Dangerkids - Waking Up Lyrics






Yeah, here I stand
Holding on to memories
A box full of everything you meant to me
And it opens up and I pull one out
And I slowly start to read
I know you're gone
And even though it hurts to see
I carry on like it doesn't mean a thing
But I know deep down inside I slowly bleed

Yeah, but here I stand against the odds
Against the fights and against the fall
Against the winds and against the grain
You take it all, just leave my name
Cause after this, it's not the same
I pull a match out and start the flame
I can't think of us and what we became
So I close my eyes and I look away

I see through you like a ghost
Behind my footsteps in shadows
When god knows this is as far as I can go
This place is bleeding me dry
I tried to make things right
Another sleepless night

When morning comes
I hope you're somewhere else
It's better than waking up
And lying to ourselves

You cut me down
And I cut you back
We are the same inside

With my back against the wall
Against the fact that I'll never fall
And you deal with that
When you cut me back, you cut me deep
And I'll never show, so you'll never see
That I carry your scars with me

When morning comes
I hope you're somewhere else
It's better than waking up
And lying to ourselves

It makes you reconsider everything

I wish I was empty
Wish I was someone else
I've changed so much, I don't know myself
My shadow, I've got you figured out
There's nowhere for you now
I see through you like a ghost

Dangerkids Waking Up Comments
  1. S.... N....

    Like the Linkin Park vibe !!

  2. L.... 0....

    no la escucho hace años y me sigue gustando!!!!!

  3. S.... 3....

    For most of the song it seems like it's about a failing relationship.
    But with the bridge, it's this revelation that it's more about their past self.

  4. b.... s....

    i love dangerkids

  5. B.... S....

    when 90% of the comments are in some way shape or form mentioning LP that should say something to the rest of the comments where people say they are not. Lets just get this straight. Obviously they are NOT LP, but there is clearly a similarity in the rappers of both groups its pretty obvious.

  6. B.... S....

    This is a bleed it out...... redone with a screamer

  7. M.... C....

    I get a feel of : hands like houses, from ashes to new etc feel

  8. A.... P....

    LINKIN PARK VIBES UWU

  9. T.... ....

    Can epilepsy be acquired from seeing flashing images? I feel like ias s adfjsajflksd jasdasjasllsdfa.sdf

  10. M.... ....

    These guys lyrics are like story of the year but the band sounds like Linkin park. Mixed with amity affliction. Best band ever. My newest band follower.

  11. R.... G....

    How can all you guys make memes and similarities to Linkin Park and not relate to the lyrics or any comment regarding the song overall.

  12. M.... M....

    I like the song. But I feel like the screaming is completely unnecessary and ruins the song. I only like screaming when it's needed, not just for the sake of screaming. That's what I love about bands like Linkin Park. They don't scream constantly, and they don't scream where it isn't needed.

    That being said, it's not a bad song.

  13. D.... O....

    DangerKids >>>> Linkin Park

  14. L.... ....

    These guys r awesome yasssss

  15. B.... S....

    LP and ADTR had a musical baby and this is the product

  16. A.... T....

    A.... T....

    Andrew Taylor there on octane now so they'll get big

    WAKING UP (WAKING UP INSIDE) NOT WAKING UP (WAKING UP INSIDE) SAVING MEEEEEEE

  19. m.... ....

    linkin park vibes instantly

    m.... ....

    I think that LP is a really big influence on these guys too!

    m.... ....

    They are. In one of their songs they mention LP actually in the lyrics.

  20. R.... C....

    More seizures needed. A lot more needed !

  21. M.... S....

    You really need to change your band Name!! To good for that band name! Fuckin rad guys addictive music

  22. M.... S....

    Amazingly addictive!

  23. M.... D....

    they're like the exact same thing as when Linkin park was good. I'm ok with that.

    M.... D....

    Right! Like a heavier- ish Linkin Park

  24. K.... ....

    so emo vibes

  25. 1.... ....

    not a lot of bands have albums were all the songs are good enough you listen to them and add to you playlist

  26. M.... M....

    i like it -best song- 😍

  27. G.... E....

    These guys deserve more views.Great songs

  28. T.... A....

    I wanna see them live so much]

  29. S.... ....

    Good music and whatnot, although all their songs are way too dense and also similar. Like when you oversauce a fabulous and tasty dish and get used to it.

    Also their songs are quite empty. Example of a song that isn't? Linkin Park's Shadow of the day.

    S.... ....

    agree. its good but not memorable

  30. D.... ....

    0:55 - 1:10 OP

  31. L.... ....

    seeing them w ghost town next month SO EXCITED BC I NOW LPVE THEM

  32. J.... K....

    Huh, sounds a bit like a cross between Linkin Park and Oh, Sleeper.

    J.... K....

    +Jade Kaiser Quite accurate I might add.

    J.... K....

    +Michael Kelton very i might add

  33. s.... r....

    excelente banda  ojala no pierdan el estilo con otros discos nuevos el rap todo es muy bueno

  34. E.... C....

    their best song.
    but only o e album. 😩

    E.... C....

    an album is upcoming at the end of this year i think

    E.... C....

    They are about to drop it! check their website!

    E.... C....

    Baconator Coates fr!! What's their website? Is it in the description?

    E.... C....

    Jacob Lopez "wearedangerkids.com"

  35. R.... C....

    these guys are amazing live!! they are so sweet and nice

  36. R.... C....

    these guys are amazing live!! they are so sweet and nice

  37. -.... D....

    Yeah, here I stand
    Holding on to memories
    A box full of everything you meant to me
    And it opens up and I pull one out
    And I slowly start to read
    I know you're gone
    And even though it hurts to see
    I carry on like it doesn't mean a thing
    But I know deep down inside I slowly bleed

  38. U.... R....

    We know it's not Linkin Park, but the rap that is similar to that of Mike Shinoda / Ya Sabemos que no es Linkin Park, pero el rap es parecido al de Mike Shinoda

    U.... R....

    +El Undead riocuartense | HU4L lol i listen to these people just coz i googled, songs similar to linkin park

    U.... R....

    +El Undead riocuartense | HU4L HU4L ^^ but these guys music is awesome anyway^^

    U.... R....

    +El Undead riocuartense | HU4L Yeah, you can tell he takes a lot of influence from Mike, which is awesome, to me, because not a lot of people rap like Mike.

    U.... R....

    The rap of Mike Shinoda is awesome!! 


    HU4L

  39. C.... M....

    Also kinda sounds like From Ashes To New...

  40. s.... s....

    I find it more between LP and Nine Lashes and/ 12 Stones

  41. C.... B....

    They're not Linkin Park, shut up already.

    C.... B....

    but they are

  42. C.... V....

    dangerkids es una de las mejores bandas que e escuchado en mi vida no hay nada parecido

  43. P.... T....

    is it okay that every song in this album is my favorite? 

    P.... T....

    Phil Thomas yes

  44. S.... ....

    I think they sound nice (except for the NOT unique kind of screaming) But actually if I want to listen to some LP-like music, I personally choose Tribal Ink... A very underrated band in my opinion

  45. S.... ....

    doesn't sound like LP instrumentally, but the rapper does sound like Mike. But ugh...typical screaming, no thanks. I'd choose Chester any day because at least his scream has  a tone and melody to it.

    S.... ....

    Well first of Chester sounds like a fag now and he screamed too so that was pointless and i think your a puss if you don't like screaming and if the stuff sucked change the metal style don't call all screams the same you make yourself look like a douche try new stuff find new bands not all metal is about screams for example people like attila for his quick vocals and the guitar solos of you have beef keep it to yourself but then there is Chelsea grin with fry screams and pig squeals and then job for a cowboy obviously just pig squeals not all metal is the same I appreciate that you think your a no it all its music listeners like you that give people like me a bad name so in all honesty shut the fuck up

    S.... ....

    @Isaac Diamond learn to paragraph and punctuate, then maybe I'll give your "argument" a chance

    S.... ....

    @ShadowCrowX Nice punctuation, you even managed to start your sentence with a capitol letter. It would have made you look like a complete hypocrite if you didn't capitalize that first letter. Nice job there.

    S.... ....

    @ShadowCrowX id say from ashes to new sound more linkin park then these guys but these guys do like linkin park

    S.... ....

    @Phil Thomas to me their words doesn't clear because of the scream..
    I prefer if can hear the words more clear... but still i like their songs and the rapper is awesome..

  46. G.... ....

    I think you can't compare it to Linkin Park... I mean it's a lot different than these guys....

  47. J.... N....

    Their drummer Katie Cole brought me here. Several yearsago she did a cover Blink 182's First Date. So I just watched that and I wondered, what is this girl doing now? Found her in this band and wow! Incredible! I dont really get all the comparison to Linkin Park though. Dangerkids has a more progressive drum sound, thanks to Katie, and lacks any scratching DJ type shit so the similarity is....singing and a bit of rapping mixed together? And how many other bands have done that too? Dangerkids sounds great and original to me, a breath of fresh air compared to most of the crap on the radio right now.

    J.... N....

    falling in reverse is also rap and sing with cleanse vocals

    J.... N....

    If you like these guys you'd probably love From Ashes To New as well!

  48. D.... T....

    agree that they rap like mike but their sound a lot different
    still love these guys !!

  49. S.... C....

    1440p holydamn dangerkids!!

  50. d.... b....

    Have my prayers been answered?! These guys are awesome!!

  51. S.... G....

    so I can't watch any dangerkid lyric videos?
    thanks epilepsy.

    S.... G....

    you can atleast try listening to songs while reading the lyrics :) http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dangerkids/wakingup.html

  52. t.... ....

    Dangerkids are a bunch of misfits show you what we got :P

  53. U.... ....

    I like that they are similar, yes, but the intro is a clear this is a straight rip off of one of their songs lol.

  54. A.... T....

    THIS SONG IS SO SEXY.

  55. F.... Z....

    this band it's fucking amazing

  56. A.... ....

    Saw them live at Warped Tour. Possibly the most underrated and exciting band on the bill. They were really nice too :)

  57. C.... ....

    For a second I thought I was listening to Linkin Park. They sound similar in ways.

  58. c.... ....

    next-gen of LP

    c.... ....

    Agreed.

    c.... ....

    +chon8641 definetly yes!

  59. D.... P....

    Sounds like a metalcore linkin park

  60. D.... ....

    Remember me the old LP just amazing

  61. N.... P....

    saw them live- great show

  62. S.... M....

    Its like linkin park with we came as Romans. Two great sounds together. Keep making this kind of sound. Please good pump up music

    S.... M....

    You know what dude you are so fucking right x'D the unclean vocalist sounds like the dude from we came as romans

  63. 8.... ....

    I LOVE DANGERKIDS!!!!! They sound so much like linkin park!!!!

  64. E.... ....

    It makes me really happy that people like the fact that they sound a little like LP. Most people would would be upset about a band sounding like another famous band and would be like, "OMG! how unoriginal! they stole LP's style. faggots!" so to see that people enjoy the style is awesome. of course, LP was and still is awesome, therefore, i dont think alot of people can get mad.

    E.... ....

    i still like linkin park but you're right, they dont sound like hybrid and meteora anymore, which was awesome, which is prolly why i like these guys so much

    E.... ....

    i dont think you understand.... WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR BANDS TO SOUND LIKE LINKIN PARK...
    god and took forever

    E.... ....

    There are actually already a lot of bands that happened because of LP actually. Of Mice & Men, Evanescence (probably for one of their albums), Tokio Hotel, Hollywood Undead as far as I know have all cited LP as one of their influences. Oli Sykes from BMTH also said he got inspired to start a band after attending an LP concert but I don't think that counts. Also I just read that from Wikipedia so I don't really have any links to interviews or anything.

    E.... ....

    I love HU

    E.... ....

    Thats what made me like them is they sound like the linkin park I grew up with instead of what they became

  65. C.... L....

    Does anyone else feel like they're a really hardcore Linkin park?

    C.... L....

    When they started they said their main inspiration was Linkin Park

    C.... L....

    See that... I was right!

    C.... L....

    Oh, I don't know. Try scrolling down in the comments and looking at the 40 other comments that says they sound like Linkin Park. lol

    C.... L....

    In " Light Escapes" Tyler references how LP is one of his favorite bands.

  66. M.... V....

    This is the definition of original.  Been looking for something like this in years.  Absolute perfection.

  67. I.... ....

    Warped Tour PLEASE!!!!!!!

    I.... ....

    Went on the site, saw them, they captured my attention, and now they have a new fan!

  68. T.... T....


    (It starts with one)
    One thing I don't know why
    It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
    Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
    To explain in due time
    (All I know)
    Time is a valuable thing
    Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
    Watch it count down to the end of the day
    The clock ticks life away
    (It’s so unreal)
    Didn’t look out below
    Watch the time go right out the window
    Trying to hold on but didn’t even know
    I wasted it all just to watch you go

    T.... T....

    I thought the same thing xD

    T.... T....

    Honestly just fuck off!

    T.... T....

    Dude it sounds so similar. But i love linkin park

  69. B.... B....

    1440p <3333333!!!!!!!!

    B.... B....

    What's the point of listening to music at 1440p?

  70. P.... ....

    underated band..

  71. T.... C....

    Hmm they are biting richy nix so hard. Listen to Harder TO
    Breathe by richy nix and richy has a song called "Waking Up" from 2010


  72. R.... J....

    These guys are amazing live

    R.... J....

    They go so hard live! They out shined SWS when they opened for them!!!!!

    R.... J....

    i saw them at the We Came As Romans concert

  73. T.... G....

    Sounds like Mike Shinoda Feat....

    T.... G....

    which makes it even better, being the LP (old one) fan I am... to be honest I've been looking for a band like old LP for a few years and it seems I've finally found it :D not that dangerkids is copying anything, but denying that both styles are similar is pure ignorance. wish someone could suggest me some good songs of this band...

    T.... G....

    @FUS RO DAH Paper Thin, Count Down, Hostage, Light Escapes   GL HF :)

  74. s.... ....

    Sounds like fort minor

  75. M.... ....

    I'm so proud of Dangerkids! If you love the album, go see these guys live. They are so amazing and talented.

  76. j.... C....

    So this is what comes out if LP and SOTY have sex.....
    Good.

  77. M.... H....

    There's no way that's not Mike Shinoda

  78. R.... W....

    If only they were a little heavier with a little more screaming, still very nice, nice change lol

  79. t.... ....

    female drummer FTW.

  80. A.... S....

    32 people don't have ears!!!!

  81. G.... A....

    Insane. Good job!

  82. l.... ....

    Guess its' been awhile since I've heard something original, it's usually easy to compare artists with others. I like original

  83. A.... V....

    love the drum pedal starting at 2:15

  84. T.... ....

    I get the beginning and most people say they are like Linkin Park a bit at the beginning, and I too thought that, but they do have their own VERY AWESOME sound.

  85. m.... ....

    bet linkin park wishes they were this good lol

  86. R.... E....

    wtf??? 1440p???

  87. T.... ....

    Actually the yelling reminds me of Horizons

  88. y.... ....

    maybe its called an original sound??

  89. m.... ....

    For those Linkin Park fans, does anybody else hear "Somewhere I Belong" at the start slightly?

  90. S.... ....

    I saw them in Lawrence, KS... You guys are fucking awesome! Like mixing LinkinparCORE for realz!!!!

  91. K.... Y....

    Sounds so much like mike shinoda from linkin park :l

  92. m.... ....

    Nu-Metal baby, bring that shit back! <3

  93. m.... ....

    Parcore, PARKOUR!

  94. l.... ....

    You fucking nailed it with TDWP, that's what the clean vocals remind me of!

  95. l.... ....

    Hm, never heard of them. Let me look them up *Minutes Later* I can see it a bit

  96. l.... ....

    I was unclear. I was actually comparing the singers styles of singing to those of other bands. If you listen closely you hear that they can sound like Mike and Alex at times. But I'm having a hard time figuring out what the clean vocals are similar to

  97. L.... ....

    This is what LP should be instead of that dubstep crap

  98. C.... L....

    First time GAY
    Second time EHH
    Third time MAYYBBBEE
    Fourth time I NEED THIS ALBUM !!
    Replay replay replay replay lol

  99. T.... F....

    If u didn't know better you'd think this is linkin park
