In an era dominated by digital escapism and virtual connections, Bastille's lyrics delve into the allure of alternate realities as a refuge from the anxieties of modern life. The song explores themes of disillusionment with the tangible world, where "lucid dreams" and "cyber love" offer solace and excitement. The repeated plea to "stop the world" underscores a desire to disconnect from overwhelming societal pressures. By juxtaposing passionate desires with artificial experiences, the band highlights a generational shift towards valuing virtual validation over physical authenticity. Ultimately, the lyrics question why one would choose reality when dreams and digital realms provide a more thrilling escape.
Stay Awake?
Lyrics
Stop the world, I want to get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Give me the future
Give me confidence
Give me
Cyber love in an anxious age
Lord above, need to get me laid
Had a taste of euphoria
Who could blame me for wanting more?
Just give me passion, give me violence, give me confidence
Give me something new to feel (uh)
Now us freaks and geeks can rule the world, have everything
Doesn't matter if it's real
In my head, in my head, I escape with you
When my dreams run away, run away with you
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Share our souls on the internet
Total recall, all the dumb regrets
Breaking hearts in a brand new way
Same old humans making new mistakes
Just give me passion, give me violence, give me confidence
Give me something new to feel (give me something new to feel)
And now us freaks and geeks can rule the world, have everything
Doesn't matter if it's real
In my head, in my head, I escape with you
When my dreams run away, run away with you
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake, stay awake?
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Can't get enough
In my head, in my head, I escape with you
Let my dreams run away, run away with you
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake, stay awake?
