Awaken
Lynch Pilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your bliss
Your hush
The feel
I long
To touch
Unbroken light surrounds you
You awaken me
To life that I have to breathe
You awaken me
So I'm holding you
Holding you endlessly
The warmth
The sun
The crush
Your look
The wait
Too much
The flame of life within you
That fills my eyes
You awaken me
To life that I have to breathe
You awaken me
So I'm holding you
Holding you endlessly
The Lynch Pilson song "Awaken" is a deeply emotional exploration of the power of love and connection. The lyrics describe the intense yearning of the singer to be close to their loved one, to touch them and feel their warmth. The presence of the beloved is depicted as a source of unbroken light, bringing new life to the singer and inspiring them to breathe and live fully. The use of palpable, sensory words like "bliss," "hush," and "crush" helps to create an intimate, authentic atmosphere that makes the emotional impact of the song all the more powerful.
The repetition of the phrase "you awaken me" reinforces the idea that it is the presence of the beloved that is responsible for the singer's newfound sense of vitality and purpose. The way the lyrics move from describing the singer's longing in the first stanza to the intense love and connection they feel in the second stanza creates a sense of transformation and healing. Through this transformation, the singer seems to find a new sense of meaning and purpose in life, expressed through the tender image of holding their loved one endlessly.
