Lyrics

I just stayed there

I remained in a certain state or place

And I was born at the scene of a crime

I was born in a location associated with a criminal act

Every witness, well he was deaf and dumb

All the witnesses were unable to perceive or communicate; deaf, dumb, and blind

And blind


Every highlight leads the high life, yeah

Each notable or important moment leads to a luxurious or extravagant lifestyle

Doo-we oo-wee a baba

Expression without specific meaning (onomatopoeia)

Doo-we oo-wee a baba

-

Every moment was a moment, ah

Every single moment was significant

Doo-we oo-wee a baba

Expression without specific meaning (onomatopoeia)

Doo-we oo-wee a baba

-

Well, how'd I get here?

Questioning how the speaker arrived at their current state or situation

You know I followed the billboard sign

The speaker followed a billboard sign to reach their current location

Every product, well it follows me down the line

Products or influences follow the speaker consistently


Every daydream, every dead one, too

Both positive and negative daydreams follow the speaker

Doo-we oo-wee a baba

Expression without specific meaning (onomatopoeia)

Doo-we oo-wee a baba

-

Every wish that you could wish for came true

Every conceivable wish has come true

Doo-we oo-wee a baba

Expression without specific meaning (onomatopoeia)

Doo-we oo-wee a baba

-

Every daydream, every dead one, too

Both positive and negative daydreams follow the speaker


Every wish that you could wish for came true

Every conceivable wish has come true


Oh, wake up

Invitation or command to become aware or conscious

Wake up, wake up

Repetition of the call to wake up

We are only part of a dream

Realization that existence is part of a dream or illusion

All the things in your heart

All the emotions and desires in one's heart

Like the things in your head

Similar to thoughts in one's mind

Are only what they seem

Things are only as they appear to be


Oh, wake up

Repetition of the call to wake up

Wake up, wake up

-

We are only part of a dream

Reiteration that existence is part of a dream or illusion

All the things in your heart

All the emotions and desires in one's heart

Like the things in your head

Similar to thoughts in one's mind

Are only what they seem

Things are only as they appear to be


Oh, wake up

Repetition of the call to wake up

Wake up, wake up

-

We are only part of a dream

Reiteration that existence is part of a dream or illusion

All the things in your heart

All the emotions and desires in one's heart

Like the things in your head

Similar to thoughts in one's mind

Are only what they seem

Things are only as they appear to be


Hey, c'mon, man, everybody wake up

Encouragement or request for everyone to become aware

Wake up, wake up

Repetition of the call to wake up

We are only a part of a dream

Reiteration that existence is part of a dream or illusion

All the things in your heart

All the emotions and desires in one's heart

Like the things in your head

Similar to thoughts in one's mind

Are only what they seem

Things are only as they appear to be
