Awake At Night
Daso Lyrics

Lights Off, Eyes Open,
I am lying in bed with the lights off, but my eyes are open and I cannot sleep.

Lie Still, Mind Racing
Although my body is still, my mind is racing with thoughts.

Colours flash and fade
My mind is spinning with so many thoughts that the colors I see flash and fade in my mind's eye.

Night turns to day
The whole night seems to pass by and turn into the day, as my thoughts keep me up all night.

I'm Still, holding on to something,
I am still holding onto some hope or idea that things can change.

Thinking i can make you change
I am foolishly thinking that I can be the catalyst for change in someone else's life.

Who am i to be so wrong,
I am realizing that I am not the one who can change someone else, and I am questioning myself.

Thinking that you need me when I'm gone
I am also falsely hoping that my absence will make someone realize how much they need me.

So I close my eyes,
I try to force myself to sleep by closing my eyes.

I'll force you from my mind,
I try to push away all thoughts related to the person or situation that is keeping me awake.

Awake at night,
Despite my efforts, I am still awake all night.

You go round and round,
The same thoughts and memories keep going round and round in my head, not allowing me to rest.

Feel so low,
I feel depressed and restless.

And all i ever hear,
All the advice and suggestions I receive is to let go of the situation or person that is keeping me up at night.

Is just let go,
Everyone is telling me to just let go, but it's not that easy.

But you go round and round and round
Despite my attempts, the thoughts keep going round and round in my head.

A thousand hours spent,
I have spent countless hours dwelling on the situation or person that is keeping me up at night.

Wondering what you meant,
I am still trying to make sense of the situation, and what the other person meant.

Nothing matters no,
Despite my best efforts, nothing really matters in the end and everything seems futile.

This numbness hurts somehow I'm still,
The numbness I feel from the situation is in itself painful, but I am still holding onto hope that things will change.

Holding on to something,
I am still holding onto some hope or idea that things can change, despite the pain and disappointment.

Thinking i can make you change
I am still foolishly thinking that I can be the catalyst for change in someone else's life, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Who am i to be so wrong,
I am questioning myself again, realizing that my actions and thoughts may be misguided.

Thinking that you need me when gone
I am still holding onto the false hope that my absence will make someone realize how much they need me.
