Lyrics

Feeling my way through the darkness

Feeling my way through challenges or uncertainties without clear guidance.

Guided by a beating heart

Driven by strong emotions or passion.

I can't tell where the journey will end

Uncertain about the destination of the journey.

But I know where to start

Confident in starting the journey despite uncertainties.

They tell me I'm too young to understand

Others perceive me as lacking experience or understanding.

They say I'm caught up in a dream

People believe I'm immersed in unrealistic aspirations.

Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes

Awareness that life may pass quickly if I remain oblivious.

Well that's fine by me

Acceptance of life's progression without actively participating.


So wake me up when it's all over

Request to be awakened when a certain phase or situation concludes.

When I'm wiser and I'm older

Desire to gain wisdom and maturity from experiences.

All this time I was finding myself, and I

Realization of self-discovery throughout a period.

Didn't know I was lost

Not initially aware of being lost before the self-realization.


So wake me up when it's all over

Reiteration of the request to be awakened at a specific moment.

When I'm wiser and I'm older

Desire to attain wisdom and experience through time.

All this time I was finding myself, and I

Continued emphasis on self-discovery and realization.

Didn't know I was lost

Similar to line 13, acknowledging the previous unawareness of being lost.


I tried carrying the weight of the world

Attempt to handle immense responsibilities but limited capacity.

But I only have two hands

Recognizing limitations in dealing with everything alone.

Hope I get the chance to travel the world

Desire for opportunities to explore the world without specific plans.

But I don't have any plans

Being open to experiences without rigidly defined goals.

Wish that I could stay forever this young

Wishing to remain youthful and carefree.

Not afraid to close my eyes

Unafraid of taking risks or facing unknown situations.

Life's a game made for everyone

Understanding life as an inclusive experience for everyone.

And love is a prize

Recognizing love as a valuable achievement.


So wake me up when it's all over

Repetition of the request for awakening at a certain point.

When I'm wiser and I'm older

Desire for growth and development over time.

All this time I was finding myself, and I

Continued acknowledgment of self-discovery during life's progression.

Didn't know I was lost

Reiterating the unawareness of being lost until self-realization.


So wake me up when it's all over

Repeated call to be awakened when a phase concludes.

When I'm wiser and I'm older

Desire for wisdom and growth with age.

All this time I was finding myself, and I

Emphasis on ongoing self-discovery amid life's changes.

I didn't know I was lost

Admission of not recognizing being lost until self-awareness.


I didn't know I was lost

Repetition emphasizing previous unawareness of being lost.

I didn't know I was lost

Reiterating the previous lack of self-realization about being lost.

I didn't know I was lost

Continued emphasis on prior lack of self-awareness.

I didn't know

Final repetition signifying the previous lack of realization.
