"Wake Me Up" by Avicii can be applied to either Willy or Biff Loman. Both are desperately seeking something tangible and real- something they feel will finally complete them. However in this process they are losing themselves by forgetting what is truly important: "all this time I was finding myself and I didn't know i was lost". For Willy, he did not realize this was happening until his " life [had passed him] by", because he chose to close his eyes and sleep through his troubles. The song also alludes to the concept of plans for big dreams, which are never actually followed through on- "hope I get the chance to travel the world, but I don't have any plans".
