Drawing inspiration from the popular saying, “Stay on top of your game”, this song is about dreaming of your future and all the possibilities that it holds. However, rather than being a beautiful fantasy, the main character of the song sees blurry hallucinations and can’t seem to wake up from their “dream”.
lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you want to find the key
Gotta set yourself free
Just stay on
Just stay on
Don’t know who I’m gonna be
Some may even disagree
But stay on
Just stay on
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been kicking myself for what’s wrong, woah
But my doubts have been stringing me along, along
[Chorus]
Mind’s getting blurry
It’s kinda scary
When I’m alone I close my eyes
Time multiples
And I feel alive
These chemicals in my mind
[Verse 2]
Waking up from this dream
Just to find it’s still a dream I’ll stay on
I’ll stay on
Thinking I have gone too deep
But I’ll take another hit
Just stay on
Just stay on
[Pre-Chorus]
Lost in my own head I don’t know how, how to get out
Feel myself slip in and out unbound, confound
[Chorus]
Mind’s getting blurry
It’s kinda scary
When I’m alone I close my eyes
Time multiples
And I feel alive
These chemicals in my mind
[Bridge]
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up, gotta wake up (x3)
[Chorus]
Mind’s getting blurry
It’s kinda scary
When I’m alone I close my eyes
Time multiples
And I feel alive
These chemicals in my mind
[Outro]
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up, gotta wake up (Just stay on)
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up, gotta wake up (Woah)
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up, gotta wake up (Just stay on)
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up, gotta wake up (Woah)
