Don't Wake Me Up
Embracing Shadows: Ezra Williams' Soulful Journey Through Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Keep it foggy keep it gone
Expressing a desire to keep things unclear and distant.
A feeling like this shouldn't be kept
Suggesting that a particular emotion or sensation shouldn't be repressed or hidden.
For this long
Reflecting on the prolonged duration of suppressing the mentioned emotion or feeling.
But I wanna be numb
Expressing a desire to be emotionally detached or indifferent.
I wanna feel everything at once
Expressing a contradictory desire to experience all emotions simultaneously.
I wanna be somebody
Expressing a desire to transform and be someone else.
Someone/anyone who isn't me
Expressing a broader desire to be anyone other than the current self.
But in the morning don't wake me up
Requesting not to be disturbed or awakened in the morning.
I can't face these people i pretend to love
Expressing difficulty in facing people whom the speaker pretends to love.
Don't wake me up
Reiterating the request not to be awakened.
Keep it chronic keep it sore
Expressing a desire to maintain a constant state of emotional pain.
I'm afraid of not being able
Expressing fear of being unable to continue pretending.
To pretend anymore
Reflecting on the challenge of pretending for an extended period.
But I wanna be free
Expressing a desire for freedom, possibly from emotional burdens.
I wanna feel something that isn't me
Expressing a desire to feel something beyond the speaker's own identity.
I wanna be the person my mom sees
Expressing a desire to match the positive perception of the speaker's mother.
But in the morning don't wake me up
Reiterating the plea not to be awakened in the morning.
I can't face these people i pretend to love
Highlighting the difficulty of facing people the speaker pretends to love.
Don't wake me up
Reiterating the strong desire not to be disturbed upon waking up.
Don't wake me up
Final plea not to be awakened.
