Wake Up Call
Useless ID Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So far away off this land, getting there is hard
Wasted accomplishments, more angry faces
Is not for me still I'm trying
I think there's so much more to learn
On how easy the all so hard appear to be
What can I do than take it out on you
Today started off tired as usual
When the lightning has struck me it was 10 am
I know that she noticed my eyes stuck on her view
Again the week is over
I hope this Friday I will find her
Hoping she's the one I've been looking for
What more is left to say
Grey skies, head down
Facing the crowd, anybody know
What the hell am I singing about
Something I am trying to figure out

Nevertheless, the singer still seems to be searching for answers and struggling to find his place in the world.
Overall, "Wake Up Call" is a poignant and relatable depiction of the difficulties many young people face when trying to make sense of their lives and navigate the uncertainties of adulthood.
