Awake
FyKe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I wake just before I touch the sands
Slave here to stare up at the mountains
Then I count sheep and fall asleep again
Close my eyes and count to three
Tell myself it′s just a dream
I don′t want these dreams to stop
When i'm awake this life remains here missing without trace
Don't wake me up
I haven′t had enough
We′re losing signal, fading fast
There's nothing left to chase
So close, I can feel it on my fingers
Please don′t wake up before I touch the crown
How long must we keep on down this river
Til' I arrive to walk across the ground?
Don′t wake me up
Don't wake me up
I don′t want these dreams to stop, stop...
Don't wake me up
I haven't had enough
The lyrics to Fyke's song "Awake" appear to be about the struggle and frustration of trying to achieve one's goals and dreams, but continually being just out of reach. The use of the metaphor of standing just two steps away from the destination and not being able to reach it suggests the feeling of being so close, but still so far away. The line "slave here to stare up at the mountains" could represent the feeling of being stuck and unable to move forward, while "counting sheep" could be a reference to the soothing but ultimately unproductive task of trying to sleep and forget about one's problems.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the desire to stay in the dream state, where everything seems possible and within reach, and not to be brought back to the reality of a life that feels incomplete and missing something. The line "We're losing signal, fading fast, there's nothing left to chase" could refer to a feeling of hopelessness and resignation when faced with the realization that the dreams and goals may never be fully realized.
Overall, the lyrics to "Awake" seem to capture the frustration and disillusionment that can come with pursuing one's dreams, while also highlighting the importance of holding onto hope and not giving up on those dreams.

Two steps away from my destination
I'm so close to achieving my goal
But I wake just before I touch the sands
I always wake up right before I reach my goal
Slave here to stare up at the mountains
I feel trapped and always looking up at something unattainable
Then I count sheep and fall asleep again
I try to distract myself and go back to sleep, hoping to continue my dream
Close my eyes and count to three
I try to calm myself and remind myself that it's just a dream
Tell myself it's just a dream
I try to convince myself that my aspirations are not achievable
Don't wake me up
I don't want to face reality
I don't want these dreams to stop
I don't want to give up on my dreams
When I'm awake this life remains here missing without trace
When I'm awake, I feel like I'm missing out on something important
I haven't had enough
I still want more time to chase my dreams
We're losing signal, fading fast
My motivation is slipping away quickly
There's nothing left to chase
I feel like I've lost all my opportunities to pursue my dreams
So close, I can feel it on my fingers
My goal is so close that I can almost touch it
Please don't wake up before I touch the crown
I hope I can achieve my goal before I wake up
How long must we keep on down this river
I wonder how much longer I'll have to work towards my goal
Til' I arrive to walk across the ground?
When will I finally be able to achieve my dream?
