AWAKENING
Stormfolk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am losing my mind
I've tried my hardest to find
A song I'm destined to write
Break me from this mold
Don't let my body grow old
It's burning inside my soul
I will sing or die writing a song
So unleash the beast that sits in your belly
Don't feed it with hatred and greed
Give a shout (Hey!) For the joy
That you will be spreading
You are only awakening
You are only awakening
Over and over I've tried
To conquer the things I can't climb
But now it's all over
And I've grown ten years older
Take a leap, spread your wings, and you'll fly Whoa whoa
Oh my soul
You're awakening
I will stand and sing
And my heart's on fire
Breaking out
It is not contained
I won't be afraid
Of my heart's desire
Oh my soul
You're awakening
I will stand and sing
And my heart's on fire
Breaking out
It is not contained
I won't be afraid
Of my heart's desire
Oh my soul
You're awakening
I will stand and sing
And my heart's on fire
Breaking out
It is not contained
I won't be afraid
Of my heart
So unleash the beast that sits in your belly
Don't feed it with hatred and greed
Give a shout for the love
That you will be spreading
You are only awakening
You are only awakening
The lyrics of "Awakening" by Stormfolk convey a message of self-discovery and the pursuit of one's passion in life. The song begins by expressing inner turmoil, as the singer feels they are losing their mind and struggling to find their purpose. They urge themselves to break free from the constraints of conformity and not let their body grow old before finding the song they are destined to write. The repeated refrain of "hey, hey, hey" serves as a call to action, a reminder to unleash the passion within and pursue one's dreams. The idea of unleashing the beast in one's belly is metaphorical for overcoming fear and doubt and taking risks.
The second half of the song speaks to the idea of transformation and growth. The singer has tried and failed to conquer the challenges in their life, but now they are ready to take a leap and spread their wings to fly. The repetition of "oh my soul, you're awakening" emphasizes the idea of inner awakening and finding one's true self. The lyrics encourage the listener to stand and sing, letting their heart's desire guide them and not be afraid of their passion. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the idea that the listener is only awakening, and there is so much more to discover and pursue in life.
