Make It Mine - Jason Mraz

Wake up everyone
How can you sleep at a time like this
Unless the dreamer is the real you
Listen to your voice
The one that tells you to taste past the tip of your tongue
Leap and the net will appear

I don't wanna wake before
The dream is over
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes i... I'll own it
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I'll make it all mine

I keep my life on a heavy rotation
Requesting that it's lifting you up
Up up and away
And over to a table at the Gratitude Café

And I am finally there
And all the angels they'll be singing
Ah la la la ah la la la I la la la la love you

I don't wanna break before
The tour is over
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes i...I'll own it
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I'll make it all mine

And timing's everything
And this time there's plenty
I am balancing
Careful and steady
And reveling in energy that everyone's emitting

I don't wanna wait no more
No I wanna celebrate the whole world
I'm gonna make it mine
Because I'm following your joy
I'm gonna make it mine
Because I... I am open
I'm gonna make it mine
that's why I will show it
I'm gonna make it all mine
It's mine...
Yes I will make it all mine

This song represents how people like Winston feel as they begin to realize what the government is doing to them. It is frustrating to them that nobody else realizes what the government is doing and what their eventual goal is. Nobody else realizes what their missing out on and what the government is taking away from them. You want to scream at everybody am make them see what you see but you can't because you know the government will punish you if you do so. You can't do anything to communicate your ideas and because of that you don't even know if anybody else is having the same ideas as you. The only choices you have are to continue living your life the way you always have or spread your thoughts and then be vaporized. You can hope that somebody would have heard your ideas and might spread them, but if that was the case they would probably be vaporized, too. Eventually Winston chooses the second option and starts taking more risks. He meets with Julia, acknowledges that Oceania has not been at war with the same country forever. Of course he ultimately pay the price for this.
