Don't Wake Me When It's Over

-

     The song was released in 2021 with Lifehouse's Smoke and Mirrors album, but wasn't actually on the CD. I kind of wish it were though, because it's so good.

    I don't particularly want to go into detail about the meaning of the song, but I think it has to do with having a lot on one's mind and in the world, and the search for peace. The music is amazing, and the lyrics are even better, which makes this one of my favorite songs.


One, two, three, four

There's so much more than time in the life we live
We've so much more to love than we care to give
You say a hard rain's gonna fall, but I'm not afraid.

I'm floating in my mind
As the world gets colder
Frozen, like a star
Don't wake me when it's over
Breakdown all around
The world is off my shoulder
I'm falling with the tide
Don't wake me when it's over now

Silence is the only sound that I wanna hear
In the space where we are now everything is clear
They say that trouble's on the way, but I'm not afraid.

I'm floating in my mind
As the world gets colder
Frozen, like a star
Don't wake me when it's over
Breakdown all around
The world is off my shoulder
I'm falling with the tide
Don't wake me when it's over now

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

I'm floating in my mind
As the world gets colder
Frozen, like a star
Don't wake me when it's over
Running out of time as the sun gets closer
Fading far behind, yesterday grows older
Breakdown all around
The world is off my shoulder
I'm falling with the tide
Don't wake me when it's over now

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Crash and Burn

     Crash and Burn  was released on the bonus disk of the Smoke and Mirrors album, Lifehouse's fifth album.      There are a few different speculations on the meaning of the song, but I believe the most popular, which is that the protagonist is struggling, knowing he's not who he could and should be, and his attempt to change himself for the better. Either way, the song is amazing, with awesome lyrics and great sound. All these nights are catching up to me I just can't put insomnia to sleep I close my eyes but all that I can see Is someone who I'm never gonna be I hope that you can bring me back I gotta make it right And if I fall and crash and burn At least we both know that I tried And as I crawl there's lessons learned Yeah they remind me I survived Yeah yeah yeah Silence just keeps screaming back at me The ones I love are lost in memories And I wish that I could take back what was done You can only change the person you become I have to try and fi...

Midnight in Philadelphia

     Midnight in Philadelphia is one of those Lifehouse songs that has a vague name, like Simon, and Better Luck Next Time. It was released in 2005, but not as a part of any albums. There are different opinions on what the song is about. Some people think it's about God, but some of the lyrics suggest otherwise. Others think it's still about lead singer Jason Wade's father leaving his family when they divorced, but I personally think it's about a death. You hear lyrics I know that you are watching me somewhere over the moon shouting down that you love me wondering why I can't hear you.     Either way, Midnight in Philadelphia is a quiet and beautiful song with deep lyrics. Lifehouse as a band was known for their deep and thought-provoking lyrics, which they have in every one of their songs. That's what makes them such a great band. I know what it's like to hide To sit in your room and break down and cry And all I could say was your name I've had my sha...
