WAKE ME UP
Though She Wrote Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me this is all a dream,
And I'm not stuck in complacency.
wake me up, wake me up!
I can't see anything coming from this way of living,
I haven't felt anything weeks,
I've lost my motivation, to get up on my feet.
But I've seen the way, you can move these streets,
Paint them new, with love and gold
and I've felt the freedom inside my soul
But it feels like I'm running on empty.
I never thought I'd be here. I can't say I see You there.
Apathetic. I've lost all motivation.
()
Here I am, I'm coming home (wake me up wake me up)
Take me as I am, I'm coming home
This can't be what you wanted, when You laid Your life down
Help me see through Your eyes, to what You see in me
()
I'm just scared, and I've let you down more than I care to count
but Your forgiveness, is what I'm drowning in
(end bridge)
Give me strength, to be Your, hands and feet.
Pull back the shades, to let the light in.
The lyrics of "Wake Me Up" by Though She Wrote touch on some deep emotions that many of us experience at some point in our lives. The opening lines "Is this how I really feel? Tell me this is all a dream, And I'm not stuck in complacency" convey a sense of being lost and disillusioned with life. The singer's plea to be woken up from this state of lethargy and to be shown a new way of living is a common theme in songs about self-discovery and spiritual awakening. The line "I've lost my motivation, to get up on my feet" is particularly poignant, as it expresses a feeling of being weighed down by life's challenges and feeling hopeless about the future.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses a glimmer of hope, recognizing that there is a better way of living and that they have the power to change their circumstances. The lines "But I've seen the way, you can move these streets, Paint them new, with love and gold and I've felt the freedom inside my soul" suggest that the singer has experienced some transformative moments that have given them a sense of purpose and direction, but they are struggling to maintain that momentum. The chorus, with its repeated plea to be woken up, encapsulates the singer's desire to break free from apathy and become a fully alive and engaged human being.
The bridge of the song is particularly moving, as it expresses the singer's fear of disappointing the divine and their longing for forgiveness and strength to live a more meaningful life. The final lines "Give me strength, to be Your hands and feet. Pull back the shades, to let the light in" suggest that the singer is ready to embrace their true calling and become an instrument of divine love and grace in the world.
