Wake You Up
Unveiling the Depths of Emotional Turmoil in "Wake You Up" by Dan Valnic
Lyrics
Wake you up
Expressing the desire to awaken someone.
From all the lies that you're telling yourself to keep your pride
Highlighting the presence of self-deception and prideful lies that need to be confronted.
Wake me up
Expressing the need for the speaker to be awakened.
Cause ever since we met you've been killing me slowly (Now)
Addressing the impact of a slow emotional harm since the encounter with the other person.
(Let me)
Inviting the other person to allow the speaker to wake them up.
Wake you up
Reiteration of the desire to wake the other person up from self-deception.
From all the lies that you're telling yourself to keep your pride
Restating the presence of lies and prideful self-deception in the other person.
Wake me up
Reiterating the emotional harm caused since the initial meeting.
Cause ever since we met you've been killing me slowly (Now)
Requesting the other person to awaken the speaker.
You walk in there's nobody
Describing the other person's impact on the speaker's mind and soul, acknowledging a desire for harm.
Who won't kneel before you could count to three
-You walked in, into my mind (Mind)
-I caught you creeping
-Deep inside my soul
-You wanted me dead – oh I know
-I caught you creeping
-Deep inside my soul
-You wanted me dead – now I know
Reiteration of the realization that the other person wished harm upon the speaker.
(Let me)
Repeating the invitation to wake up the other person.
Wake you up
Reiterating the need to confront self-deception and emotional harm in the other person.
From all the lies that you're telling yourself to keep your pride
-Wake me up
-Cause ever since we met you've been killing me slowly (Now)
-You walk in there's nobody
Describing the other person's intrusive actions, messing with the speaker's head, and affecting sanity.
Who won't kneel before you could count to three
-You walked in, into my mind (Mind)
-I caught you reaping
-You're coming after me
-You're messing with my head – I won't be leaving
-I caught you sweeping
-My sanity away
-I'm running from myself – you can't outrun me
Expressing the difficulty of escaping from the impact of the other person.
F***
Conveying emotions of heartbreak, craziness, and an intense desire despite the negative impact of the relationship.
Break my heart and
-Call me crazy
-She wanted me bad
-Oh you wanted me bad
-Break my heart and (Break my heart and)
-Call me crazy (Call me crazy)
-She wanted me bad
-Oh you wanted me bad
-(Let me)
-Wake you up
-From all the lies that you're telling yourself to keep your pride
-Wake me up
-Cause ever since we met you've been killing me slowly (Now)
-You walk in there's nobody
-Who won't kneel before you could count to three
-You walked in, into my mind (Mind)
-Before I leave
-Before I'm going
-Before I leave
-You gotta know that
-Before I leave
-Before I'm going
-Before I leave
-You gotta know that
-You broke my heart and
-You drove me crazy
-You wanted me dead
-I still wanted you bad
-I wanted you bad
-I wanted you bad
-Bad - bad - bad- bad
Repeating the word "bad" as a strong emphasis on the negative aspects of the relationship.
