What is Wide Awake about?
🎶 Wide Awake song analysis
This song is about a woman who recently went through a difficult experience in a relationship. She was in the dark, daydreaming her heart out, but eventually realized that not everything she saw was what it seemed. She is now wide awake and has picked up all the pieces, having learned a lot from the experience. She is letting go of the relationship and is no longer blind to the truth. She is falling off her cloud, crashing and letting go tonight.
