Audioslave - Wide Awake Lyrics
You can a look a hurricane right in the eye.
1200 people dead or left to die.
Follow the leaders, were it an eye for an eye we'd all be blind.
Deaf or murdered, and this I'm sure in this uncertain time.
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today.
I found you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake.
Down on the road the world is floating by.
The poor and undefended left behind.
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil,
As if the whole world were blind, hey.
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today.
I found you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake.
Come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I found you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake!

Audioslave Wide Awake Comments
Damn , thought I had heard everything Chris wrote...
LOVE THIS !!!!!
Guilty of a crime..! Throw the shit over my eyes, so I shan't see the Lie's!!!!
Oh did anyone forget to mention that this song kicks ass LOL!
It's so sad to discover yet one more great song after you have left, RIP Chris.
Chris Cornell is basically John wick for musician vocalists
Wide. A wake. Trumpets sound. Goodnight.
The Great Awakening
the most underrated song of this band
Buta que te extraño ctm!!!
cada ser humano de este planeta debería escuchar esta canción y despertar de tanta mentira
this is the best Audioslave song for me. #1
Really underrated audioslave song.
Besides Shinedown and avenged sevenfold there is only Chris Cornell to listen to this day and age
Strahota
chris cornell quria da o utemo beijo da morte
RIP I'll always Love you and your amazing voice!!!!!
RIP Chris. You wrote this song in 2006 and as of 2019, we're still asleep and falling into a coma
Almost Brain Dead!!! 😠
The Great Awakening is near more what do you think.... Don't lose your faith
I have loved this song for many years. Such a bold statement. We lost a brilliant, gifted man when Chris left this world
Одна из лучших песен группы. Если трактовать шире, не привязывая к событию (урагану), в мире правящего капитала её актуальность неизменна.
One of the best songs of the band. If interpreted it broader, not tying to the event (the hurricane), its relevance unchanged, in the world of ruling capital.
Miami Vice -2006-
You made it even better. Thanks Chris!
I will never forget you.
RiP

no one screams like you anymore
917 Fitzhugh in the back black laquer door Old east Dallas you are late love do u even know they are trying to seal you out_/ me in here. OOT of you want me to tie IT off just say so and ill be omw but IT would be in better favor on all sides of you were to make a personal appearance personally and privately briefly and quickly as you are late and IT digs the knife deeper and the squeeze is bareable but being slowly estinguished into whatever landfill this is has become more disheartening than any life death or nothing and dramagine or recollect. Quality of life still carries Weight, but in regard to life death or absolute nothing I have no preference to my own or anothers. I promise not to need or want or require anything and I promise not to cause a bind or waste your time or mine. If I dont see you soon please remeber yo recieve me should I come near in passing. I love you. ~♤♡♤~sdr 917 fitzhugh at gaston intersect in the back black laquer door please do not fuck ground and goh.
Temón ...tira una sabana sobre mis ojos, para que pueda dormir esta noche, despues de lo que e visto este dia
Que buen tema !!! 😎🤘
Possibly one of the most important songs of our lifetime guys. We should all listen the fuck to this shit man!!
An Oath to voting
Miami vice
2019???
" I found you gulity of a crime, of sleeping ON THE JOB.
When you should have been WIDE AWAKE"
Real music !! That' all
LOL I was woken up by this song having my iPad play continuously. Such a Beautiful Song and my love for Chris Cornell is never ending. R.I.P. DEAR MAN ❤️
This song is so good it borderline ridiculous
lo maximo......
Miami Vice 2? RIP Chris Cornell
Audioslave is a great band everyone knows that but those lyrics they hit you hard, right in your face! You might be from any country, any continent but those lyrics are still gonna have the same meaning and relevance to anyone across this world. RIP Chris. Now I know what a talent this world lost!
2019
Que buen tema la remil puta karajo !!!
D de ieves
Perfeita
Ugh all this attention after head died pisses me off. He kicked ass here
Sadly that is the way it is with most great artists. Audioslave was a great band that I hoped to see more from.
Only ode to Hurricane Katrina victims I know of and it's a hard ass song in every sense
The big bass! Desde Argentina lml
simply great
I never thought Grunge was a good name for it. I think some journalist coined it. To me it seems like the last great generation of RocknRoll. The new bands since 2000s just don't seem as good as the last 50 years.
MagicMarker447 You are most definitely right, Chris Cornell was one of the last true Rock voices we had, sadly enough.. To be honest, I can't name even 5 Great Rock songs since the 90s.. Just a few good ones at best.. Just like a stone is one of the best songs ever..
Audioslave para sempre
Valeu ok
hey guys listen this new song from Unicircle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21vWJ7dRjVc
How can 375 ppl give this a thumbs down !?!? Hearing Chris giving his all at the end !!! What a Voice What a LEGEND feel privileged to have seen you live !!! No one sings like you anymore rip xxx
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOjcKv62tn4
Desta vida não levamos. Nada
How relevant are these lyrics in 2019? People need to wake up to what's still happening in our governments and the time of deception we live in
Deep artist always singing to real deep human stuff...
como me pone la piel de gallina este tema, una obra de arte !!!
Obligatory for me to state that this is one of their most underrated songs. I really connected to it in a new way with his Songbook and solo acoustic performances.
Audioslave forever!!!😎🤘
This song makes me alive.
Never forget the greatest vocalist in rock music
Are there brazilian here???
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 2019 y sigues en my head ❤️ 4ever
Love Him and his tragically Lyrics from his broken heart 💔. Sadly missed!!
Still rings true of our government today.
que temon!!!!
So i can sleep tonight RIP chris cornell
I’m getting close to mastering nervousness
This song is not directed at anyone else, but himself. Those lyrics speak of the self derision of a man who feels helpless about the suffering in the world, and all the while is repulsed by his complacency when wanting to sleep and forget about such suffering. It's OK Chris. It's not on you or anyone to rid the world of evil. Just do what you can for those around you. Rest easy.
¡Hey! pls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_erUirOC0lk take a look ! in this song!
I just thought of this the other day but I forgot I started smoking cigarettes because I wanted my voice to sound like Chris cornells
Great voice...great song...great man sexy ever exist ....so missed....unbelievable hes not longer with us😔
Te fuiste muy pronto Chris.! Aún había más de ti para escuchar.!!
3:55 salute!
Love this track. I prefer the acoustic version though. RIP ROCKGOD🤘
One of the best song by chris and the band
one of the best songs of Audioslave
Lyrics
You can look a hurricane right in the eye
Twelve hundred people dead or left to die
Follow the leaders
Were it an eye for an eye
We'd all be blind, deaf or murdered
This I'm sure
In this uncertain time
So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of the crime
Of sleeping (at a) time when you should have been wide awake
Down on the road the world is floating by
The poor and undefended left behind
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil
As if the whole world were blind
So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I've found you guilty of the crime
Of sleeping (at a) time
When you should have been wide awake
Come pull this sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen
I found you guilty of the crime
Of sleeping in a time
When you should have been wide awake
Wide Awake
Wide Awake
Wide Awake
Wide Awake
Awake
This is a masterpiece
Till now, I still don't believe he suicided himself…NO!!! IT CAN'T BE!!!
🤘🤘🤘
I used to sleep in the car but my sleepiness didn’t start til later in life just so happens they have an album revelations
Or it’s about me and 911
This is me going on a serious limb here but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. It’s possible a clone of me wrote this song talking about himself and Chris was chosen to perform it in public or it could have always been passed through technology
Achei a música que não saía da minha cabeça!
Vim de novo porque ainda não saía da minha cabeça.
Lyrics
You can look a hurricane
Right in the eye
1200 people dead
Or left to die
Follow the leaders,
We're in an eye for an eye,
We'll all be blind
Death for murder,
This I'm sure in this
Uncertain time
So come and pull the
Sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been
Wide awake
Down on the road the
World is floating by
The poor and undefended
Left behind
While you're somewhere
Trading lives for oil
As if the whole world
Were blind,
Hey
So come and pull the
Sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been
Wide awake
So come and pull the
Sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
"Hola chico"/"Hola chica"
This song gave so much meaning. His music did inspire and in my life personally made so much sense. God forgive him and help him make it to the light
Por qué de pronto me siento tan melancólico :'v
Nois aqui o 2018 /09/24
E nois nessa porra!!!
Os bons vão cedo de mais......🙌
Uma ArTe! De oBra-prima!
Nothing ever hurt so much
The last real Rock n' Roll band in the world has gone!
no there's more man. you just gotta look harder. ever heard of the Black keys? great band. if you haven't check them out
@03underground Oh, Yeah!! The Black Keys!!! Great band!!! You're right!!!
this song was about hurricane Katrina and how people were not rescued in time and died.
Audioslave: de lo bueno, poco. Una gran banda. RIP Chris Cornell. Extraño audioslave.
living in SWFL an going through the algae bloom crisis thats killing countless marine life at the moment, the words "I find you guilty of a crime of sleeping in at a time when you should have been wide awake" fits dam well, as this issue is self inflicted.
This was off Revelations not Out of Exile
why doesn't any one talk about the content of the song? I think thats what he would want I think.... he wrote the song for a reason
Northern Iraq southern Syria.....1200+ dead what is a mass grave?.....
I won't be silenced
Me, scream-whispering while listening to this song.
RIP Chris you will be missed
If anyone is b3ing tortured I would say do whatever it takes to end it and set them free into the public domain
