AWAKENING
J. bit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All around you the signals arrive, from the seas to the sky
Most will only perceive what they're told to believe, forever deceived
But some can see between the lines, all there is to reveal
Hold, hold on to me, I am the truth undefeatable I'll set you free
You'll be told that the ground's spinning round, not to trust what you feel
You'll be taught all the answers were found, keep your questions concealed
It's all inside-out and upside down, only deceit they deal
Fall, worship the ghouls, crawl, dance like a fool
Tighten the rope round your neck as you plough like their mule
Tumbling down, deep down the rabbit hole, what you know
You can't explain, but you've felt it your whole life
Something is wrong with the world, don't quite know what it is
Splinters that lodged in your mind driving you insane
Do you know what I'm talking 'bout?
The matrix is everywhere, it's all around us, you see it
You feel it, the world that's been pulled over your eyes to
Blind you from truth, you're slaves, born into bondage
A prison without walls exists in your mind, listen now
Don't be feared question everything
All the days of all your life, stabbed with deceit as they twist in the knife
Everything you were taught to think true now turned out to be lies
I am the truth undefeatable I'll set you free
No-one can ever be told what to see, you have to see yourself
Once you awaken there's no turning back, you can't un-see the spell
You're not just a meaningless morphed ape on a ball
Hurtling through endless worlds innumerable
We're not insignificant cosmic accident
To know our reality they have to prevent
Fall, worship the ghouls, crawl, dance like a fool
Tighten the rope round your neck as you plough like their mule
Fall, hook line and spool, as you dance on the graves of
All those the ghouls fooled before you, listen now
Once you awaken you can't un-know what you know
Now it explains what you've felt for your whole life,
Everything wrong with the world, now you know what it is
Splinters removed from your mind now at last you feel sane
Do you know what I'm talking 'bout?
The matrix is everywhere, it's all around us, you see it
You feel it, the world that's been pulled over your eyes to
Blind you from truth, you're slaves, born into bondage
A prison without walls exists in your mind, listen now
All the days of all your life, the ground stood still all day all night
Everything you were taught to think wrong now turned out to be right
Don't be feared question everything
Hold, hold on to me, I am the truth undefeatable (truth undefeatable)
I'll set you free, I'll set you free, truth undefeatable
Hold on to me, undefeatable, I'll set you free, listen now
J. bit's song "Awakening" is a powerful message about the importance of questioning everything and seeking the truth in a world full of deception. The lyrics describe how from the moment we are born until the day we die, we are bombarded with signals and information that shape our beliefs and understanding of the world around us. However, the majority of people simply accept what they are told without questioning it, leading to a lifetime of being deceived. The song encourages listeners to see between the lines and awaken to the truth that has been hidden from them.
The lyrics are also a commentary on the concept of the Matrix, a metaphor for the illusion created by those in power to keep people enslaved and unaware of their true potential. The song describes how we are born into a prison without walls in our minds, and how the world has been pulled over our eyes to blind us from the truth. However, once we awaken to the reality of the situation and begin to question everything we have been taught, we can break free and see the world in a new light.
In essence, "Awakening" is a call to action for listeners to question their beliefs, seek the truth, and refuse to be deceived by those in power. It is a powerful and thought-provoking song that encourages listeners to take control of their lives and break free from the chains of ignorance and deception.

A jail lies within your thoughts, and you must take heed
Fall, worship the ghouls, crawl, dance like a fool
Subject to their authority, acting like a fool while worshipping their depravity
Tighten the rope round your neck as you plough like their mule
As you work under their control, they suffocate and stifle you
Fall, hook line and spool, as you dance on the graves of

Blind you from truth, you're slaves, born into bondage
You understand that it has blinded you from the truth and held you captive from birth
A prison without walls exists in your mind, listen now
There's a jail inside your psyche that you must now address
All the days of all your life, the ground stood still all day all night
All moments throughout your existence, the earth remained motionless
Everything you were taught to think wrong now turned out to be right
All the things you were told were false are proven to be genuine
Don't be feared question everything
Do not be afraid to inquire about everything and challenge the status quo
Hold, hold on to me, I am the truth undefeatable (truth undefeatable)
It's vital to secure the truth, as it is unshakeable
I'll set you free, I'll set you free, truth undefeatable
The truth will emancipate you
Hold on to me, undefeatable, I'll set you free, listen now
Grasp onto the fact that the truth is unyielding and that it will unshackle you, and be attentive

I love the subtle touch of having Zoe's sprite printed directly onto the PCB, and having it viewable through the frosted cartridge.
@Daniel-it1dp
Yeah, that’s a touch that has me contemplating getting the cart over the ROM/digical version
@soulden77
Thanks for showing this off. I know it’s probably sponsored but this is absolutely my kind of jam. You have my permission to show any and all modern NES games (Not that you needed it haha). Awesome! I love the music in this game!
@JohnRiggs
If it was sponsored I would have had to have said so in the beginning, but they did send me this rom so I could do the video.
@soulden77
@@JohnRiggs gotcha! Thanks for the video!
@CommodoreGreg
I had paused it right as you were saying "parker" and I said to myself "if he says Lewis I going to laugh my +×÷= off". You said "Lewis". Well done sir!
@3to5andglassy
Played both of the games and thought they were damn good. Another fantastic gem is Cathedral.

I love the new NES Cartridge games. The new cartridges are super fun. Even the Genesis stuff and SNES stuff is cool.
