Awake and Alive
Skillet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slippin' from your arms
It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last
I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Here, right here
Right now, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
I'm at war with the world cause I
Ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what I can't be bought or sold
When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again
I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Here, right here
Right now, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
In the dark
I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever I will live for you
I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Here, right here
Right now, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
The song "Awake and Alive" by Skillet is an anthem about standing up against the world and staying true to oneself. The lyrics suggest that the world is a dark and daunting place, and it's easy to be pulled into it. However, the singer of the song is not willing to give in and lose their faith. They are determined to stay awake and fight for what they believe in.
The verses describe the struggles of maintaining faith and not giving in to the pressures of the world. The singer feels like they are slipping away, but then a renewed sense of strength comes from some external force. The chorus erupts with the singer declaring they are awake and alive, that they know what they believe in and that this is their time. They stand their ground and never back down.
The bridge brings about a sense of comfort in the chaos. They can feel the external force in their sleep and it is a reminder that they are not alone. Lastly, the song ends with the singer reaffirming their stance and standing proudly before the world, declaring that they are indeed awake and alive.
