What would you do if you had one chance – a chance to make a difference, to make a change? Therein lies a moment of clarity found only from an awakening within. Would you make the most of this waking moment? This moment is, for all of us – Our Waking Hour
The concept of a movement was conceived nearly three years ago. Our Waking Hour came together to create music that would have a lasting effect on listener’s emotions. The band strives to write songs that deliver a positive message of hope. Blending modern rock/alternative with hard rock, Our Waking Hour’s music has been compared to bands such as Red, 30 Seconds to Mars, Evans Blue, Linkin Park and more. Despite the comparisons, Our Waking Hour retains a sound all their own.
Our Waking Hour hails from San Antonio Texas, a city known more for its metal/thrash metal scene than modern/alternative rock. To this challenge, the band came up with a different strategy for carving out their niche. A decision was made early on to finish a full length album before playing any shows. An EP would not do. Their diligence paid off with the release of the debut album titled ‘Seconds To Save Her’. The title alluding to a point at which one acts upon their waking moment to save ‘her’. ‘Her’ referencing ones own life or another.
The band recorded the album at AMH Studios, which is operated by Aaron Harvey, the band’s drummer. Aaron engineered and helped produce the album with the band’s guitarist Erik Seime. Throughout the recording process, Our Waking Hour released a few songs to social media sites – a move that proved to be effective at grabbing listener’s attention. ‘Seconds To Save Her’ was released on iTunes June 14th 2011 to anxious fans in the United States as well as over 14 other countries world wide
The Secret
Our Waking Hour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was always weak (You have secrets)
I'll never see
You had your head up high
And you were crushing down, pretending to fly
And this is not the way it was meant to be
I feel like whole world turned it's back on me
Losing the fight in the first round
You display love it's the dream that falls apart
Emotion lost down deep in your heart
I'm losing you, I don't feel strange
The fire fils up your soul
Get up and burn away
And this is not the way it was meant to be
I feel like whole world turned it's back on me
It hurt so bad to know that you're falling down
Losing the fight in the first round
Don't say that there's not a way
Don't say that there's not a way
I know that yo have the strength
Get back, get back NOW
(Losing the fight in the first round)
(Losing the fight in the first round)
And this is not the way it was meant to be
I feel like whole world turned it's back on me
It hurt so bad to know that you're falling down
Losing the fight in the first round
And this is not the way (Not the Way)
It was meant to be
It hurt so bad to know that you're falling down
Losing the fight in the first round
In "The Secret" by Our Waking Hour, the singer sings about a once-strong person who is now struggling and falling apart. The song explores the disappointment and pain that can come from seeing someone you love struggle and feeling powerless to help them. The singer laments that things were not meant to be this way, and they feel like they have been abandoned by the world. The lyrics are highly emotional and convey a sense of frustration and sadness.
The line "You have secrets" adds an interesting layer to the song. It suggests that the singer may not fully understand what is going on with the other person, and that there may be underlying factors that are contributing to their struggles. This makes the situation even more difficult to deal with, as the singer is not sure how to help or even what the problem is.
Overall, "The Secret" is a powerful song that deals with themes of love, loss, and the challenges of watching someone you care about struggle. The lyrics capture the emotions of the situation and convey a sense of longing and sadness.

LYRICS:
you were always stronger
I was always weak (you have secrets)
that I`ll never see
you held your head up high,
Yet you were crashing down
pretending to fly
and this is not the way it was meant to be
I feel like the world turned your back on me
it hurts so bad to know that you`re falling down
losing the fight in the final round
you display love, it`s the dream that falls apart
emotion lost down deep in your heart
I`m losing you lost hope and strength
fire flares from the soul
get up and pull through
and this is not the way it was meant to be
I feel like the world turned your back on me
it hurts so bad to know that you`re falling down
losing the fight in the final round
don`t say that there`s not a way
don`t say that there`s not a way
I know that you have the strength
get back, get back now
(losing the fight in the final round)
(losing the fight in the final round)
and this is not the way it was meant to be
I feel like the world turned your back on me
it hurts so bad to know that you`re falling down
losing the fight in the final round
and this is not the way (this is not the way)
that it`s meant to be (meant to be)
it hurts so bad to know how you`re falling down
lost in a secret and can`t be found.
