Wolves
Awaken I Am Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All this time I've worked so hard
Do they even hear me now? Can they even hear me now?
This life can be such a dreary place
They want their piece just to push their name
It's all so fake
Never learnt to give they live to take

Fake friends do you see me now
I've used my hands to build this house
When it counts you never stuck around
Now you're searching I can't be found

You weren't here for the sweat and tears
The time I doubted the wasted years
Now it matters it's all so clear
I know the ones to hold so dear

All this time I've worked so hard
Do they even hear me now? Can they even hear me now?





(Do you see me now?)
What goes around finds it's way back around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Awaken I Am's song Wolves captures the frustration and disappointment of working tirelessly towards a dream, only to be met with fake friends and people who only want to use you for their own gain. The opening lines "All this time I've worked so hard, do they even hear me now? Can they even hear me now?" speak to the feeling of being overlooked and unheard despite all of the effort and energy put into one's craft. The use of the word "dreary" to describe life highlights the challenging nature of this pursuit and how it can be draining.


The chorus "Fake friends do you see me now, I've used my hands to build this house, when it counts you never stuck around, now you're searching I can't be found" is a scathing indictment of those who only seek to benefit from your hard work without showing any loyalty or genuine investment in your success. The reference to "sweat and tears" and "wasted years" speaks to the sacrifice and struggle that goes into building something meaningful, and the bitterness that comes from feeling unsupported and alone in that journey.


The final lines "What goes around finds its way back around" suggest that those who have been disloyal or dismissive will ultimately have to reckon with the consequences of their actions. Despite the frustration and disappointment expressed in the lyrics, there is also a sense of resignation and acceptance of the reality of the situation.
