If Before I Wake
Awakening in the Storm: A Narcissist's Journey
Lyrics
Thunder woke me up, it was storming in the city
Awakening to the sound of thunder during a storm in the city.
I was suddenly wide awake
Feeling suddenly and fully awake.
Sittin' in the darkness but my eyes they had adjusted
Sitting in the darkness, eyes adjusted, alone.
I was on my own, on my own
Emphasizing solitude, being on one's own.
I should find it scary, lighting show could start a fire
Recognizing the potential danger of lightning causing a fire.
Brick and mortar might not survive
Suggesting that physical structures might not withstand the storm.
Would you start to miss me, would you start to miss me?
Wondering if others would miss the speaker if something happened.
Or am I all alone? No
Expressing a sense of loneliness, questioning if anyone is there.
I'm just a narcissist
Acknowledging a self-centered personality trait, perhaps with a hint of self-awareness.
Too blessed to be depressed, thank Jesus
Optimistically asserting a positive state of mind, being thankful.
God, I'm bending over, love me
A spiritual reference, possibly surrendering or seeking divine guidance.
I'll let you take my sins out on me
Offering to bear the consequences of one's mistakes for the sake of love.
I'll be your ever after honey
Committing to be someone's 'ever after,' suggesting eternal love.
Thunder woke me up, it was storming in the city
Repeating the experience of waking to thunder in the storm.
I was suddenly wide awake
Reiteration of suddenly being wide awake.
Sittin' in the darkness but my eyes they had adjusted
Restating sitting in darkness with adjusted eyes, emphasizing aloneness.
I was on my own, on my own
Reemphasizing the theme of solitude, being on one's own.
I should find it scary, lighting show could start a fire
Reiterating the potential danger of lightning causing a fire.
Brick and mortar might not survive
Repeating the idea that buildings may not survive the storm.
Would you start to miss me, would you start to miss me?
Revisiting the question of whether others would miss the speaker.
Or am I all alone? No
Reiterating the sense of loneliness and questioning if anyone is there.
I'm just a narcissist
Reaffirming a self-centered trait, perhaps with a sense of resignation.
I'm just a narcissist
Repeating the self-aware acknowledgment of being a narcissist.
