Sleep Shake
Awakening Identity: Thomas Giles' Sleep Shake Explained
Lyrics
It started like a normal day, I jumped and explored the yard
Describes the beginning of a typical day, marked by curiosity and exploration.
My senses seemed tense, like a bone between two friends

But today I feel so strange, like I'm someone else

They've never really been my friends, just a common sense of self

All your sounds I've memorized, now I can send them back

Do I show you what I've done or keep it all inside?
Ponders the decision to reveal or conceal the acquired skill and knowledge.
I can now find human friends outside our common self

But today I feel so strange, that's why I'll become my own self
