Wake Up
Awakening Dreams: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Carolina Story's 'Wake Up'
Lyrics
Every time I close my eyes
Feeling trapped or lost in a recurring dream when eyes are closed.
I get stuck in another dream
Sensation of being unable to escape or break free from a dream.
Like the one where I'm an astronaut
Imagining oneself as an astronaut, detached and distant from reality.
Drifting away in a big machine
Symbolic portrayal of drifting away in a significant mechanism or situation.
The ship is always made of glass
The fragility and transparency of the imagined spacecraft.
And the stars are all made of gold
An idealized or precious representation of the stars.
One minute I'm a young man
Transitioning rapidly from youthfulness to feeling aged or worn.
And the next I'm much too old
Quick and unsettling changes in one's perceived age.
What does it mean?
Questioning the significance or implication of these dreams.
Am I just out here wasting time?
Concern about spending time aimlessly or without purpose.
What is it that I'm looking for?
Seeking understanding or clarity about personal desires or goals.
What is it that I hope to find?
Questioning the expectations or aspirations in life.
What does it mean
Reiteration of the quest for meaning in experiences.
When you feel like an actor in a scene?
Feeling detached or disconnected from reality, akin to acting.
Just shifting through the backdrops
Moving through various scenarios or situations without control.
I just wanna wake up
Expressing the desire to awaken from this confusing state.
I just wanna wake up
-Then there's the one where I am falling
Experiencing a dream where falling signifies impending danger.
From some high-rise hotel room
The fear of impending catastrophe and the relief of not succumbing to it.
Any minute I could hit the ground
-but somehow I never do
-And the one where I am running
Running away from self-created fears or troubles.
From all the monsters I create
Feeling trapped and hindered, unable to escape from problems.
stuck in slow motion
-Up to the knees in muddy clay
-What does it mean?
Repeating questions about the purpose or meaning behind these experiences.
Am I just out here wasting time?
-What is it that I'm looking for?
-What is it that I hope to find?
-What does it mean
Reiteration of feeling like an actor, navigating through life's scenes.
When you feel like an actor in a scene?
Continued sense of detachment and lack of control.
Just shifting through the backdrops
Desire to break free from the cycle of confusing experiences.
I just wanna wake up
-I just wanna wake up
-What does it mean?
-Am I just out here wasting time?
-What is it that I'm looking for?
-What is it that I hope to find?
-What does it mean
-When you feel like an actor in a scene?
-Just shifting through the backdrops
-I just wanna wake up
Expressing the desire to awaken from this confusing state.
I just wanna wake up
-I just wanna wake up
