Why do I wake up in the morning-nothing's changed since the day of my birth
Why do I wake up in the morning-I make no difference on this earth
Strength has left-has to be-something has died inside of me If I don’t wake up in the morning-at my funeral would anyone care
If I don’t wake up in the morning-would anyone even be there
You can put me down-you can put me out, you can try to ignore
But now you’re gonna hear me when I shout WAKE UP
Why should I wake up in the morning-it be just another wasted day
Why should I wake up in the morning-don't do nothing right anyway
That was then-not anymore-now I go blasting out the door
I’m gonna wake up in the morning-I'll prove you wrong I will not fail
I’m gonna wake up in the morning-I'm gonna blaze a brand new trail
Might not be smart, but if I’m strong
I know for sure no one ever will prove me wrong
Can't believe how under rated this band is, but i almost like it that way! Most of the posers arguing over whether or not the Black Album is better than Kill 'em All have never even heard of ST! And ST can rock as hard as anyone!! These songs sound as good today as they did in the late 80's early 90's!
The way I deciphered the lyrics was: (Not that it matters...)
There's something's you're not suppose to talk about, like all the things I ever think about.
I get so tired I just wanna sleep, sleep away in a trance so deep. Feel my soul floating free, no more pain left in me. And if I sleep until tomorrow would I even care to wake up in sorrow cause I missed another day? I probably won't remember it anyway. Well, it seems like the world is leaving me behind, when I try to explain you say I lost my mind, you say I need some help, well what else do you think it's gonna do you gotta know it's true, no help from you. So I sit and think about the things I'm not suppose to talk about. Thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking. Never know progress and I know I'm not the only one... WAKE UP!
This really sounds like the over-sleeping stage of depression when you just want to sleep to waste away the time, because you're numb when you're asleep. Then when you snap out of it, or try to go back to going through the day like a functioning person, you feel like you've been left behind and everyone's moved on. But you really do need strong will to get out of that habit and I think that's what these lyrics are trying to convey. Just my opinion.
Saved my life when I was younger...The message is you can pull yourself up. I am at the moment in some conflict and this reminds me of where I used to be...Wake UP
