Lucinda WilliamsAbout
According to Pitchfork, “Wakin’ Up” is a harrowing portrait of a woman escaping from—or dissociating during—an abusive relationship. Its visceral tug is carried by a vocal delivery like she’s spitting each word from under her tongue."
She also drops a f-bomb.
Wakin’ Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Doin' speedballs on the basement
'Til all my mind, I can erase it
That demon I hears, he had to chase it
I says he's clean, he's tryna brace it
But he's a bad man, he has to face it
'Til all my mind, I can erase it
[Chorus]
But I'm waking up from a bad dream
I'm shaking up, it was a bad scene
But I'm waking up from a bad dream
It shook me up, it was a bad scene
But I'm waking up, it shook me up
But I'm waking up, it fucked me up
But I'm waking up from a bad dream
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I threw a punch, somehow, I missed it
I should've split, thought I could fix it
He pulled the kitchen chair out from under me
He pulled my hair and then he pissed on me
Next thing, I swear, he wants a kiss on me
After all this, he wants a kiss on me
[Chorus]
But I'm waking up from a bad dream
I'm shaking up, it was a bad scene
But I'm waking up from a bad dream
It shook me up, it was a bad scene
But I'm waking up, it shook me up
But I'm waking up, it fucked me up
But I'm waking up from a bad dream
[Verse 3]
Yeah, doin' speedballs on the basement
'Til all my mind, I can erase it
That demon I hears, he had to chase it
I says he's clean, he's tryna brace it
But he's a bad man, he has to face it
'Til all my mind, I can erase it
[Chorus]
But I'm waking up from a bad dream
I'm shaking up, it was a bad scene
But I'm waking up from a bad dream
It shook me up, it was a bad scene
But I'm waking up, it shook me up
I'm waking up, it fucked me up
But I'm waking up from a bad dream
[Verse 4]
He threw a punch, somehow, I missed it
I should've split, thought I could fix it
He pulled the kitchen chair out from under me
He pulled my hair and then he pissed on me
Next thing, I swear, he wants a kiss on me
After all this, he wants a kiss on me
[Chorus]
But I'm waking up from a bad dream
I'm shaking up, it was a bad scene
But I'm waking up from a bad dream
It shook me up, it was a bad scene
But I'm waking up, it shook me up
But I'm waking up, it fucked me up
But I'm waking up, it shook me up
But I'm waking up, it fucked me up
But I'm waking up, it shook me up
But I'm waking up, it fucked me up
But I'm waking up from a bad dream
I'm waking up from a bad dream
I'm waking up from a bad dream
I'm waking up, I'm waking up
I'm waking up, I'm waking up
I'm waking up, I'm waking up
I'm waking up, I'm waking up
