Awake
Silke Mastbooms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems like each and every time, you run away
I'm trying to read between the lines, your eyes are vacant
The walls are caving in, but don't break
Now when I speak and call your name, you always fade.
See every time I try to open up your heart,
You're not awake, never awake
Into the space of heartbreak
I won't give up on you,
I'm gonna stay till you awake.
Doesn't matter how long it has to take,
For you to pray, to be awake
Now you finally understand, it's not the end
I'm here to help you trough this circumstance
You don't need to hide away, cause I'm here waiting
Holding on the hope that you come back to me
And I'll help you work it out, don't be afraid
See every time I try to open up your heart,
You're not awake, never awake
Makes me wonder if you're falling down too far,
Into the space of heartbreak
I won't give up on you,
I'm gonna stay till you awake.
Doesn't matter how long it has to take,
For you to pray, to be awake
And when you finally come around,
You will realize that love was here for you all along
I'm here to turn your world around
You'll be assured that you're not on your own,
You'll never be alone
See every time I try to open up your heart,
You're not awake, never awake
Makes me wonder if you're falling down too far,
Into the space of heartbreak
See every time I try to open up your heart,
You're not awake, never awake
Makes me wonder if you're falling down too far,
Into the space of heartbreak
I won't give up on you,
I'm gonna stay till you're awake.
Doesn't matter how long it has to take,
For you to pray, to be awake
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

The singer is trying to read between the lines to understand what the other person is going through. They want to open up their heart, but the person is not awake and is falling too far into the space of heartbreak. Despite this, the singer won't give up on them and will stay until they wake up. The singer wants them to realize that love was always there for them, and they don't have to be alone.
The song is a beautiful and emotional ballad that displays Silke Mastbooms's powerful vocals. It's about helping someone overcome their emotional struggles and working towards a brighter future. It's about not giving up on someone and being there for them until they're able to wake up.
