Phase debuted in 2008 with their digital single Perdition under Microsoft’s “Playlist Seven” campaign for the release of Windows 7, which was followed by two full-length albums – In Consequence and the Wait. They got airplay on BBC6 by their prolific DJ Tom Robinson, while they’ve featured in Billboard, having #42 in the ‘Uncharted’ chart and as #12 in the ‘Fastest Rising Act’ chart. From all the safe territories in the world, Phase has performed in Syria, and are said to be the second international rock act, after the Gorillaz, ever to play there.
The band has shared stages with various artists some of which had some evident impact on their style like Jeff Martin (The Tea Party), Anneke van Giersbergen & Danny Cavanagh (Anathema & The Gathering), Sivert Høyem (madrugada), Antimater and many more. The band is stated by reviewers and critics to play within the genres of alternative rock, Psychedelic rock, progressive punk, post punk, goth rock, post-grunge, space rock, and electro rock. And as of today, they are on their songwriting retreat in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK aiming to the release of their upcoming works.

Wake Up Call
Phase Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope you won't break when you fall
Your eyes must see, the tendencies
The hidden truths washed off the sea
Hear me, don't fear (of) me
It's grown in size, you've circumcised -
Your dreams - were exchanged with cheap lies
You lived your years beneath your fears
No more to cry reptilian tears
Deal with me, don't kill me
Take your hands from my wounds and heal me
Hear me, don't fear (of) me
I'm just a friend you've long forgot
Sweet sound pleases my soul
Thank God for the wake up call
It's time to wake, the spell to break
No more the sense of real to shake
It's time to rise go wash your eyes
And witness how your false self dies
Grow strong stand tall
Un-pause your life start to roll
The sound pleases my soul
Thank God for the wake up call
The lyrics of Phase's song Wake Up Call are a call to action, urging listeners to awake from their slumber and confront the hidden truths that they have ignored for too long. The opening lines speak of a wake-up call that will shock everyone and tests their ability to endure the fall. The singer then asks the listeners to open their eyes to the tendencies and the hidden truths that have been washed away by the sea, implying that they have been staying in denial for far too long.
The second verse is an emotional plea from a forgotten friend who has been circumcised from the growth of his dreams and exchanged them with cheap lies. The singer expects the listeners to confront their fears and heal the wounds they have inflicted on him. The plea is both raw and emotional and is intended to convey the importance of a wake-up call in our lives.
The chorus is a manifestation of hope and rebirth. The sweet sound that pleases the soul is a symbol of the newfound strength and confidence that comes from recognizing the wake-up call. The song then ends with an exhortation to rise, grow strong, stand tall, and start to roll, implying the necessity to get over our fears and limitations to achieve our true potential.
