Who Am I?
Akashic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All that you see here
Is nothing. Is Untruth
Including myself and this song
People and countries and earth are with me
We are just part of the one

When you pray in silence
To realize who you are
Meditation is the key

Who am I? Who am I?
Deny the mind.
The body and control the breath
Living and dying and trying to get
Consciousness, knowledge and grace

When you pray in silence
To realize who you are
Meditation is the key

I am waiting to find it now
The devil and sinners try to put me astray
I'm waiting to find it now
To saints and gods I will give my prays

When I find myself in the darkness of this
Existence
I will fight and try to reach the most divine
Energy

Who Am I?

All that you see here
Is nothing. Is Untruth
Including myself and this song
People and countries and earth are with me
We are just part of the one

When you pray in silence




To realize who you are
Meditation is the sky

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Akashic's song "Who Am I?" explore the concept of self-realization and the quest to discover one's true identity beyond the illusions of the physical world. The opening lines "All that you see here is nothing, is Untruth" suggest that everything that is visible and tangible in the world is not the ultimate reality, but merely a temporary and illusory manifestation of something deeper and more profound. This includes the singer himself and even the song he is singing.


The song advocates the use of meditation as the key to unlocking one's true identity and experiencing a higher state of consciousness beyond the limitations of the mind and body. The repeated refrain "Who am I?" expresses the longing to know one's true self and to transcend the limitations of the ego and the material world. The second verse, which urges the listener to "deny the mind" and "control the breath", highlights the importance of quieting the thoughts and focusing on the breath as a means of entering a meditative state.


The final verse portrays the struggle to overcome the obstacles that prevent one from realizing their true self, including the temptations of the devil and the distractions of worldly pleasures. The singer expresses a determination to fight through the darkness and reach a state of divine energy, suggesting that the quest for self-realization requires a constant effort and commitment.

De Ros, Mermão... O Akashic, pra mim, é umas das 5 melhores bandas que o Brasil já teve, Bicho. PQP! Eu gosto demais dessa música (aliás, quem é a mulher que canta nesse som?), bem como a Memories e a Veiled Secrets (as interpretações do Rafa nessa música é de fazer chorar de tanta emoção) que fazem parte desse álbum, que por sinal, é muito foda (o Timeless Realm). Aliás, meu Velho, sempre quando puder e der, solte mais e mais músicas do Akashic! Tenho um amigo que assim como eu (fala pra ele aí, Ricca!), entende a verdadeira importância do Akashic pro Prog nacional, justamente pelo quão maravilhosos são os dois álbuns que vocês lançaram (o A Brand New Day, que estamos procurando pra termos em CD, é igualmente belo!).
Parabéns pelo que vocês fizeram com o Akashic, banda essa que está no meu coração!
