The Awakening
Backjumper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It won't be nothing turned
These eyes are darkened gone
That train is gone forever
It won't becoming ever
The place this world want me to be in
Take your time, see and sever
Take your time now, see and fucking sever
Until these sleepless nights are slowly gone
Not all of these sleepless nights are gone
I can still see knifes that sever
There is nothing that we want more
We won't believe the same faults again
There's not deadly-afraid victims, only aware executors
Passing away the frontline dictators
I carve this pact in me, that wakes the cruelty
Of this creation made through destruction
I can still feel these blades searching
Deeper they're reclaiming for
You know the night is darker, right before the dawn
Don't try to see it through, and don't pretend to know
Can't you refuse these kinda of visions, can't you define a reason
Wake up
You got the demons awaken
You got the time broken
Everytime you know to got the demons awaken
Rise up
I do terrible dreams, I wake up and regret them
Even when you sleep the world's still awake, head this failure
The lyrics to Backjumper's song The Awakening convey a sense of struggle and a desire to break free from the confines of society's expectations. The opening lines, "Barely following the steps of a righteous path / It won't be nothing turned," suggest that the singer is not conforming to traditional notions of what is right or acceptable. They feel lost and trapped in a life that they don't want to lead. The following lines, "These eyes are darkened gone / That train is gone forever / It won't becoming ever / The place this world want me to be in," further emphasize this feeling of being stuck and unable to escape.
The chorus encourages the singer to take their time and make changes, hoping that someday they will be able to overcome their struggles and achieve their goals. The lines, "Until these sleepless nights are slowly gone / Not all of these sleepless nights are gone" suggest that progress may be slow, but it is important to keep moving forward. The image of "knifes that sever" is a powerful metaphor for the obstacles that must be overcome in order to achieve freedom and success.
The second half of the song contains more abstract imagery but continues to convey a sense of struggle and frustration. The repetition of "You got the demons awaken / You got the time broken" suggests that the singer feels overwhelmed and weighed down by their problems. The final lines, "I do terrible dreams, I wake up and regret them / Even when you sleep the world's still awake, head this failure," convey a sense of defeat and anxiety.
Overall, the lyrics to The Awakening are powerful and heartfelt, capturing the sense of turmoil and conflict that often accompanies the process of self-discovery and growth.

Barely following the steps of a righteous path
Struggling to stay on the right path
It won't be nothing turned
Things won't change

That train is gone forever
Missed an opportunity that won't come back
It won't becoming ever
Despairing that things won't get better
The place this world want me to be in
Not feeling like you fit in with society's expectations
Take your time, see and sever

Urging to take the time to work through issues
