Awake
Holy Knights Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel this ocean of blindness and madness
I can not blame anyone... else myself
I'm feeling out of place like love in a blue day
Can we decide to cross out this big haze?

We kill the emotions just because we're afraid that our fragile heart
Could become slave of too much pain
Too busy to analyze this life...

We think we're enemies
Mankind can make this true
But our spirits will raise to light the route

One day this prophecy
Will happen to unite all the truth
The meaning of life 'll be clear

We kill the emotions because we're afraid that our fragile heart
Could become slave of too much pain
Too busy to analyze this life...

I'm spending all my life
Hoping that the angels will fall down to make me free
When the light will make clear our soul
To make clear our soul
We'll be awake

We'll find a new energy
To fly away to a new world
It seems like to aspire at a reborn

One day this prophecy
Will happen to unite all the truth
The meaning of life 'll be clear

We kill the emotions because we're afraid that our fragile heart
Could become slave of too much pain
Too busy to analyze this life...
We kill the emotions because we're afraid that our fragile heart
Could become slave of too much pain
Too busy to analyze this life...

When the light will make clear our soul

Make clear our soul
Where the truth will rules

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Holy Knights' song "Awake" speak of feeling lost in a world that seems to have gone mad. The singer feels like he is out of place and compares it to "love in a blue day," which suggests that he feels isolated and hopeless. He acknowledges that he can't blame anyone but himself for feeling this way, and that he and others are inclined to suppress their emotions out of fear that it will make them susceptible to pain. However, the singer believes that if people were to unite and allow their spirits to guide them, they could find a new sense of purpose and meaning in life.

Throughout the song, there are references to prophecy and the idea that someday, all the truth will be revealed and the meaning of life will become clear. This suggests that the singer and others like him are searching for something to believe in, something that will make their struggles and pain worthwhile. The repetition of the line "We kill the emotions because we're afraid that our fragile heart/ Could become slave of too much pain/ Too busy to analyze this life..." underscores the idea that people often avoid confronting their emotions and the realities of life because it's easier to numb oneself to the pain than to face it head-on.

Ultimately, the chorus of the song is about awakening to a new reality, where the truth will reign and people will find a new energy to "fly away to a new world." The lyrics suggest that there is hope for a better tomorrow if people can learn to let go of their fears and embrace their emotions and spirits.
