Awakening
Alex M.O.R.P.H. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Down again with a dusty hope
Down again with a dusty hope
You got to know (You got to know)
We're going down (We're going down)
We sell the world (We sell the world)
We burn the house (We burn the house)
But we got a chance (We got a chance)
Full endurance
Caus' you've got something to say
And you cannot explain
Take off your frozen mask
Keep dreaming, the world is gonna change
And I cry again (I can't find myself)
I cannot find myself
Would you dare fight again?
Another time
Caus' you've got something to say
And you cannot explain




Take off your frozen mask
Keep dreaming, the world is gonna change

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alex M.O.R.P.H.'s "Awakening" deal with a sense of aimlessness and confusion about the purpose of life. The first verse seems to express the feeling of being stuck in a rut and questioning what one's life is really amounting to. The singer states that they "get high till [they] can't see straight" in order to escape the monotony of their existence. However, despite feeling lost and unsure, they try to put on a brave face and insist that they are "fine" and "alright." The chorus of the song repeats the idea that everyone is born to die, but then asks the question, "So tell me why I live?"


The second and third verse continue to express a sense of disillusionment with life, but add a glimmer of hope at the end. The singer acknowledges that they've made mistakes and might not have everything figured out, but they encourage others to "do what it takes" and "refind yourself." The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the refrain, "I don't know what to tell ya / Out of souls to sell ya."

How did I end up a fool with nothing to suffice

I wanna live up to them all but I got some new advise

Run around, don't make a sound, keep burning up the knife
Feeling restless and frenetic, while also self-destructive and unfulfilled.
