When You Wake Up
Eternal Love Echoes: Jake Aarons' Poignant Morning Departure
Lyrics
So when you wake up in the morning
Expressing the idea of waking up in the morning.
And I'm already gone
Indicating the singer's absence by the time the listener wakes up.
Just know that I loved you
Assuring the listener of the singer's love.
With every piece of my soul
Conveying deep and complete love from the singer.
So when you wake up in the morning
Repetition of the morning scenario, reinforcing the theme.
And I won't open up my eyes
Suggesting the singer keeping their eyes closed, possibly metaphorical.
I don't want you to cry
Encouraging the listener not to cry when the singer is absent.
Just remember that I've tried
Highlighting the singer's effort in the relationship.
I've tried
Emphasizing the repeated attempts by the singer.
I've tried
-I've tried to make it out alive
Expressing struggles and the desire to survive.
Anxiety is filling me
Acknowledging the presence of anxiety.
Is it still me
Raising questions about self-identity and existence.
Or is she living 'me'
-I'm twenty something
Describing the singer's age and the pursuit of identity.
Trying to be a something
-Still can't find myself
Expressing a struggle to find oneself in the world.
Inside this world
-Where do I belong
Pondering the sense of belonging.
Do I belong?
-Society is pushing me
Highlighting societal pressures and their impact.
Is it still me
-Or is she killing me
Continuing the theme of self-discovery and identity crisis.
I'm twenty something
-Still feel like nothing
Expressing a persistent feeling of insignificance.
Still can't find myself
-Inside this world
Reiterating the struggle to find oneself in the world.
Where do I belong
-Do I belong?
Pondering the finality of the singer's existence.
If this is the last piece of me
-Last song, last vocal, last memory
Highlighting the potential last moments, emphasizing memory.
Remember me
Reiterating the desire to be remembered.
Remember me
-So when you wake up in the morning
Recalling the morning scenario, repeating the love declaration.
And I'm already gone
-Just know that I loved you
Reaffirming deep love for the listener.
With every piece of my soul
-So when you wake up in the morning
Repetition of the singer not opening their eyes.
And I won't open up my eyes
Expressing the desire for the listener not to cry.
I don't want you to cry
-Just remember that I've tried
Reiterating the singer's effort in the relationship.
I've tried
-If I'm to die
Contemplating the possibility of the singer's death.
Before I say that I love you
Expressing a hope that the song will serve as a reminder of love.
I hope this song
Linking the song to the sentiment of love and memory.
Will be there to remind you
-That you were
Affirming the listener as everything the singer ever wanted and needed.
Everything I ever wanted
-And needed
-Can you feel it
Asking if the listener can feel the singer's emotions and presence.
Can you feel it
-Can you feel it
-Can you feel me
-Can you feel me
-Can you feel me
-Can you feel me, yeah, yeah, yeah
-I've tried to make it out alive
Reiterating the singer's effort to survive.
