Wide Awake
thenewno2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so awake now
I'm wild at all
it's so late now and I'm tired
so tired that holds
I cross sweep, whip fields up my mind
I can't sleep until it's getting like
a cold sheets freezing in my sign
I get away uhh
and get away
That wake now cast desire
I concentrate on the things I must get right
no waste now keep an eye
on the time
Get away, uhh
and get away, uhh
The lyrics to thenewno2's song, "Wide Awake," depict a restless state of mind that hinders the singer from falling asleep despite exhaustion. The opening line, "Aha, I'm so awake now," sets the tone for a sleepless night. The repetition of "I'm wild at all" expresses the singer's frustration with their inability to calm their racing thoughts. The line "It's so late now and I'm tired, so tired that holds," communicates the irony of being too tired to sleep.
The second verse uses metaphorical language to describe the singer's efforts to quiet their mind. "I cross sweep, whip fields up my mind" could be interpreted as the singer's attempts to push away distracting thoughts. However, this approach doesn't work as the line "I can't sleep until it's getting like a cold sheets freezing in my sign" suggests. The singer seems to be caught in a cycle of sleeplessness and cannot break free from it. The chorus, "Get away and get away," indicates a desire to escape this state of mind.
Overall, "Wide Awake" is a song about the struggle to find rest when feeling mentally exhausted. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and frustration while searching for a way out of a restless mind.

Whitout no doubt - Dhani is the most innovative among the Beatles offspring! The whole album is so fresh and wonderful. "Make it Home" is just fantastic!....

Dhani Harrison is, without a doubt, a worthy successor of his father's great musical legacy!

I love how this album has such widely different sounds and styles, different genres, my favorite kind of bands/music are those that don't get stuck into one style or sound. Found this through Rolling Stone magazine review, looked it up, and amazon had whole LP for five bucks, off to buy it now. Thanks for this upload.

I got shivers when I first heard this I thought it was George from the grave. I love Dhani. He's such an influence on me.

Who would have ever thought to combine elements of soul, blues and dubstep? This is AWESOME.
