Escape
Awake and Dreaming Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's our anthem, it's our song
It's our home away from home
It's the little crack of sunlight in our, otherwise, dark world
and we listen to relate, not because we're afraid
Ya we're living for the moment and we don't want, we don't want it to end

Ooooh yeah, tonight we'll
Sing these songs, as we leave these lights
And let the music take us through 'til sunrise
Ya it can't be wrong, when if feels so right
We'll fold the corner of this page in our lives

It's our soundtrack, It's our score
It's the music we adore
It's the one thing they can't take away from the sick and the poor
And we listen to feel safe, so we are not afraid
Ya we're living for the moment and we don't want, we don't want it to end





Ooooh yeah,
Ooooh yeah, don't stop to think about it

Too late, the melody is over
The joke seems to be on me cos I'm the one not laughing
Down here on the floor

Deflate, the mystery of living
In the most heartless fashion I could ever Imagine
No pretense of decor

Another place and time, without a great divide
And we could be flying deadly high
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

Another place and time, without a warning sign
And we could be dying angel style
I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake

I'll dream you... wide awake

With me, disaster finds a playfield
Love seems to draw dark, twisted pleasure tearing at me
Cos I can't let you go

Mercy, like water in a desert
Shine through my memory like jewelry in the sun
Where are you now

Another place and time...

I'll dream you... wide awake

It's like I'm racing to the sun, blindly face the blazing gun
Cos I'm afraid I will be left here without you
Like I'm racing not to run, give more when I have none
Cos I'm afraid I will be left here without you... wide awake

Another place and time...

I'll dream you... wide awake

I don't understand why this band is not more famous. They're so amazing.

@wangbot47

The answer is Finland

@tomislavnikolic5778

22K likes, amirite? I expected at least half a million!

@sasodiarvas

His voice... Oh, god, what a gift

@bhargavdas5524

This band with its every song crosses the upper limit of awesomeness. Out of the world !!! Probably one of the rarest bands whose songs have such a commendable like to dislike ratio.

@lonewolf4life88

Marko looks so different in each video, I never believe it's actually him

@yuria_nihilisten

Surely Poets could be more famous, but if they did, their music would probably change for worse to please the masses. I'm content they're faithful to their own, great style.

@sarahmalouf7567

not unless their style is what addicts the masses first! IMO, they should forget about the profit guarantee, it just makes a mess of everything! the purpose of buying music is to enjoy it.

@vincedprime

It's opposite

@katieedsallreamy4756

I love them just the way they are
