The band is made up of Brian Hacker (ex-Dislocated Styles singer), J.R. Newlin (old drummer from Windigo), Chad Duncan on bass guitar, Kevin Dye (ex-frontman for Bldg5) on vocals and guitar.The band was obviously brought together by fate to make music. The music comes together; as heavy driving guitar riffs combined with a rock steady, head nodding drumbeats; blend with the devastating bass grooves that lay the foundation for what is flowing vocally. The aggressive sound delivers topics like deceit of women, the political harshness of America's foreign policy, the use of drugs and alcohol, and the personal insights of the loss of a loved one. All the topics; reach the listener with different points of impact; but still allows you to relate to and understand the powerfull delivery. 4614 have opened up for acts like Incubus, HED (pe), Staind, Pennywise, Alien Ant Farm, AFI, Nickleback, Kottonmouth Kings, Henry Rollins, and Powerman 5000. They have been courted by Dreamworks Records, Atlantic, and others and released album "Guilty By Association" in 2002.

Awakening
4614 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd like to change you here now, but that's not right
I lose myself, blinded by your lights
as I'm learning to fly here with these broken wings
bringing myself closer to these dreams
but I'm not like you

I need, I bleed with your constant games
just give me names, now who's responsible
it's impossible for me to live this way
redeeming myself almost every day
I'm trapped inside, I've got no place to hide
I can't believe you lied, you have no shame
but I'm not like you

(chorus)
mind imprisoned, my soul is free
blinded by facts of reality
twisted by fate with nothing left to see
a minute in time is like eternity

this time I will rise (2x)
you know I'll rise above you this time

I see these walls closing in till I can't breathe
panic floods me, turns my thoughts to deceit
need a break before I snap, time bomb
now everyone please stand back while I slip into the cracks,
eliminate your mack
I need to relax now before I break you in half
your world has turned to aftermath
now you're scattered out like ashes amongst the floor
you're coming back no more
you've wasted all I gave
and nothing left to take
your life is driven by
suppress your inner hate
your only disguise, the cause that sealed your fate
now as I rise, labeled you were the fake

this time I will rise (4x)

mind imprisoned, my soul is free
blinded by facts of reality




twisted by fate with nothing left to see
a minute in time is like eternity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Awakening," by 4614, describe a journey of self-discovery and emancipation through a painful realization of the toxic power dynamic in a relationship. The first verse sets the tone for the song, describing the singer's desire to transform the other person into a better version of themselves but acknowledging the futility of this endeavor. The second verse portrays the suffocating effect of the other person's manipulation, leading the singer to the brink of collapse, and the chorus highlights the contrasting states of the singer's mind and soul.


The final verse of the song is the most powerful, as the singer moves from victimhood to empowerment. The imagery of the walls closing in and panic flooding in is a metaphor for the oppressive situation the singer is trying to escape. The singer decides to take a break and slip into the cracks, eliminating the other person's hold over them. The final line, "labeled you were the fake," shows that the singer has finally seen through the other person's lies and manipulation and has taken control of their own destiny.


Overall, "Awakening" tells a compelling story of self-discovery, empowerment, and moving beyond toxic relationships.

now you're scattered out like ashes amongst the floor
Now you're defeated and humiliated, reduced to nothing but debris and rubbish

I'm closing the door and cutting you out of my life for good


you've wasted all I gave
You've squandered and misused all the resources and opportunities I've provided for you


and nothing left to take
There's nothing more for you to gain or exploit from me


your life is driven by suppress your inner hate
You're consumed and controlled by your own bitterness and resentment


your only disguise, the cause that sealed your fate
Your only means of coping or hiding is what led to your downfall and destiny
