Coheed And Cambria - Wake Up Lyrics Meaning

The beautiful thing about music is that it is open to interpretation. a song is written to relate to its audience and make them feel something. It is up to the listener what they feel. now, I have never read the comic that goes along with Coheed & Cambria, but I do love this song because I feel like I can relate to the words and feel what I think they are feeling.

my own interpretation is that he has to leave for whatever reason, but he doesn't want to. He would rather stay, but she feels that the best thing for him to do is to go. who knows why - maybe she is afraid something might happen if he stays or maybe she just wants him to go live his dreams. He loves her and wants her to know that even though he is leaving he loves her. He will do anything and everything for her. and he will do everything he can to make it back to her arms. "keep yourself intact" I think refers to the fact that he doesn't want her to go crazy missing him and he wants her to keep living her life. but he will come back soon and it will be a new day where they can start out fresh and they will be like they always were, completely enveloped in their love for each other. No matter what happens he will always love her.

Now, this is what I see when I hear this song. I have a few biases but I still love it. I think it is important that we realize that different songs mean different things to different people at different times in their lives. So don't tell me that what I think is wrong because this song is actually based on happenings in a comic book. even if it is the writer may have meant for it to mean something more to his listeners than just a comic book reference.
