Awake
Awake in the Night: Embracing Change and Finding Light
Lyrics
Change!
Expressing a desire or need for change.
And I can't hold on through the night
Feeling unable to endure through the night.
I've been looking for my face
Searching for one's identity or self.
I've been waking through the fight
Enduring challenges and conflicts.
Love!
Highlighting the importance of love.
And I can only breed the faith
Having faith and generating positivity.
See the break, hold your doubt and say:
Encouraging to face uncertainties with confidence.
The light's been changing, and the sun is out
Noticing a shift in circumstances, possibly towards positivity.
Hold your breath, and count to ten
Advising to hold one's breath and stay calm.
If the light is out, come again
Suggesting a return when the situation improves.
Back to the basics, awake in the late night
Embracing simplicity and being aware during the night.
I can't be bothered awaiting the sunshine
Impatient about waiting for better times.
Ripped by the smoke, baked for a good high
Experiencing the effects of substances (smoke) for pleasure.
Beat for tomorrow, damned by the right time
Struggling with fate or timing.
Hold on darling, I ain't you
Asserting individuality and independence.
Cold wind's coming, I am through
Feeling overwhelmed or done with challenges.
See the break, hold your doubt
Reiterating the importance of facing doubts.
If the night is changing and the sun is out
Noticing a change in the night with the sun's presence.
Hold your breath, count to ten
Repeating the advice to stay calm and composed.
If the light is out, you come again
Encouraging a return when conditions improve.
Time and soul, sit at the red light
Reflecting on time and the essence of the soul.
Freedom calling onto the redline
Yearning for freedom and change marked by a red line.
Greener days, called out for high time
Desiring better, brighter days and a call to action.
Beatnik blues awake in the late night
Experiencing a bluesy, contemplative state during the night.
I won't be, no six feet deep in the morning
Expressing a determination to survive beyond challenges.
Get fried beyond belief, no I cannot dream
Rejecting the idea of being limited by dreams and seeking intense experiences.
Sit low darling, I can't breathe
Feeling low and struggling to breathe.
In the morning hour, you can't dream
Highlighting the difficulty of dreaming in the morning.
No I won't be
Asserting a refusal to be confined or limited.
So high in the morning
Expressing a heightened state in the morning.
