Meaning
This lyric has philosophical meaning - the human life is symbolized with night - we spent our life in the darkness of ignorance. You are wasting the life in unawareness (sleep) so, wake up and introspect! As one gets closer to death, he wishes more to live and this lust for life makes life more miserable. So wake up!
