Lyrics
When I'm awake
Expressing a state of consciousness
Everything is grey and worthless
Describing a feeling of bleakness and lack of value
And when I'm alone
Emphasizing loneliness
No one even thinks about me
Perceiving a lack of attention or consideration from others when alone
And when I'm in a crowd of people I can't relate
Feeling disconnected in a crowd, unable to relate to others
Cuz no one knows the way I feel
Highlighting the difficulty of expressing inner emotions
Or the way I hate
Conveying a sense of hatred or frustration that is not understood by others
When I'm awake
Reiterating the theme of being awake and the associated feelings
When I'm awake
-When I'm awake
-Tryin for the apathetic
Expressing a desire for apathy, perhaps as a coping mechanism
So much for truth
Commenting on the perceived lack of truth
If only I could just forget it
Wishing to forget a troubling reality
So wear your ribbons and stars like a badge of shame
Mocking those who display symbols of pride as if they were shameful
Share your hollow sentiments and I'll know inside your heart
Observing insincerity in others' expressions of sentiment
Inside your heart
-When I'm awake
Repeating the theme of wakefulness and associated emotions
When I'm awake
-When I'm awake
-When I'm awake
Reiterating the state of wakefulness
Slipping through the end of everything
Describing a sense of impending doom or negativity
(Feel it in my heart in my soul I know it in my brain)
-When I'm awake
-(Feel it in my heart in my soul I know it in my brain)
-I can feel the growing darkness
-Deep in the chest
-Gathering to come and harm us (ugh!)
-When I'm awake
Continuing the repetition of wakefulness and its emotional impact
When I'm awake
-When I'm awake
-When I'm awake
-I can't stop the way want
Expressing a lack of control over desires or impulses
When I'm awake
Repeating the inability to stop certain desires
I can't stop in the way that I want yeah
Reiterating the inability to control desires
When I'm awake
Expressing a disturbing desire related to violence
I can't stop from killing you
Repeating the theme of violence associated with wakefulness
When I'm awake
