    Lyrics:
    I’m wide awake
    I’m wide awake
    I’m wide awake
    Yeah, I was in the dark
    I was falling hard
    With an open heart
    I’m wide awake
    How did I read the stars so wrong
    I’m wide awake
    And now it’s clear to me
    That everything you see
    Ain’t always what it seems
    I’m wide awake
    Yeah, I was dreamin’ for so long
    (Pre-Chorus)
    I wish I knew then
    What I know now
    Wouldn’t dive in
    Wouldn’t bow down
    Gravity hurts
    You made it so sweet
    ‘Til I woke up on
    On the concrete
    (Chorus)
    Fallin’ from cloud 9
    Crashin’ from the high
    I’m lettin’ go tonight
    Yeah I’m fallin’ from cloud 9
    I’m wide awake
    Not losing any sleep
    I picked up every piece
    And landed on my feet
    I’m wide awake
    Need nothing to complete myself, no
    I’m wide awake
    Yeah, I am born again
    Out of the lion’s den
    I don’t have to pretend
    And it’s too late
    The story’s over now, the end
    (Pre-Chorus)
    I wish I knew then
    What I know now
    Wouldn’t dive in
    Wouldn’t bow down
    Gravity hurts
    You made it so sweet
    ‘Til I woke up on
    On the concrete
    (Chorus)
    Fallin’ from cloud 9
    (It was outta the blue, I’m)
    Crashin’ from the high
    I’m lettin’ go tonight
    (Yeah, I’m lettin’ you go, I’m)
    I’m fallin’ from cloud 9
    (Bridge)
    I’m wide awake
    Thunder rumbling
    Castles crumbling
    I’m wide awake
    I am trying to hold on
    I’m wide awake
    God knows that I tried
    Seeing the bright side
    I’m wide awake
    I’m not blind anymore
    I’m wide awake
    I’m wide awake
    (Chorus)
    Yeah I’m fallin’ from cloud 9
    (It was outta the blue, I’m)
    Crashin’ from the high
    You know I’m letting go tonight
    (Yeah, I’m lettin’ you go, I’m)
    I’m fallin’ from cloud 9
    I’m wide awake
    I’m wide awake
    I’m wide awake
    I’m wide awake
    I’m wide awake

    No Katy herself has said this is about her husband telling her that he wanted a divorce via text right before her show. Didn't u guys notice the Prince had his fingers crossed behind his back before she punched him? The little girl represents her inner child healing and the Butterfly is her overcoming everything and starting anew with wonderful beginnings. Listen to the lyrics it talks about everything. Beautiful Song!

    Watched this when I was about 7 years old. Barely understood the concept, I just loved how pretty her purple hair looked and all the butterflies and visuals. Now I’m 18 years old, listening to this again, and finally understanding what this song meant. Cherish your childhood while you can, seriously. 🦋💜

      I had a similar experience watching this music video on repeat in 5th grade 😂 and I thought I just loved the visuals too, but I’m realizing now, at 22 that for me it’s about healing and getting in touch with your inner child who is so resilient and waiting for you to let her be herself again and save you from the pain that was conditioned into you growing up,, so you can finally take care of her too and let her shine again ❤️

    • @bbwohlf871
      @bbwohlf871 3 년 전 +377

      She had to revisit her childhood to face her past and demons. That’s what she was releasing, as she has now healed by facing it. The entire video is a representation of the trauma she’s faced through men, media, etc... showing how she’s been weak and stumbled along the way, but is finally okay.

    This video is so powerful. The end when she was sitting in the peppermint outfit was right after her [then] husband told her he wanted a divorce over TEXT, RIGHT before a show she was about to perform. To me this video was about her inner child, or something deep within herself giving herself the strength to put on that show. So powerful, I’ll always love you Katy!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    *For those who didn't understand, this is a wonderful metaphor of our identity that we keep searching without realizing that it remains in the past that we've built and the person we were and will always be: always look behind to see the path you've accomplished. After being dumped, she suffered a lot and was lost. At the end she finds her true identity by reuniting with herself meaning that as long as you are in peace with who you are, you are the strongest person ever created. Believe in yourself and who you are. Thank you Katy* ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜

    "Wide Awake" by Katy Perry is a compelling song that delves into themes of self-discovery, resilience, and empowerment. The lyrics depict Perry's journey of awakening to the realities of life and finding strength in overcoming obstacles and challenges.
    Throughout the song, Perry reflects on her experiences and the lessons she has learned, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself and remaining resilient in the face of adversity. The metaphor of being "wide awake" signifies a newfound awareness and clarity, as Perry navigates through the highs and lows of her journey.

      Life is at best bittersweet. There are good times and bad times. Unfortunately for some, life is just bitter. As heartbreaking as it can be to look on a past time we miss, we can also be grateful we had those sweet moments in our life. You sound like a wonderful father. Keep smiling.

      Specialquotes Love There’s a documentary about Katy Perry and it shows a scene years ago right before one of her show, she received a text from her ex husband telling that he wanted to divorce, so she had to perform even when she felt like crying her eyes out, so this video is a direct reference to that moment, since she was wearing that exact same costume in the end

    You know that I just enjoyed this song way back in 2012 that I don't understand the meaning of the song, now, my best friend has passed away, I listened to this song again, and I finally understood.

      I'd be honored if some fans of Katy Perry's classic period (2008-2012) would give a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of WIDE AWAKE and TEENAGE DREAM on my YT channel in tribute to the queen. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
