Wake Me Up Lyrics

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is a prize

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know

What is the Meaning of Wake Me Up?

Navigating through the journey of life, this powerful anthem serves as a reminder that it's okay to not have everything figured out. It speaks to the youthful feeling of being lost and the process of self-discovery. The lyrics convey a desire to grow and learn from experiences, yet there's an underlying fear of missing out on life while trying to find oneself. The repeated plea "wake me up when it's all over" reflects a longing for maturity and wisdom that supposedly comes with age. Yet, in seeking these, one might overlook the beauty of being young and carefree. This song is about embracing uncertainty, cherishing each moment, and realizing that sometimes, it's in getting lost that we truly find ourselves. #SelfDiscovery #EmbraceTheJourney
