Awakening Waves: Finding Meaning Beyond Existence
Lyrics
Half awake in the Village Shires
Feeling partially conscious in the Village Shires
Now convinced that You don't exist
Currently convinced of the non-existence of a higher power
Come Now Sleep in waves of lavender
Invitation to experience a peaceful sleep immersed in waves of lavender
It's the way You never held me in your fist, yeah
Expressing disappointment that the divine force never controlled or constrained
If I gave it all away
Contemplating giving away everything
I could lie and say I've changed
Acknowledging the possibility of falsely claiming personal transformation
But still carry all the weight
Still burdened by the past, carrying the weight of previous actions
Stray a little further every day
Gradually deviating from the path every day
Then You showed up
A revelation or encounter at Christ Church
At the Christ Church
Specific location of the encounter
Tripping out
Experiencing disorientation or altered perception
Staring circles into the floor
Gazing fixedly at the floor in circular patterns
You weren't even saving anyone
Realization that the encounter wasn't about saving anyone
Came for a keychain and waited by the door
Someone's initial intention was mundane (getting a keychain), but stayed for something more
But You said I was lit up once too
A reference to a previous illuminated or enlightened state
I still remember all the ways we moved
Recollection of past shared experiences and motions
It's always the pleasant dreams
Highlighting the tendency for pleasant dreams to be haunting
That haunt you the most
Pleasant dreams are the most persistent in memory
And they keep you coming back again
They entice one to return despite being haunting
If i gave it all away
Reflecting on the possibility of giving everything away
I could lie and say I've changed
Contemplating the idea of falsely claiming personal change
But still carry all the weight
Continuing to carry the weight of past actions
Stray a little farther every day
Gradually straying even farther from the established path
