Wake Up Dead Lyrics

I sneak in my own house
It's four in the morning
I had too much to drink
Said I was out with the boys
I creep in my bedroom
I slip into bed,
I know if I wake her,
I'll wake up dead

Chorus
I wonder, will she find out,
About the other, other lover.
Diana.

Wake up dead, you die
Wake up dead, and buried.
Wake up dead, you die
Wake up dead.

i think everyone is missing the real point of this song...diana is....wait. nope. no deep meaning to read too much into. about a guy who is cheating and is sneaking in hoping he wont be killed in his sleep.

Direct and to the point. Its about cheating on your wife, and the process of sneaking in, and thoughts running through their head as their doing it.

the distortion is like a rusty saw. great

Its not the lryics that make this song so great, its the 8 different riffs crammed into a 4 minute song which makes this fucking awsome. Dam Mustaine can right some killer riffs.

An error occured.

This song, as defined on Wikipedia, is about someone sneaking into his own house after seeing his other lover, and if his first lover finds out, she'll kill him in his sleep.

My Interpretation

Hah, the literal terms of what happens when you sneak out without telling your girlfriend/wife where you went.

An error occured.

actually it's about someone Mustaine knew who had a mistress... and he used the excuse that he was just "out with the boys" when he was really out with her. If she finds out she'll kill him.
