Separator Lyrics

It's like I'm fallen out of bed
From a long, weary dream
The sweetest flowers and fruits are hanging from trees
Falling off the giant bird that's been carrying me
It's like I've fallen out of bed
From a long and vivid dream
Just exactly as I remember
Every word
Every gesture

And my heart, in my mouth
Like I'm fallen out of bed
From a long and vivid dream
Finally I'm free of all the weight I've been carrying

And as that woman blows her cover
In the eye of the beholder
I'm a fish now out of water
Falling off a giant bird that's been carrying me

I fell open
I laid under
At the tip out
I was just your number
I want stay on it
And get back under

And if you think this is over
Then you're wrong
If you think this is over
Then you're wrong
If you think this is over
Then you're wrong

(Wake me up, wake me up)
If you think this is over
Then you're wrong
(Wake me up, wake me up)
Like I'm fallen out of bed
From a long and vivid dream
Finally I'm free of all the weight I've been carrying

When at last you'll give in
When at last you'll give in

Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up

What is the Meaning of Separator?

Delving into a surreal dreamscape, this track explores the themes of liberation and awakening. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of being trapped in an extended dream, weighed down by some unspecified burden. The protagonist feels like he's been dropped from a giant bird, symbolizing an abrupt end to his illusions or burdens. However, the recurring phrase "If you think this is over then you're wrong" hints at the cyclical nature of life's struggles. Furthermore, the frequent pleas to "Wake me up," indicate a longing for consciousness or reality despite its challenges. Ultimately, it's about finding freedom through self-awareness and confronting one's issues rather than escaping them in dreams.
