| Amy Winehouse – Wake Up Alone Lyrics | 10 years ago |

Pretty sure I'm the only person who thinks this song isn't about a break up. I think the guy Amy sang about was still very much in her life. What makes me think that is the line 'we bathe under blue light', she's singing in the present. I think it could be about an on/off relationship she was having with this guy. If you've heard her previous album Frank then this might make a little more sense. She sings a lot about relationships where people use each other purely for the physical benefits, but I think she got attached. The same theme can be heard in Tears Dry on Their Own, a relationship where she knew was getting used but she didn't mind. In this song I think the waking up alone could be about how the guy doesn't commit to her, he's no there in the morning, he's no her boyfriend, he probably doesn't love her. He might be on her mind all the time because she is falling for him. The 'bathe under blue light' could also be referring to the faint blueish/blackish light in the early hours of the morning when the room starts to get lighter and it almost looks blue. The line 'pour myself over him' I think refers to how she's given him everything, literally given herself over to him but no love has been given in return. I don't know, when I hear this song I just don't see it as a break up. I feel like even the way she sings it she sounds more frustrated than heartbroken, restless not necessarily upset. She has Love is a Losing Game and Back to Black as break up songs, the tone to them is different from this song. I really feel like its a song about being used but that's just my opinion :) |
