Cover art for Quiet as a Mouse lyrics by Margot & the Nuclear So and So's

This song amazes me. It's great to crank up when driving alone in your car and sing the lyrics as loud as can. Especially all the "When I woke..." Incredibly catchy.

I'm not sure what it means, but it definitely stresses "waking up" a lot. Maybe realize something about yourself? Your current state of life, all the possibilities you're missing, or something? Because in the chorus it says that you need to wake up, because you're missing these things, time's going by and you aren't realizing it. Maybe you need to make the most of your life?

I dunno.
