The Awakening
Copia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can we begin to listen
And visualise
Or do we go on living to our demise
Instead of running from reality
We could rise up together
And face it

Diffuse all fear
Escape it's atmosphere
The wait is over

And you feeling this
We've come to let you know
It's nothing mythical or biblical
We're awakening
So surrender to it all
We'll bring it to you

Can we hear the voice of our higher self
Or are we losing sight of our destiny
We've gotta stand up
Take out the truth
Residing in us
Rise up thogether
And lead the way

We'll bring it to you
We're awakening
The wait is over
We'll bring it to you

Caught in a wake and we can't escape it
But the forces at work that have held us down
Will fade away
And soon we'll be floating




Rising higher
And leading the way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Copia's song The Awakening takes on a theme of introspection and self-discovery. The first verse delves into the idea of how people tend to live their lives without truly being aware of their surroundings or the consequences of their actions. Copia asks if we can start paying attention and visualize the situation instead of hurrying on to our demise. She encourages taking time to face reality, instead of running from it. The call to "rise up together" is a call for unity and strength in numbers towards overcoming fear and difficulties.


The second verse urges listeners to think about their destiny and take responsibility for their own lives. Copia notes the importance of hearing the voice of the "higher self," which can guide us through challenges and uncertainty. She encourages people to seek out the truth within themselves and take a stand for it. The bridge expresses the idea that, although it may feel like we are "caught in a wake," if we persist regardless of the forces that hold us down, we can overcome anything and even rise above it.


Line by Line Meaning

Can we begin to listen
Are we willing to open our minds and pay attention


And visualise
Can we imagine and see beyond what is in front of us


Or do we go on living to our demise
Are we going to continue living blindly, leading to our own destruction


Instead of running from reality
Rather than avoiding the truth


We could rise up together
We have the ability to unite and come together


And face it
To confront and deal with the situation at hand


Diffuse all fear
Eliminate any anxiety or apprehension


Escape it's atmosphere
Move away from the negative energy holding us back


The wait is over
The time to act is now


And you feeling this
If you can resonate with this message


We've come to let you know
We're here to inform you


It's nothing mythical or biblical
This awakening is not some fictional or religious concept


We're awakening
We're becoming aware and enlightened


So surrender to it all
Allow yourself to fully embrace this process


We'll bring it to you
We'll deliver this awakening to you


Can we hear the voice of our higher self
Are we able to listen to our inner wisdom and intuition


Or are we losing sight of our destiny
Are we becoming disconnected from our life's purpose


We've gotta stand up
We need to take action


Take out the truth
Uncover the reality of our situation


Residing in us
The answers we seek are within us


Rise up together
We need to unite and lift each other up


And lead the way
Take initiative and guide others towards enlightenment


Caught in a wake and we can't escape it
We're being pulled in a certain direction without control


But the forces at work that have held us down
Negative energies that have hindered our progress


Will fade away
These forces will dissipate


And soon we'll be floating
We will begin to feel weightless and free


Rising higher
Elevating to new levels


And leading the way
Guiding others towards this newfound enlightenment

Seriously, you guys are brilliant. You need more publicity! The music that you make is amazing, the combination of your orchestral backing to the heavy tones is just thrilling to the ears. Whenever I need to get pumped, I crank up "Paratus/The Awakening" in the car and watch the heads turn as i drive past with this epic music spewing from my car. If you guys are ever partying on in Adelaide, hit us up, I'll be there.
