Awake
Evelyn Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somehow and somewhere
I forgot all about it
It just passed my mind
And vanished in the wind

Everything seems different now
Am I awake
Do you see me with different eyes
Have I changed I feel so strong
I feel released, but i'm still in chains

Why do I behave like this
Is it the past I miss
Can't see it all
Searching for some answers, and the key I hold
Does not guide me

Everything seems different now
Am I awake
Do you see me with different eyes
Everything seems different now
Am I awake




Everything seems different now
I am awake

Overall Meaning

In the song "Awake" by Evelyn Grace, the lyrics explore the feeling of awakening from a state of numbness and finding oneself in a new perspective. The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer admitting that she forgot about something important, and it "vanished in the wind." The second stanza shifts to the present, and she wonders if she's finally awake and if others see her differently now. The repeated line "everything seems different now" emphasizes this new perspective and possibly a feeling of confusion that comes with it. The third stanza poses a question about her behavior and if it's rooted in missing something from the past. And yet even as she searches for answers, the key that she holds doesn't guide her. The final stanza brings the song full circle, as she repeats the line "everything seems different now" and declares that she's awake.



Overall, the lyrics describe a moment of self-discovery and transformation, as the singer realizes that she's been living blindly or numbly and has finally woken up to her true self. She questions her past, but also acknowledges her present strength and possibly a sense of release. It's a thoughtful and introspective song that many listeners can relate to.
