Wake Up

Terrian's song "Wake Up" is a powerful anthem about breaking free from the chains of complacency and fear. The lyrics delve into the internal struggle of being addicted to comfort and the realization that this comfort is an illusion. The opening lines, "I made a deal with fear / You keep me warm I’ll stay here," set the stage for a narrative about the false security that fear provides. This fear leads to a state of apathy and stagnation, which the artist acknowledges as a silent killer. The song's raw honesty about loving the way complacency feels, despite knowing its detrimental effects, resonates deeply with anyone who has ever felt stuck in their comfort zone.

The chorus is a heartfelt plea for divine intervention: "Help me lord I need to wake up / Put that fire under my feet." This line captures the essence of the song—a desperate need for a wake-up call to break free from the cycle of settling and wasting time. The repetition of the word "wake up" serves as a mantra, emphasizing the urgency of the message. Terrian's request for God to set her free highlights the spiritual dimension of the struggle, suggesting that true liberation from apathy requires divine assistance.

In the latter part of the song, Terrian reflects on her own responsibility in her stagnation, admitting, "I’ve been waiting on God but He been waiting on me." This self-awareness is crucial, as it shifts the focus from external factors to internal accountability. The song concludes with a hopeful note, encouraging listeners to take it "one step at a time" but to first wake up. The upbeat and motivational tone of the final lines, "Rise and shine give me that high five, high five / God with you it’s gonna be alright," leaves the listener with a sense of optimism and empowerment, ready to face the challenges ahead.
