Awakened
Assisted Living Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If the world could stop, would we all just walk away and pick it up another day?
Is this what we have waited for? All the days, until we all breathe as one.
Is this what we have waited for?
It's coming down on me. Hold onâ?¦..
If the children stop and ask us why it hurts this way? Will we know the words to say?
Is this what we have waited for?
It's coming down on me. Hold onâ?¦.
It's coming down on me. Hold onâ?¦
The song "Awakened" by Assisted Living appears to be a reflection on the state of the world today and the possibility of change. The song urges listeners to take a moment to re-evaluate their lives and the world around them, asking if they would do anything differently. The singer wonders if the world stopped, what would happen? Would people just walk away and pick it up another day? The lyrics suggest that we have been waiting for something, perhaps a change or a turning point, and the time may have finally come.
The chorus repeats the line "It's coming down on me. Hold on..." which could be interpreted in a few different ways. It may refer to the weight of the world's problems or the feeling of being overwhelmed by life. It could also be a call to action, urging listeners to "hold on" and stay strong in the face of adversity. The second verse adds a sense of urgency to the song, asking if we will know what to say when children ask why the world hurts this way. This line suggests that we have a responsibility to future generations to make things better.
Overall, the song seems to be encouraging listeners to stop sleepwalking through life and to take a more active role in creating positive change in the world. It acknowledges that change is difficult and that it's easy to feel overwhelmed, but it urges us to hold on and keep moving forward.
