Am I Sleeping or Am I Dead
Awakening in Shadows: A Journey of Life and Loss
Lyrics
Thousand thoughts
Feeling overwhelmed by numerous thoughts.
Are rushing through my head:
The thoughts are intense and rapid.
What am I
Reflecting on personal identity and existence.
Am I sleeping or am I dead?
Questioning whether the current state is a dream or death.
I have learned
Acknowledging a prolonged period of learning or self-discovery.
That I have a long night ahead
Anticipating a lengthy and challenging time ahead.
Till I return
Until the speaker can reconnect with warmth and life.
To warm up the coldness of my hands
Seeking to overcome emotional coldness or detachment.
Thousand nights
Reflecting on countless nights in the past.
I've been rushing through my head
The nights have been filled with haste and urgency.
A stranded ship
Describing oneself as a stranded ship metaphorically.
In search for a land
In search of a purpose or destination.
And I've come round
Having come full circle, reaching a destination.
To finally reach the ground
Despite reaching the ground, there's a realization.
But all I find
Finding beauty in things that are lifeless or inert.
Are beautiful dead things around
A contrast between the expected and the reality.
So lie
Suggesting a need to pretend or deceive about vitality.
That I am alive
Expressing a desire to be perceived as alive.
And lie
Repeating the plea to pretend there is still time.
That we still have time
Emphasizing the urgency and brevity of time.
