Awake
0=0 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be frank with me
Don't be discouraged
You gonna be so free
To be horrified
If it escalated
Even the pious side
In the disarray
We are in a ruch
It's pay one's way
And eat my dust
Why bother? You might ask
You know it coukdn't last
To look for a reason isn't beside the point
To figure what went wrong
So the pale facces
Were discoloured
Well in any case
A new world is disclosed
It seems what we heard
Is just a tale
All the misbelievers failed
Should the irritable mood fly away!
Let the gloomy meetings end
Oh let's go on dancing
Though the chaos is perfect
Whu bother? You might ask
You know it couldn't last
To look for a reason isn't beside the point
To figure what went wrong

To be wide awake
To be fully alert and aware
To be frank with me
To be honest and straightforward
Don't be discouraged
Do not feel disheartened
You gonna be so free
You are going to be completely liberated
To be horrified
To be extremely shocked and disturbed
If it escalated
If the situation worsened
Even the pious side
Even the righteous and devout individuals
Is desolated
Are devastated and deserted
In the disarray
In a state of confusion and disorder
We are in a rush
We are in a hurry
It's pay one's way
It's everyone for themselves
And eat my dust
And try to catch up to me
Why bother? You might ask
You might question what is the point
You know it couldn't last
You know it was unsustainable
To look for a reason isn't beside the point
To search for an explanation is not irrelevant
To figure what went wrong
To determine what caused the problem
So the pale faces
So the people who were frightened and helpless
Were discoloured
Changed dramatically, lost their color
Well in any case
Regardless
A new world is disclosed
A new reality is revealed
It seems what we heard
It appears that what we were told
Is just a tale
Is simply a story, not true
All the misbelievers failed
All of those who doubted were proven wrong
Should the irritable mood fly away!
If the unpleasant or irritating feeling goes away
Let the gloomy meetings end
Let the depressing gatherings come to a close
Oh let's go on dancing
Let us enjoy ourselves and continue dancing
Though the chaos is perfect
Even though everything is in complete turmoil
Why bother? You might ask
You may question why to even try
You know it couldn't last
You know it was unsustainable
To look for a reason isn't beside the point
To search for an explanation is not irrelevant
To figure what went wrong
To determine what caused the problem

Favorite 0e0 tune, shame it never got full release. Seems to flex out a little more than his other stuff - more breadth to play with the intense drums snares edits glitches beats. Synaptic Plastic where are u? ;_;
