Awaken
Disturbed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the midst of something that I
Want to play with your evil inside
Wanting, letting go, of what never could be again
Lost and alone
Imprisoned now inside of your mind
With the way you tried
To destroy me again
You were waiting and living for no one
With the way you tried
To completely refuse all your life
Feed on your nothing
You'll never live up to me
Awaken you
With a little evil inside
Feed on your nothing
You'll never live up to me
I've stricken you
I don't wanna live with the lie
Feed on your nothing
And you'll never live up to me
Awaken you, oh no
Can't live up to me
I've stricken you
Feed on your nothing and you'll never live up to me
Stripped of life, alone
In the midst of something that I
Want to play with your evil inside
Wanting, letting go, of what never could be again
Lost and alone
Imprisoned now inside your mind
With the way you tried
To destroy me again
You were waiting and living for no one
With the way you tried
To completely refuse all your life
Feed on your nothing
You'll never live up to me
Awaken you
With a little evil inside
Feed on your nothing
You'll never live up to me
I've stricken you
I don't wanna live with the lie
Feed on your nothing
And you'll never live up to me
Awaken you, oh no
Can't live up to me
I've stricken you
Can't live up to me
There isn't a thing that I can do
Watching this whole thing just wash away
Making me wrong
There isn't a thing that I can do
Watching this whole thing just wash away
Making me wrong
Making you strong
Awaken you
With a little evil inside
Feed on your nothing
You'll never live up to me
I've stricken you
I don't wanna live with the lie
Feed on your nothing
And you'll never live up to me
Ooh can't live up to me, yeah
Feed on your nothing and you'll never live up to me
