It wasn't always about hardstyle for Pontuz & Jon. Before they started producing hardstyle they we're into "hands-up/cheesy-dance" music. It was the track "Scantraxx Rootz" who made them open up their eyes and ears for the harder styles. After that moment they were hooked on hard.
Pontuz had already produced some hardstyle tracks with his "Teequee" alias in 2006-2007, as Jon was continuing with his "cheesy-dance". It wasn't until mid 2008 they decided to start a hardstyle project together, cause' of their big love for hard beats and catchy melodies. Wasted Penguinz was born. You may ask yourself ; "why the strange name!?" well, it was a combination of random brainstorming & lots of beer. So now the journey had begun.
As they were improving their productions they got more knowledge of the hardstyle scene. The time had come to take the next step.Sending some of their tracks to labels they got an answer from a smaller label called Bazz Implant/impMUSIC. Their first release was a fact.
2010 saw the releases Hate Modayz/Resistance as well as Anxiety on the prestigious Scantraxx Silver label. Later in the year, the Penguinz were voted the best Hardstyle New Face of 2010 by the Fear.FM Community.
On February 10th 2020, they announced on their facebook page that Jon would no longer be part of the duo due to personal issues. Pontus will continue the project alone.
Wide Awake
Wasted Penguinz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That love was somewhere in a dream
So I′d hold on
Just live inside the memories
And all the words I should have said
All the ghosts inside my head
I'm letting go
So pull me down into your world below
Give me the key to where your reckless love goes
I want to feel every high and every heartbreak
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I′m wide awake
So light the flame
Let it burn under my skin
Take me to the edge and let me fall again
And every wrong that should be right
Every doubt that′s in my mind
It fades away
So pull me down into your world below
Give me the key to where your reckless love goes
I want to feel every high and every heartbreak
I'm wide awake (I′m wide awake)
I'm wide awake
The lyrics to Wasted Penguinz's song "Wide Awake" describe the journey of a person who once believed that love was something that only existed in their dreams. They have struggled to express their emotions, holding onto memories and feeling haunted by past experiences. However, they have gained strength and now feel ready to let go of their fears and dive headfirst into the world of love. The person longs to experience every emotional extreme, from the highest highs to the lowest heartbreaks, and is fully aware and alert in every moment.
The line "Take me to the edge and let me fall again" represents the desire to take risks and fully immerse oneself in love, even if it means risking getting hurt. The person is willing to sacrifice their fears and doubts to fully experience love and all its complexities. The lyrics express a sense of freedom and a willingness to let go of inhibitions, ultimately resulting in the feeling of being "wide awake" and fully alive.

I used to think
I previously believed
That love was somewhere in a dream
That love was a distant fantasy
So I’d hold on
I clung to this ideal
Just live inside the memories
And only exist in the past
And all the words I should have said
All the unspoken thoughts and feelings
All the ghosts inside my head
Old regrets and doubts that still haunt me
I'm letting go
I'm releasing my grip on them
I’m not afraid anymore
I have found a new sense of courage
So pull me down into your world below
Take me on an adventure to your unknown realm
Give me the key to where your reckless love goes
Guidance to your unbridled passion
I want to feel every high and every heartbreak
To experience the heights and depths of emotions
I’m wide awake
My senses are heightened
So light the flame
Ignite my passion
Let it burn under my skin
Let it penetrate deep within me
Take me to the edge and let me fall again
Push me to my limits and let me experience the thrill of the plunge
And every wrong that should be right
All the things that should have been corrected
Every doubt that’s in my mind
Every uncertainty that clouds my thoughts
It fades away
Gradually disappears
