Awaken the Truth: Confronting Nightmares and Political Beasts
Lyrics
Woke up in the middle of the night
Waking abruptly during the night
I could sense something not right
Sensing something amiss or wrong
Have you ever seen
Asking if someone has witnessed a particular experience
What I'm about to describe?
Asking if the listener has seen or experienced something described
A multiheaded beast was about to devour me
Feeling threatened by a dangerous, multiheaded creature
I would be its feast, while it disemboweled me
Expectation of being consumed and destroyed by the beast
I've never feared the dark,
Expressing fearlessness toward darkness but acknowledging danger in reality
Reality is a dangerous shark
Real life is likened to a dangerous predator
Shake me up, make me feel whole again
Desire to be emotionally complete or fulfilled
Wake me up, and tell me we're around the bend
Request to be awakened and reassured that things will improve
I don't see it as, moral panic
Not perceiving a situation as an overreaction, but recalling a historical lesson
Just remember lessons of the Titanic
Remembering the lessons learned from past disasters
Moving faster, won't circumvent the disaster
Understanding that hastening doesn't prevent imminent disasters
Moved by fear their motives clear
Recognizing others' actions driven by fear
Afraid of The Beast, they don't go near
People avoiding a threatening entity
Political minions walk away when asked for their opinions
Political figures avoiding expressing their opinions
Wake me up, make me feel whole again
Desiring to be awakened emotionally and reassured about the future
Shake me up, show me we're not near the end
Requesting confirmation that the end is not imminent
Wonder why their silence reins?
Questioning the reason for their silence
They got no balls, and shit for brains
Criticizing their lack of courage and intelligence
The bully insults 'em,
Describing a bully demeaning them
All they do is beg for more
Observing their compliance despite being insulted
Wake up, people, I say it as a friend
Urging people to awaken to a troubling reality
You got to stop it, this nightmare's gotta end
Encouraging action to end the ongoing distressing situation
It's up to you, to vote these ugly hacks, away
Calling for change through voting to remove unsuitable leaders
Wake up friends, only you make your life better
Empowering individuals to improve their lives by taking action
Wake up now, before it's too late to matter
Urging immediate awakening before it's too late to make a difference
