Awakening
Normandie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now I can see
The blind leads the blind
They forget how to feel
It seems like everyone is trying so hard
To find sparks, ignite a flame
It seems like everyone is finding purpose
In a never ending game
And it feels like I'm alive
Like the waves are crushing in on me
And I know what I have found
It is the key to my awakening
I've been asleep for a long time
But never had dreams
My life had no meaning
I followed the stream
It seems like everyone is trying so hard
To find sparks, ignite a flame
It seems like everyone is finding purpose
In a never ending game
And it feels like I'm alive
Like the waves are crushing in on me
And I know what I have found
It is the key to my awakening
Feels like I'm a-feels like I'm alive
Key to my awakening
Feels like I'm a-feels like I'm alive
Key to my awakening
I've been hiding everything deep inside
Now I'm coming clean
I've been going up and down like a tide
Now I'm free within
Oh
Every now and then I face my fears
And I will go under
Starting new is easier in tears
And it feels like I'm alive
And it feels like I'm alive
Like the waves are crushing in on me
And I know what I have found
It is the key to my awakening
Feels like I'm a-feels like I'm alive
Key to my awakening
Feels like I'm a-feels like I'm alive
Key to my awakening
