AWAKENING
Days of Jupiter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We kill each other like cancer grows
Ripping each other's throats
We never find peace in another

We drop each other like dominoes
Just another stepping stone
Changing the rules into violence
But every time we're waking up we'll find
There's a chance we can make it somehow
We have come to a breaking point and we can't deny it

These are the time when we fight for our lives
So Just

Pray
For a new awakening
Pray
Slowly awaken me
You can't hide from yourself in this disarray

Pray
For a new awakening
Pray
That it awakens me
The time has come so rise up for a new awakening

Inherited faith we enclose ourselves
In comprehended rage

we die along with our enemies
We build our prisons within ourselves
Trying to find our place
We have been lost since our genesis

But every time we're waking up we'll find
There's a chance we can make it somehow
We have come to a breaking point and we can't deny it

These are the time when we fight for our lives
So Just

Pray
For a new awakening
Pray
Slowly awaken me
You can't hide from yourself in this disarray

Pray
For a new awakening
Pray
That it awakens me
The time has come so rise up for a new awakening

Release me from these shackles that's holding me
It's been like this for centuries

These are the time when we fight for our lives
So Just

Pray
For a new awakening
Pray
Slowly awaken me
You can't hide from yourself in this disarray

Pray
For a new awakening
Pray
That it awakens me
The time has come so rise up for a new awakening





A new awakening

Overall Meaning

The song "Awakening" by Days of Jupiter seems to be a commentary on the current state of the world, specifically the violence and conflict that plagues humanity. The lyrics speak to how we have become disconnected from one another, and how that disconnection has led to our conflicts being like "cancer grows", destructive and seemingly unstoppable. The chorus "Pray for a new awakening, slowly awaken me" is a call for a new beginning, a new way forward that will help to heal the brokenness in society. The song speaks to the need for humanity to come together, to find a way to shed our hatred and anger, and to embrace compassion and understanding.


The song speaks to the hope that we can overcome the darkness that plagues us, and ultimately find a path to a better world. It also acknowledges that this will be difficult, that we are built to fight and to defend ourselves, but that we must rise above that if we are to truly succeed.


In summary, "Awakening" is a powerful call to action, a plea for people to come together and find a way to heal the world. It acknowledges the challenges that we face, but ultimately offers a message of hope and optimism that together, we can overcome even the greatest of obstacles.

Loved the first album. Thank God the mix is great this time. Bass drums were WAY to loud last time. ;o) Good stuff here.

Can there ever be too much bass? :D Seriously, that's what I specially liked about the last album, which imho is a masterpiece in itself, that you could actually hear the drums and the bass guitar very well, which are hardly noticeable in many bands productions.

I only say that because I'm a drummer myself haha :)
