Awakening Within: Oceans Above Unveils Profound Realities in 'Cognitive Dissonance'
Lyrics
Feed flock of the slaughter
Refers to the act of providing sustenance to a group destined for slaughter.
Long suffering have you been in these matters
Expresses enduring hardship in these situations or circumstances.
When most have supplanted and buried the rest
When the majority has replaced and hidden the remaining few.
Cover your face as the axe burrows its nest
Suggests shielding oneself as a sharp tool penetrates deeply.
If we could only be transforming
If only there could be a transformative process.
Renewing of minds
Desires a renewal of perspectives and attitudes.
Your thorns they choked our branches
Refers to difficulties (thorns) hindering growth.
Withering out vines
Leads to the withering of essential elements.
We can't be proud
Emphasizes the need to avoid pride.
How simple yet confounding diagnosis we're compiling
Acknowledges the complexity of a diagnosis that is both simple and perplexing.
When blending gnosis with the holy harsh and bold where we've been led into stepping
Blending knowledge with bold actions where one is guided to step.
How can this at all be dismissed
Questions the possibility of dismissing a particular situation.
So consistent oppressive feeling
Describes a consistently oppressive emotion or atmosphere.
Underneath the earth it is alive and it's growing
Suggests a living force beneath the earth, growing and impacting.
Our choice ours alone inherit anew or be in the removing
Choices are solely personal, to embrace change or face removal.
If these cuts are meant to bleed us all whole
Raises the question of whether wounds are intended to affect everyone profoundly.
And I think it's time may we all break from this fold
Expresses a desire to break away from a predetermined path.
Don't fall for the soul
Caution against losing one's essence or individuality.
My will my emotions
States a detachment from personal will and emotions.
I've no need for them anymore
Rejecting the need for personal emotions and willpower.
If I have to walk through the fire
Expresses a willingness to endure hardships to reach a personal destination.
So be it ill get to my home
Acceptance of facing challenges to reach one's desired destination.
No longer consider this desire of flesh
Rejecting the desire associated with the physical body.
I need not of mine own
Claiming independence from personal desires.
In contempt within myself herein when giving up to consent
Encourages self-reflection when surrendering to one's own consent.
Remember to fall upon that sword once it pierces the fragile skin of yours circumstance
Advises remembering to accept consequences when facing personal challenges.
