Wide Awake
Embracing Love's Light: Wide Awake by Kevin Ayers
Lyrics
Another night and I can't sleep
Experiencing insomnia, unable to sleep
I need to cry but I can't weep
Feeling the need to express emotions through tears but unable to
Feeling that I've lost control
Sensing a loss of control in life
Where's my spirit, where's my very soul?
Questioning the whereabouts of personal spirit and soul
What's the future? There's no cheer
Contemplating an uncertain future without optimism
Feeling too much doubt and fear
Overwhelmed by doubt and fear
I hide and run, I run and hide
Engaging in avoidance and escape from challenges
I just can't face the world outside my dreaming
Choosing to remain in the realm of dreams to avoid reality
Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you
Being fully awake and aware, with a presence of another person
Giving me a shake and it's true
Feeling a significant impact or realization through the presence of someone
Love is what pulls us through
Emphasizing the power of love to overcome challenges
It's so good when you're by my side
Expressing the positive influence of being in the company of a loved one
No longer need to run and hide
No longer needing to avoid or escape from reality
And when I'm dancing, singing along
Finding joy in activities like dancing and singing
Nothing seems to be so right or wrong
Recognizing the blurred line between right and wrong in such moments
Don't you worry, don't you sigh
Assuring someone not to worry or be distressed
It's not on you that I rely
Not relying on the person being addressed for emotional support
You sing love, I sing along
Engaging in a shared experience of expressing love through singing
Celebration in this song for you
Celebrating and expressing joy through a song dedicated to the person
Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you
Reiterating the state of being fully awake with the presence of the person
Giving me a shake and it's true
Highlighting the impactful presence of the person through a shake
Love is what pulls us through
Reaffirming the strength of love to guide and support
Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you
Continuing to emphasize the awakening effect of the person's presence
Giving me a shake and it's true
Repeating the acknowledgment of the impact of the person's presence
Love is what pulls us through
Reiterating the theme that love is a powerful force that helps overcome challenges
