Woke up This Morning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Already said goodbye nothing left to say
A tiny church, a tiny town and not a tear was spent
Not how I wanted it I'm hating all of this
Well I'm hating all of this
I'm hating all of this
All of this
Now I know why I hide my love from you some days
No I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along and tore this wall down around me
Looks like you found me, now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning
I've been a loser all my life I'm not about to change
If you don't like it, there's the door nobody made you stay
There ain't a woman on the planet who can deal with it
Just how I wanted it I'm hating all of this
Well I'm hating all of this
I'm hating all of this
All of this
All of this
Now I know why I hide my love from you some days
No I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along and tore this wall down around me
Looks like you found me, now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning
Well I'm hating, All of this, I'm hating,
All of this, All of this, All of this
Now I know why I hide my love from you some days
No I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along and tore this wall down around me
Looks like you found me, now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning
The song "Woke Up This Morning" by Nickelback is a song that reflects on the emotions and thoughts of a man who has just buried someone he loved. The song begins with the man expressing his deep pain and sadness at having to say goodbye. He describes the funeral as a small affair, in a tiny church and a tiny town, where no one seems to care enough to shed a tear for the departed. The man is clearly angry and resentful of this lack of emotion and feels like the person he lost deserves better. He hates everything about this experience.
The lyrics then shift to the man's relationship with the woman he loves. He shares that he sometimes hides his love from her because of the pain he fears it may bring. He describes keeping his feelings bottled up inside of him. However, the woman tears down the walls he has built, and he realizes that she has found him. While he is grateful for this, it also triggers his sadness, and he feels like shit.
Overall, the song is an emotional rollercoaster that explores themes of love, grief, and anger. The lyrics are raw and honest, and they paint a vivid picture of the man's inner turmoil.
