Awake
Red Sun Rising Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To gain some traction here
A chain reaction telling me
If this is all it will ever be
Mistakes I made in theory
I need to clear the air
Embrace the fear, afraid to know
If this is all it will ever be
I watched the rain erase us all
Through the eyes of a waterfall
I bought the rights to own the air
So I can steal you, the breath from me
I will break your fall
And I will make you stay awake
I'll stay, awake, this is all that I'll ever be
Awake, I'll stay, awake, this is all that I'll ever be
What insecurity chose
But too polite to share
It always makes sense when not aware
That this is all that you'll ever be
It took the crack of a smile
To turn my head and stare
It made me forget what came to be
I'm not to you what you are to me
I watched the rain erase us all
Through the eyes of a waterfall
I bought the rights to own the air
So I can steal you, the breath from me
I will break your fall
And I will make you stay
Awake, I'll stay, awake, this is all that I'll ever be
Awake, I'll stay, awake, this is all that I'll ever be
And later down the line
You'll figure out
It's easier to hide
Lay it on the line
And figure out
It's easier to lie
Awake, I'll stay, awake, this is all that I'll ever be
Awake, I'll stay, awake, this is all that I'll ever be
This is all that I'll ever be, this is all
that I'll ever be
In "Awake" by Red Sun Rising, the lyrics explore the theme of self-discovery and the search for security, both externally and internally. The first lines express the need for security in order to move forward and gain some traction in life. The next few lines speak of a chain reaction that tells the singer that this may be all there is to life. The singer reflects on past mistakes and explains that they need to clear the air to move forward. They are afraid of embracing their fear because they are not sure if this is all that life has to offer.
The chorus speaks of watching everything get erased by the rain and through the point of view of a waterfall. The singer has bought the rights to own the air to be able to breathe in the same air as their loved one. They will be the one to break their loved one's fall and they will make them stay awake. The repetition of "awake" emphasizes the importance of staying present and being aware.
Later in the song, the lyrics express that it is easier to hide and lie, but it is better to lay everything out on the line to figure out who you truly are. The final lines repeat the phrase "this is all that I'll ever be," indicating that the singer has come to accept themselves and their limitations.
Overall, Red Sun Rising's "Awake" speaks of the importance of self-discovery, accepting oneself, and being present in the moment.
