Awake
Mark & Adam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But why are my words so remote
They spill out and then it's too late
I automate myself to become fake
If only I could stay awake
If only I could stay awake
If only I could stay awake
I laugh at this speak repeatedly
We use so many words but don't say a thing
Gotta find the truth that's behind the veil
Gotta keep away this me that is so stale
If only I could stay awake
If only I could stay awake
If only I could stay awake
But sometimes I need to dream
But still I want to see
These reactions I have are not me
Just mirror images of my sleep
Yes sometimes I need to dream
But still I want to see
These reactions I have are not me
Just mirror images of my sleep
If only I could stay awake
If only I could stay awake
If only I could stay awake
The lyrics of Mark & Adam's song Awake express a sense of disconnection and emptiness despite being surrounded by people. The singer is unable to fully communicate their thoughts and feelings, leading to a sense of isolation. The repetition of the phrase "If only I could stay awake" throughout the song suggests that the singer is struggling to remain present and genuine in their interactions with others.
The line "We use so many words but don't say a thing" highlights the superficiality of many social interactions and the need to dig deeper to find true meaning and connection. The singer acknowledges the importance of honesty and authenticity ("Gotta find the truth that's behind the veil") in order to break free from the persona they have constructed.
The final repetition of "If only I could stay awake" suggests a longing for a more meaningful existence, one in which the singer is able to remain present, authentic, and engaged with the world around them.
Overall, the lyrics of Awake offer a poignant commentary on the challenges of finding true connection in an increasingly disconnected world, and the importance of remaining awake and engaged in our interactions with others.

I think I have the lyrics, since there is no comments of the lyrics of a song I would like to sing as well, along with probably a couple others.
Our lives, passing by
Like the stars in the night sky
Shining bright, like strange lights
Yeah I know we’ll be all right
And if the light should ever fade,
In the dark I’ll never be afraid
Forever you and I will never change
It’s never too late just to turn back now.
In the middle of the night when I’m lying awake,
Thinking bout all the things that we do, far away from the truth
And I say it’ll all come back around
And in the middle of the night when I’m lying awake,
Thinking bout all the things that we say, no mistakes we regret, cause it feels like we just gonna break,
It’s a long way down, to crash back into the ground
Let’s just slow things down, til it all comes back around.
The skyline is so blind, here we make sense of it all
Blurred lines, strange signs,
Got our backs up to the wall,
And if the clouds should disappear,
I know that it would take away my fear,
Forever you and I will see it clear,
It’s never too late just to turn back now.
In the of the middle of the night when I’m lying awake,
Thinking bout all the things that we do, far away from the truth
And I say it’ll all come back around,
And in the middle of the night when I’m lying awake,
Thinking bout all the things that we say, no mistakes we regret, cause it feels like we just gonna break,
It’s a long way down, to crash back into the ground
Let’s just slow things down, til it all comes back around.
