Awakening
CADAVER Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dig your way to misery
Spark eternal hatred
Burn all bridges
Set it free
Your time here has been altered

Awakening
Free your mind
Insanity made you blind
Awakening
Free your soul
Let your cold winds unfold

See the storm on the horizon
One man against it all
Without fear
Mind control
You are ready for your quest

Awakening
Free your mind
Insanity made you blind
Awakening
Free your soul
Let your cold winds unfold

Bloodline from the Stone Age
Primitive and old
Eyes like reptiles let you see
Brain mass blurs the imagery

I cannot hide from life or death
I want to be alone
My eyes can't see what you can see
I see no flesh or bones

Dig your way to misery
Spark eternal hatred
Burn all bridges




Set it free
Your time here has been altered

Overall Meaning

The song "Awakening" by Norwegian death metal band CADAVER talks about freeing oneself from the chains of insanity that blind us from the truth. The opening lines, "Dig your way to misery, spark eternal hatred, burn all bridges, set it free, your time here has been altered," suggest a sense of despair and anguish. The idea of digging one's way to misery implies that the person feels trapped in their current situation, unable to escape the pain and turmoil that they are facing. They are filled with anger and hatred, perhaps towards themselves or others, and have burnt all bridges, meaning that there is no way to turn back.


However, the song moves towards a more optimistic tone, as it talks about an "awakening." The chorus repeats the lines, "Awakening, free your mind, insanity made you blind, awakening, free your soul, let your cold winds unfold." This suggests a newfound freedom, where the person is able to see things clearly and break free from their mental constraints. The imagery of the storm on the horizon and one man facing it all without fear indicates a sense of strength and courage, as the person emerges from their previous state of mind.


The final lines of the song, "Bloodline from the Stone Age, primitive and old, eyes like reptiles let you see, brain mass blurs the imagery," suggest that the person has perhaps tapped into something ancient and primal within themselves, allowing them to see the world in a new light. Overall, "Awakening" is a powerful and evocative song about breaking free from mental constraints and seeing the world for what it truly is.
