Lyrics and translation
Original
Wake me up.
Wake me up. I'm walking through a dream.
I'm walking through the finest place I've ever seen. Hey man, won't you wake me up?
Said hey man, won't you wake me up?
I'm walking through the fire. The fire down the wire. Burning up my desire.
Hey man, won't you come, come give me a gun?
Help me blow the lights right out of the sun.
So won't you tell me if I'm dreaming? Oh no.
I need to know just where I stand. Oh no. But it turns out my hands are useless.
Oh no. But maybe I'm a better man. Oh no.
Said wake me up.
Said wake me up.
Said wake me up.
I'm dancing on the screens. I'm dancing in the mountains where I've always been.
Hey man, won't you wake me up?
Said hey man, won't you wake me up?
I'm kicking down the doors. I'm climbing up the walls of the house that's yours.
Hey man, won't you come, come give me a gun? Help me blow the lights right out of the sun.
So won't you tell me if I'm dreaming? Oh no. I need to know just where I stand. Oh no.
But it turns out my hands are useless. Oh no. But maybe I'm a better man.
Oh no.
Said wake me up.
Said wake me up.
Said wake me up.
We're dancing on the circles. I'm dancing on the poles.
Deny your own expression, you deny the things you know. We're living through the ages.
We're dancing on the tiles. Commit to any handshake, believe a decent smile. I'm burning all my bridges.
I'm pulling at the ropes. Deleting all the codes. No, I'm not that man you know.
You walk into a trap. Then you walk into your youth.
You're living all that life with a pair of dusty boots. So won't you tell me if I'm dreaming? Oh no.
I need to know just where I stand. Oh no. But it turns out my hands are useless. Oh no.
But maybe I'm a better man. Oh no. So won't you tell me if I'm dreaming?
Said wake me up. I need to know just where I stand. Said wake me up.
But it turns out my hands are useless.
Said wake me up. But maybe I'm a better man. Oh no. So won't you tell me if I'm dreaming?
Said wake me up. I need to know just where I stand. Said wake me up.
But it turns out my hands are useless.
Said wake me up. But maybe I'm a better man. Oh no.
Said wake me up.
Said wake me up. Said wake me up.
Oh no
