Awake
WRLD feat. Colordrive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She said sometimes I just float away
from a sleep on the tip of break of day
I wait for no one until I'm ready
Don't get me up don't get me up 'til I'm awake
She said son it's time to start the day
Don't get me up, nuh huh don't get me up 'til I'm awake
She said son it's time to start the day
Don't get me up, nuh huh don't get me up 'til I'm awake

She looks back at me
taking here time making me think
What did I do? What did I say?
City of light city of night
baby everything you're talking about feels like lightning run through my vein, run through my vane
She said sometimes I just float away
from a sleep on the tip of break of day
I wait for no one until I'm ready
Don't get me up don't get me up 'til I'm awake
She said son it's time to start the day
Don't get me up, nuh huh don't get me up 'til I'm awake
She said son it's time to start the day
Don't get me up, nuh huh don't get me up 'til I'm awake




City of light city of night
baby everything you're talking about feels like lightning run through my vein, run through my vein

Overall Meaning

The song "Awake" by WRLD feat. Colordrive is about a person who struggles to wake up in the morning and instead prefers to float away in their thoughts until they are ready to start their day. The singer of the song is being spoken to by a woman, presumably his mother, who is trying to convince him to start his day but is met with resistance. The lyrics can be interpreted as a representation of the struggle to balance rest and productivity, as well as the importance of taking the time to prepare oneself mentally before diving into the demands of everyday life.


The phrase "tip of break of day" refers to the moment just before dawn breaks and the sky begins to lighten, indicating that the singer is waking up early but not necessarily feeling ready to start their day. The line "I wait for no one until I'm ready" suggests a sense of independence and self-determination, with the singer not willing to be forced into a routine by external pressures. The repeated refrain "Don't get me up 'til I'm awake" further emphasizes this sentiment, with the singer wanting to be fully conscious and present before engaging with the world around them.

Lyrics if somebody should be interested :D

She said, "Sometimes, I just float away"
I fall asleep until the break of day
I'm waiting now, woah hun, till I'm ready
Don't get me up (don't get me up)
Don't get me up till I'm awake
She said, "Son, it's time to start the day"
Don't get me up, no, oh
Don't get me up till I'm awake

She said, "Sometimes, I just float away"
I fall asleep until the break of day
I'm waiting now, woah hun, till I'm ready
Don't get me up (don't get me up)
Don't get me up till I'm awake
She said, "Son, it's time to start the day"
Don't get me up, no, oh
Don't get me up till I'm awake

She looks back at me
Taking her time
Making me faint
What did I do?
What did I say?
City alight
City at night
Baby, everything you talk about feels like lightning
Runnin' through my veins (runnin' through my veins)
Runnin' through my veins

She said, "Sometimes, I just float away"
I fall asleep until the break of day
I'm waiting now, woah hun, till I'm ready
Don't get me up (don't get me up)
Don't get me up till I'm awake
She said, "Son, it's time to start the day"
Don't get me up, no, oh
Don't get me up till I'm awake

She said, "Sometimes, I just float away"
I fall asleep until the break of day
I'm waiting now, woah hun, till I'm ready
Don't get me up (don't get me up)
Don't get me up till I'm awake
She said, "Son, it's time to start the day"
Don't get me up, no, oh
Don't get me up till I'm awake

City alight
City at night
Baby, everything you talk about feels like lightning
Runnin' through my veins (runnin' through my veins)
Runnin' through my veins

City alight
City at night
Baby, everything you talk about feels like lightning
Runnin' through my veins (runnin' through my veins)
Runnin' through my veins
