Dead Awake Lyrics

Today things change i've been so fuckin' scared Since i picked up the phone
Trying to escape from me
My heart i can't think straight
on the beach waves so free
And so calm as a lake
And like me i'm so dead awake

So i hold on to what i got
For as long as I can
But now it's fallen
Apart in my hand
And it's so hard to understand
That I can't see you again

And i hold on to what got
For as long as i can
And now it's fallen apart in my hand
And it's so hard to understand

It seems like you're here with me
I just wanna see you again
Today things change
Why couldn't it be you
When I picked up the phone
The things i'd say
If i could have known
You won't be there
When i got home

Looking for answers why
It's so real it's not fake
And why am I so dead awake
Please just one more time
I wanna say good-bye
Ill wait for you
I'm not scared
I promise not to cry

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i'm gunna paste what DJ Dell'Osa said the song was about... and he wrote it... soo i figure this is pretty fitting for songmeanings.net!! "dead awake is about one of my best friends BLAZE that we lost about 7 months ago. It's so hard to go on without him ya know and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him. His little sister Raven has become my lil sis and I'll be her older brother and take care of her till the day I die. I wrote that song in Blaze's brother's point of view. His name is GAge and I wrote the song for him and his family and for my best friend forever that we will miss every second of our lives. Blaze" - DJ (www.neverheardofit.com)
