I'm AWAKE! I'm AWAKE!

Evanescence - Wake Me Up Inside

This song is on my workout play list.  For just the last couple of workouts this song makes me cry every time it plays.  Considering it is third in a playlist of 19 on my current workout CD - that can be pretty debilitating or quite the struggle to move through very early on in a workout. =)


WAKE ME UP INSIDE. 

This has been part of my workout routine since the first day.  I would sing along with this song during the first few days of being on that treadmill and gasping and crying after 10 - 12 minutes when I first started. 

CALL MY NAME AND SAVE ME FROM THE DARK.

When I started this song was like a dedication from the inside me to the outside me.  The real me way deep down.  It was my responsibility to wake me up inside - and pull out the girl that is down under.. down inside all of this flesh.


I'VE BEEN SLEEPING FOR A THOUSAND YEARS IT SEEMS.  
I'VE GOT TO OPEN MY EYES TO EVERYTHING. 

BRING ME TO LIFE.

Well I have heard the wake up call.  Right as this song was playing during my workout I decided.. I am going to complete my first 5k on the treadmill!  So I did! =)

This makes me an official athlete right? =)

My time was 60:33.  Being this is only the second time I have attempted to complete it, I am SOOOOOOOO GLAD that I just finished.  I assure you, it wasn't pretty at times.  There were some moments of cussing and moments I swore I was gonna give up - but once I got half way through I figured I would have to get this far again to be half way done - so why not just finish it now.

When I started on April 10th, I could only do 30-minute miles and no way I could have done 3.1 of them in the same session without stopping. =)

Having accomplished this, I feel that this is a perfect time to retire this song.

I am AWAKE!


Thank you Evanescence for this song that helped ME do exactly exactly that.. Wake Me Up Inside. =)


Evanescence - Wake Me Up Inside

How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Lading you down into my core,
Where I've become so numb.

Without a soul,
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold,
Until you find it there and lead it back
Home.

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside.
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run.
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone.
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Now that I know what I'm without,
You can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real.
Bring me to life.

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside.
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run.
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone.
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Bring me to life.
(I've been living a lie.
There's nothing inside)
Bring me to life.

Frozen inside without your touch,
Without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead.

(All of this sight,
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me)
I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.
(Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul
Don't let me die here.
There must be something more).
Bring me to life.

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside.
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run.
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone.
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Bring me to life.
(I've been living a lie. There's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

=)
