Just Assassin
Awakening Shadows: Unveiling Life's Transgressions Through 'Just Assassin'
Lyrics
Woke to a voice
Waking up to a sound or presence
It was distand, but distinct
The voice was far away but clear
It called my name twice
The voice called the listener's name twice
For an instant, I think
Momentarily considering or contemplating
I rose from my sleep
Getting up from sleep
As water might flow
Moving slowly or gently, akin to water flowing
Lurked in the shadows
Remaining hidden or unnoticed
I was moving so slow
Moving at a slow pace
It called me not by earthly name
The voice doesn’t use the listener's known name but knows their faults and guilt
It knew my trespasses and shame
It's aware of the listener's wrongdoings and sense of guilt
It sweetly sang to me a song
Singing a beautiful song to the listener
I thought it'd last forever long
The listener desires the song to last indefinitely
Caught in the light
Feeling overwhelmed or captivated by something bright or significant
Taking my breath
Taken aback or startled, perhaps by something divine
It came for my life
Feeling like something or someone is threatening their life after death
The one after death
Expressing the coldness and emptiness of the night
Oh the night is so cold
The day feels lifeless and uninteresting
The day is dry and dead
Sensing something on the skin, likely referring to a sensation from an otherworldly being
Felt the flow on my skin
Receiving a welcome from an unknown entity
"Welcome," is all he it said
Asking for water to be fetched near the bed
So fetch the pitcher by the bed
Pouring water slowly over the head to cleanse the mind
Pour it slowly on my head
Expressing gratitude for what has been brought or revealed
And rid my mind of idle thoughts
Stating that justice is being served
I thank him for what he has brought
Repeating the idea of justice being served
Justly so
Reiterating the sense of justice prevailing
Justly so
Emphasizing the fairness or righteousness of the situation
