Awake
P.S.I. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reveal to me, the mystery
Can you tell me what it means?
Explain, these motions and metaphors
Unlock these secrets in me
Describe the vision, the meaning is missing
Oh, anybody listen?
Define, the riddles of my mind
Nothing is really what it seems

Dreaming of Zion awake
Sleeping awake
Dreaming of Zion awake
Can't stop sleeping awake

Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop sleeping awake
Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop sleeping

Can you see it, the writing?
Can you tell me what it means?
Translate, the symbol's enigma
Expressions keep questioning me
The message is written
The meaning is missing
Oh, anybody listen?
Prophecy, interpreting the signs
Nothing is really what it seems

Dreaming of Zion awake
Sleeping awake
Dreaming of Zion awake
Can't stop sleeping awake

Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop sleeping awake
Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop sleeping awake

Do you see, what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
And can you dream like I dream?

Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Do you dream like I dream?
Anybody see me?
Anybody hear me?
Anybody feel me?
Anybody out there?

Dreaming of Zion awake
Sleeping awake
Dreaming of Zion awake
Can't stop sleeping awake

Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop sleeping awake
Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop sleeping awake

Anybody see me?
Anybody hear me?




Anybody feel me?
Anybody out there?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of P.S.I's song "Awake" seek to unravel a mysterious vision that the singer seems compelled to understand. The singer is seeking help to uncover the meaning of this vision through the use of symbolism and metaphors, which are currently not making sense. The vision seems to relate to Zion, which is mentioned several times in the lyrics. The singer is dreaming of Zion while awake, unable to shake off the vision that haunts them. The lyrics seem to speak to the human desire for understanding, to uncover hidden meanings, and to connect with something profound, even if that something lies just beyond our grasp.


The repeated phrase "Dreaming of Zion awake, sleeping awake," is particularly intriguing. It seems to express a state of being in which the singer is simultaneously dreaming and awake, or sleeping and awake, blurring the boundaries between these states of consciousness. The reference to Zion could relate to a particular place or metaphorical paradise, a symbol of a spiritual goal or aspiration. The singer may be yearning for a deeper understanding or spiritual connection that lies beyond their grasp.


Overall, the lyrics of "Awake" speak to the human longing for understanding and connection. The imagery of the song seems to suggest that the vision sought by the singer is tantalizingly close but always just out of reach. Through the use of symbolism and metaphor, the lyrics both evoke and frustrate our desire for deeper understanding.
