Awaken
Novembers Doom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My eyes open with dawn. The sun shines on my face. I will die someday, until that day, I embrace the knowing.




Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the Novembers Doom's song Awaken depict a sense of acceptance of one's mortality. The mention of "dawn" and "sun" may symbolize the beginning of something new, possibly a new day or a new phase in life. The line "I will die someday" highlights the inevitability of death and how it's a fate that no one can escape. However, the next line "until that day, I embrace the knowing" signifies the willingness of the singer to acknowledge their eventual death and to make the most of the time they have left. In other words, the singer is choosing to live life to the fullest, knowing that their time is limited.


The song goes on to explore themes of despair, loss, and isolation. The lyrics paint a picture of a world devoid of hope and light. The mention of "darkness" and "emptiness" further emphasize the sense of isolation and hopelessness. However, the song ends on a note of resilience, with the promise that even in the bleakest of moments, there is a glimmer of hope that can be found. The final lines of the song "I will be reborn, from the ashes of my life, I will awaken" signify a rebirth, a new beginning. It's an expression of hope and a belief that even after facing the worst of circumstances, one can rise again.
