Awake

Well, i don’t know how to explain this but when i think about freedom
I am sure that i will die for it

The fence is broken baby
The dream is gone and you’re alone
Lying beside the bed
Time to wake you up
Time to regain your mind
You’re awake

It was a crazy night
And you’re alive, you’re still alive
Take your dreams and all your lies
Take your leather bag and run to the yard

Outside, your life is calling
You’re still alive, you’re still alive
Once again, the road is hurting
You’re still alive, you’re still alive my friend
You’re awake

Why are you feeling down
You can always win the fight

The dream is over lady
The gun is here, the gun is here
Lying beside the door
Time to pick it up
Time to regain your love

Outside, your life is calling
You’re still alive, you’re still alive
Once again, the road is hurting
You’re still alive

Why are you feeling down




You can always, always win the fight
Awake !

Line by Line Meaning

Well, i don't know how to explain this but when i think about freedom
I can't quite find the words to describe it, but when I contemplate the concept of freedom


I am sure that i will die for it
I am absolutely convinced that I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect it


The fence is broken baby
The barrier that once confined us has been shattered, my love


The dream is gone and you're alone
The vision we once held together has faded away, and now you find yourself isolated


Lying beside the bed
You are laying dormant, resting at the side of the bed


Time to wake you up
It's time to rouse you from your slumber


Time to regain your mind
It's time to reclaim your mental clarity


You're awake
You've emerged from your sleep, and are now alert


It was a crazy night
The previous evening was tumultuous


And you're alive, you're still alive
Despite the chaos, you've made it through and continue to exist


Take your dreams and all your lies
Grab hold of your aspirations and all of the falsehoods you've allowed yourself to believe


Take your leather bag and run to the yard
Scoop up your satchel made of animal hide and hurry to the open space outside the building


Outside, your life is calling
Your existence beyond the confines of this space is beckoning you


Once again, the road is hurting
The path ahead is not without its obstacles and difficulties


You're still alive, you're still alive my friend
You haven't succumbed to the adversity you've encountered, and are still here with me


Why are you feeling down
What's causing you to experience such melancholy


You can always win the fight
Remember, you have the power to emerge victorious from any challenge


The dream is over lady
What we envisioned together before is no more, my dear


The gun is here, the gun is here
A weapon is now present, and must be dealt with


Lying beside the door
The firearm is resting near the entrance


Time to pick it up
The instrument of violence must be seized


Time to regain your love
You must reclaim the love and compassion that may have waned within you


You can always, always win the fight
Don't forget, you have the strength and capability to overcome any opposition, always


Awake !
Be alert, stay vigilant, and remain present in this moment
