Wake Up Lyrics
we are alive for a moment
one second in the great abyss of time
all the bleeding and all the hate
just one blink of an eye
all the conflict
visits dire pain on human life
are we missing what it is to be alive?
one by one the pieces fall
until our pride defeats us all
or we learn to live without it
WAKE UP - to the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP - to it's deafening song
WAKE UP - cause you don't know what you've got
until it's gone
our innocence is a virtue
but our arrogance will only leave us blind,
unattended
without anyone to save our idle lives
will we find out
that everything we know exists inside
of a fraction of a fraction
and one by one the pieces fall again
WAKE UP - to the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP - to it's deafening song
WAKE UP - cause you don't know what you've got
until it's gone
one by one the pieces fall
until our pride defeats us all
WAKE UP - to the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP - to it's deafening song
WAKE UP - cause you don't know what you've got
until it's gone
one second in the great abyss of time
all the bleeding and all the hate
just one blink of an eye
all the conflict
visits dire pain on human life
are we missing what it is to be alive?
until our pride defeats us all
or we learn to live without it
WAKE UP - to it's deafening song
WAKE UP - cause you don't know what you've got
until it's gone
but our arrogance will only leave us blind,
unattended
without anyone to save our idle lives
will we find out
that everything we know exists inside
of a fraction of a fraction
WAKE UP - to it's deafening song
WAKE UP - cause you don't know what you've got
until it's gone
until our pride defeats us all
WAKE UP - to it's deafening song
WAKE UP - cause you don't know what you've got
until it's gone

i think it means that we always let out pride and selfishness get the best of us, and if we don't do something about it....it's eventually going to kill us, and we'll end up w/ nothing!!
it's saying how the world shouldn't be so bad when we only have a little while to be in it. It's saying wake up and realize that pretty soon it'll all be gone and all the memories we have will be of bad shit and nothing good or worth remembering, so change, :]

this song is great im also expecting big things from this album
So it's great to see they are going back to there old ways using the the turn table. The song is about how we are wasting our lives with war and destruction, we take for granted our lives.
Anyway I hope they do another song like in her bedroom..that my favorite song by these guys such a sick mix at the end of the song..If you haven't heard it..FIND IT
I don't know how anyone can say In the Wake... was a let down. That was one of the best albums I've ever had the pleasure of exposing my ears to. It was very metal and I am a very metal person. I also have had the chance to listen to the entire NEW album and I must say...I wet my pants just a little. You think In the Wake... was too metal...oh you're going to love The Black Swan!
he think maybe hes saying that everyone in the world is unbelievably arrogant..that they think they can solve anything..thinking they are always right and stand strong, but never want to see it how others might see it. and then finally their being stupid has them lose whatever they hold dear. eg: your kids, your wife/husband, your friends, maybe your job...thats just me..cuz i have had a recent experience..i was stupid and never wanted to listen to my wife and thinking she could never prove me wrong..and then eventually it turned out she was right and i fucked up and now i am alone and on my own with my kids and wife away from me..this song really motivates me to get my shit together. it should motivate anyone like this...awesome song story of the year!!!!! you rock my socks!!!! WAKE UP EVERYONE!!!
