This is the second collaboration between Travis and Abel on ASTROWORLD, following “SKELETONS,” which immediately precedes this song.
Genius later reported that “WAKE UP” was originally intended to be a part of The Weeknd’s March 2018 EP My Dear Melancholy,, but the song was later repurposed for ASTROWORLD because it did not suit the EP.
WAKE UP
Travis Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you spread out on the sheets
Said her pussy so good
And her pussy so sweet
I don't wanna wake up
I want it flowing through my streams
Getting me hot
Under my feet
Please don't wake me up, I feel it creeping (yeah)
Controlling how you moving, lucid dreaming (dreams)
Always on the side of different seasons, yeah, yeah
Took the belt-way down to your hood
Say you was in the crowd, I never looked
Looking back how things came back around
Guess I was hooked
Burn the bread and then we burn the town
We both was cooked, yeah
Nah, nah, please don't wake me up, feel like I'm dreamin'
Any given Sunday, you can get it, Willie Beamen
I can make your Mondays even better like the weekend
That's my Coco, I'm her Ice-T (Coco, yeah, yeah)
Bend her over for some piping (it's lit)
Bust a cloud, shoot the lightning (pop it)
Pop it now, no, we can't sleep
I don't wanna wake up (yeah)
Want you spread out on the sheets (it's lit)
Say, pussy so good (pop it)
Oh, pussy so sweet (yeah)
When I wake up (yeah, yeah)
Wanna drop top on the beach (straight up)
Getting me high, yeah (yeah)
Under my feet
When I wake up
You decide if I live or die
When you're close, I'm alive, I can feel the sky
I just want your body close to me (oh)
And if I OD
I'll be alone with no heartbeat
I hope they kill us with a ghost in the Lambo'
And the doors going up, suicide
I don't wanna wake up (I don't wanna wake up)
I want you spread out on the sheets (want you spread out on the sheets)
'Cause that pussy so good (pussy so good) yeah
Girl, that pussy so sweet (pussy so sweet)
I don't wanna wake up (I don't wanna wake up)
I want it flowing through my streams (want it flowing through my streams)
Ha, getting me hot (getting me hot)
Oh, under my feet (under my feet)
I don't wanna wake up (yeah)
Travis Scott's "Wake Up" featuring The Weeknd is a sensual and dreamy ode to a lover.

The dream world also allows the two to escape from their problems and insecurities.

Line by Line Meaning
I don't wanna wake up
I don't want to come out of this dream-like state
I want you spread out on the sheets
I want you lying on the bed, so I can enjoy gazing at you
Said her pussy so good
Her intimate area was pleasing me immensely
And her pussy so sweet
Her private parts were completely irresistible to me
I want it flowing through my streams
I desire this experience to be so vivid that it becomes a part of me
Getting me hot
The feelings that come with this encounter are overwhelming
Under my feet
The sensations are so strong, it feels like I'm standing on them
Please don't wake me up, I feel it creeping (yeah)
I don't want to leave this moment; I sense it staying with me
Controlling how you moving, lucid dreaming (dreams)
I'm controlling how you move, as if it's a lucid dream
Always on the side of different seasons, yeah, yeah
Our attraction is timeless, no matter what the season is
Took the belt-way down to your hood
I drove down to your neighborhood to see you
Say you was in the crowd, I never looked
You were in the audience, and I didn't recognize you at that time
Looking back how things came back around
Reflecting on how our paths intertwined again after initially missing each other
Guess I was hooked
I became completely smitten with you
Burn the bread and then we burn the town
We caused complete chaos and destruction in our wake
We both was cooked, yeah
We were both involved in the mess, and neither of us backed out
Nah, nah, please don't wake me up, feel like I'm dreamin'
I'm lost in this experience to a degree that feels surreal
Any given Sunday, you can get it, Willie Beamon
At any time, you can have whatever you desire
I can make your Mondays even better like the weekend
I can make mundane days feel exciting with my presence
That's my Coco, I'm her Ice-T (Coco, yeah, yeah)
Our bond is strong and complementary, like the famous celebrity couple
Bend her over for some piping (it's lit!)
Engaging in sexual activity from behind, which is making us both enthusiastic
Bust a cloud, shoot the lightning (pop it)
We're generating so much energy that it sparks like thunder and lightning
Pop it now, no, we can't sleep
Let's keep doing what we're doing- there's no way we're sleeping
When I wake up (yeah, yeah)
When I have to stop enjoying this moment
Wanna drop top on the beach (straight up)
I want to make love to you in an open convertible by the beach
Getting me high, yeah (yeah)
The excitement and pleasure feels intoxicating
You decide if I live or die
You have that much power over me, whether I live or die emotionally
When you're close, I'm alive, I can feel the sky
When we're together, everything else fades away - I feel the world is ours
I just want your body close to me (oh)
All I want is for you to be near me, physically and emotionally
And if I OD
If I give myself too much of you- which could be risky
I'll be alone with no heartbeat
I'll be in a state of emotional death without you
I hope they kill us with a ghost in the Lambo'
I'd rather go down in a blaze of glory, even if it involves dying in a car crash
And the doors going up, suicide
We're going so fast, and the car is so fancy, that our death would be glamorous
