Wake the Dead
Awakening Desires: Unveiling the Mirror of Twisted Perspectives in 'Wake the Dead'
Lyrics
Anything you hate in me
Addressing disliked qualities in oneself
I can find in you
Suggesting reciprocal flaws in the other person
You’re a mirror image of
Pointing out a shared distorted perspective
My twisted point of view
Expressing a common twisted mindset
Because
Transition or bridge to the chorus
Nobody, nobody else
Highlighting a unique and captivating movement or behavior
Moves like you do
-Nobody, nobody else
-Shakes me loose up from the underground
-Wake the dead
Encouraging a bold awakening or change from a stagnant state
It’s time to get out
-Crawl away from your grave
-Wake the dead
-It’s time to break down
-Follow me until
-Until we waste away
-Fill the gas in my desire
Emphasizing a dangerous yet enticing desire
Ignore the pain in your past
-I’m the devil at your door
-Nothing you love will last
-Because
Reiterating the allure of a particular individual
Nobody, nobody else
-Moves like you do
-Nobody, nobody else
-Shakes me loose up from the underground
-Wake the dead
Repeating the call for a radical transformation
It’s time to get out
-Crawl away from your grave
-Wake the dead
-It’s time to break down
-Follow me until
-Until we waste away
-Take the blade
Introducing themes of betrayal and loss of control
Love betrayed
-Falling forward
-No restrain
-Windows boarded
Conveying a sense of confinement and vulnerability
Feeling cornered
-Take the blade
Continuation of themes related to betrayal and shame
Love betrayed
-Bleach the stain
-Hide the shame
-Bleach the stain
Symbolic cleansing and hiding of emotional scars
Hide the shame
-Wake the dead
Reiteration of the need for a profound change
It’s time to get out
-Crawl away from your grave
-Wake the dead
-It’s time to break down
-Follow me until
-Until we waste away
-Wake the dead
Repeating the urgency of breaking away from negativity
It’s time to get out
-Crawl away from your grave
-Wake the dead
-It’s time to break down
-Follow me until
-Until we waste away
-Wake the dead
Final emphasis on the call to action and the inevitability of decay
It’s time to get out
-Crawl away from your grave
-Wake the dead
-It’s time to break down
-Follow me until
-Until we waste away
