It took many years for me to wake up & realize that some people aren't meant to stay in your life, they are just passing through to teach you lessons. When people show you who they really are, believe them the first time.
A couple of times I got the sense of who this person was but didn't want to believe it until tonight. He was showing me who he was and I chose not to believe him. I understand now that I should have believed him the first time, especially with people he calls friends. It was a painful lesson to learn but I thank God for waking me up and showing me who this man really is.
The "i wish i knew then, what i know now" line always hits me hard because thats exactly how life is. We all wish we could go back and do things differently and do them right
Thunder RUMBLING, Castles CRUMBLING, I am Trying to HOLD ON, GOD Knows that I've TRIED, SEEING the BRIGHT side, But I'm NOT BLIND anymore..... I'm wide awake.
This song really hits home. As someone with several mental disorders when you finally “ wake “ up it can scare you. You see the world for the first time after wasting an entire childhood, high school memories etc. love you Katy ♥️♥️

Thank you Katy Perry, this song is what gave me the realization that I was going nowhere in my life. I than found the strength to quit being a junkie, get my life together, and be there for my kid and family. I realized I needed start a business being an artist, so I did. Now my life is great, this song will always be my guiding light reminding me which way to go in life.
Watching this after re-watching the Katy Perry Part of Me movie. The part where she can't stop crying because her relationship with Russell was ending always gets me. This song is about him, right?
No, it means the end of the Teenage Dream era and therefore adolescence as a life period. “Falling form cloud nine” refers to the real world we experience after we become adults. The reference to her as a girl, the labyrinth as the struggles in her life (Russel divorce, conflicts with her Christian parents), etc. At the end, she gives little Katy a butterfly, meaning that Teenage Dream will always be her essence.
I cry because she talks about getting abused in her Celebrity life and then one day she woke up, realizing that thugs were taking advantage of her. That's what this song is saying
I keep finding myself so nostalgic that it brings me to tears. Katy’s Teenage Dream album made my childhood. Listening to her music is so bittersweet. It reminds me of the good old day when life wasn’t to difficult. *just imagine crying to California Gurls*💀
Just when I had my first hardest break up in my life, this song came out and I felt everything about she tells on the song.. Now, this song makes me feel stronger, because I know that love never last forever but it is de most beautiful feeling when it is real...
Same. I never understood it before but now I can relate to the lyrics so much. I wish I could find my ex now and tell him all the songs I have been listening to so he knows exactly how I feel... Love this song x
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 dreaming for so long 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 Falling from cloud nine Crashing from the high I'm letting go tonight Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine 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 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 Falling from cloud nine (It was out of the blue, I'm) Crashing from the high I'm letting go tonight (Yeah, I'm letting you go, I'm) I'm falling from cloud nine (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 Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine (It was out of the blue, I'm) Crashing from the high You know, I'm letting go tonight (Yeah, I'm letting you go, I'm) I'm falling from cloud nine I'm wide awake I'm wide awake I'm wide awake I'm wide awake I'm wide awake
Man this is now 10 years old time flies so fast this is so nostalgic 2010s songs are so better than songs now I wanna go back in time and relive it again I miss my childhood man such great memories
I came back here because of Lady K. who moved me and killed it on AI audition. But it also makes me appreciate this song and Katy P even more now. Why wasn’t this song a bigger hit than it was, or was it? I’ll put this song on my current playlist now!
Lol. This song was a big hit! It was played everywhere in Summer 2012. It peaked at #2 on Billboard Hot 100 and has sold 7 million copies in just the U.S. alone.
It is 2018, Wide Awake is still one of my most favorite songs♡ Also I'm a bit lonely because it seems like I'm the only 2018 person in the sea of comments😭
this. this gave me the nostalgia of me when I was a kid, just being all naive and do things that I just like to do. this remind me of times where I'd listen to this and like; not worry about anything. I wish I can just go back to the time where I know nothing instead of knowing something. because knowing something makes me feel somewhat depressed.
Wide Awake is one of my favorite songs by Katy Perry, this lyric video makes me remember each song I got addicted to, and a specific time back in 2010-2012
I wanna cry watching this. It Was amazing to all the katycats that have the opportunity to spend this era together. im so glad of her. love her til now
Rachel g. Yes like more song best singer Katy Perry video and who sing this song on glee was Blaine sing teenage dream beat poplar music and another video least Friday night ( t.G.l.f) see video Blaine and Artie

Precisely
Yep. This hurts a lot but truth hurts. We’ll be fine folks. Keep your heads up
That’s what it is!
"Falling from cloud 9"
The feeling of sudden grief over someone you still love after remembering that they're done with you.
I was reading this comment as I listened to "Gravity hurts, you made it so sweet, Till I woke on, On the concrete." 😁🔥
Same here I was head over hills in love with this women then she dumped me
"God knows that I tried seeing the bright side, but I'm not blind amymore. I'm wide awake."
cut the the but im not blind anymore and the im wide awake = god knows that i tried seeing the bright side= last friday night (lil sexual)
This song is deep really deep
Voy
Floating. Zero point

When the video says "2010" and now were at 2020. Nostalgia
right
This is from 2012 tho
@@elinanishimwe7083 Her career began in 2010. You can see by the first tweet from her in this lyric video
it’s scary
now 2021, to the people reading this in the year 2090, hello.

Better than Glee
This song helped me through so many hard times, and it still does now. Thank you, Katy. This is a powerful song
Break ups suck, but the sunlight will come back out.
Eva Flynn this was about her struggle with depression
Joey King No it isn’t. She said she write the song after her ex husband Russell brand, broke up with her over text.

Early 2013 also had a few good songs. Other than that, I agree with you.
No, I'm not wide awake. It's 2 in the morning. Im half asleep.
'I'm Half Asleep' would be a great name for a parody song, lol.
Greencastles23 genius!!
Greencastles23 gg im making that as a minecraft parody. :D
Good one Kyle! :3
Kyle Broflovski She is saying she is wide awake not you.
This song just gives me chills
This is one of the songs, that I murmur out of the blue. It has a special place in my heart.

Congratulations 🍾
Congratulations 🎉 live your best life!
This song makes me cry everytime 😭 nostalgia
It seems that this sound will never get old it will always exist around those who listen and feel its past and the song
Katy Perry is at her prime during the late 2000s and early 2010s. This song is nostalgic too!
I've liked this song for a long time, this girl got good songs.
We have a love 💝 ❤️🦄💝❤️🦄💝❤️🦄💝❤️🦄💝❤️🦄💝❤️🦄💝❤️🦄💝❤️🦄
2:43 "Happy 1 year to Teenage Dream! We made history..." It's been 10 years since this iconic masterpiece and that phrase couldn't be more true
This song is my motivation for late night revision
This song makes me cry and sleep
A perfect single to end the era ✨
Reminds me of my old school days. 😓
Katy Perry rules!!!!!!!!
Your profile photo for RUclips is so cute! I love cats so much like Katy! Katy loves cats!!!!
@ Bella Dooley
Thanks! I love cats too :3
Makayla Aguero I can't remember why I said that because it's a dragon but it was properly a cat then!! But I don't like dragons that much.

Miss the years when KP's songs hits😭
Not a fan of Katy Perry nor a hater. I haven't listened to her for so long. Btw this song is my fav one by Katy Perry
what about now?
Why do you have to start your comment with "Not a fan nor a hater". Sounds irrelevant lol
Yep! My fave next to ET!
Yeah probably my fave Katy song
i rlly miss this song i remember this so well OMG i feel so old
I keep finding myself so nostalgic that it brings me to tears. Katy’s Teenage Dream album made my childhood. Listening to her music is so bittersweet. It reminds me of the good old day when life wasn’t to difficult.
*just imagine crying to California Gurls*💀
right? so I’m not the only one with tears while listening to this song.
It took me 12 years to actually listen to this song with it's deep meaning
Just when I had my first hardest break up in my life, this song came out and I felt everything about she tells on the song..

Me too men i actually listen this song for the same reason
I'd love if Facebook went back to this concept
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 dreaming for so long
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
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine
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
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
Falling from cloud nine (It was out of the blue, I'm)
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight (Yeah, I'm letting you go, I'm)
I'm falling from cloud nine (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
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine (It was out of the blue, I'm)
Crashing from the high
You know, I'm letting go tonight (Yeah, I'm letting you go, I'm)
I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
