Awakening
Hajva Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what lies in the dark
I can't see why I should even try
For so long I tried to live up
To your vision of my life
I waited through this long night
But the dawn never reached my eyes
No more shall I put my trust
In your vision of my life

All this pain, that I felt, as you shut, my world down
Day by day, it just kept, shattering my heart
What is left, broken soul, covered by jaded mind
Broken wings, yet I tried, to rise up, as a man

You made your choice, now I make mine
Life of my own, a vicious crime
All chains will fall, you wasted time
Creating your fucked up vision of my life

All this pain, that I felt, as you shut, my world down
Day by day, it just kept, shattering my heart
What is left, broken soul, covered by jaded mind
Broken wings, yet I tried, to rise up, as a man
Once I've been stripped of all my pride, but no more
As I know now what you have done to me

All this pain, that I felt, as you shut, my world down
Day by day, it just kept, shattering my heart
What is left, broken soul, covered by jaded mind
Broken wings, yet I tried, to rise up, as a man
Once I've been stripped of all my pride, but no more
As I know now what you have done to ME!





I! DON'T! CARE WHAT YOU! HAVE! DREAMT!
I'M AWAKE!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hajva's song Awakening reflect a deep sense of betrayal and disillusionment towards someone. The opening lines, "I don't know what lies in the dark, I can't see why I should even try," suggest a lack of clarity and purpose in the singer's life. The following lines reveal that the singer has been living up to someone else's vision of their life and has been waiting in the darkness for a long time for a glimpse of hope, but it never came. The lines "No more shall I put my trust in your vision of my life," clearly indicate a sense of defiance and determination to break free from this vision and lead their life on their terms.


The chorus of the song conveys a sense of pain and heartbreak that the singer has experienced due to this person's actions. The lines "All this pain that I felt as you shut my world down, day by day it just kept shattering my heart," shows how the person's actions have shattered the singer's confidence and self-esteem. However, the lines, "Broken wings, yet I tried to rise up as a man," display the singer's resilience and determination to rise above the pain and rebuild their life. The final lines of the song, "I don't care what you have dreamt, I'm awake," emphasizes the sense of freedom and empowerment the singer has gained by breaking away from the other person's vision.


Overall, "Awakening" is a powerful and emotionally charged song that showcases the complexities of human relationships and the inner strength required to break free from them.

Bardzo przyjemnie się słucha. Rytmicznie jest mega, dobra robota na perkusji. Słychać trochę ten akcent, ale i tak wokal dobrze wypada z reszta instrumentów.
