The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Wake Up Alone" by the artist "Tungevaag And Raaban"

In the song "Wake Up Alone," Tungevaag And Raaban depict the complex emotions of a person grappling with loneliness, obsessive pursuit of a dream, and the fleeting nature of time.

The protagonist feels lost and isolated ("I go to the phone, I don't know who to call"). They are consumed by a goal, which devours them entirely ("They say it's just a phase, but they don't understand, I'm holding on to something, I can't seem to hold in my hand").

Despite the hardships, the protagonist finds pleasure in chasing this dream, even if it brings pain and solitude ("Ooh, but I like it"). They acknowledge struggling with these feelings but ultimately embrace their true nature ("Ooh, I try to fight it. Ooh, no, no, that's just me").

Temporary solace is found in an illusionary relationship, compared to a vivid dream ("Under fresh sheets, the hands I love to touch, are on me tonight. I fall asleep, and you're my vivid dream"). However, the reality of loneliness returns every morning ("But you're not for real, you're make believe. Sometimes I wake up alone").

The recurring phrase "In the middle of the night" emphasizes the feeling of emptiness and loneliness that engulfs the protagonist when illusions fade. They are left alone with their thoughts and emotions.
