Awakening
The Damning Well Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It begins with the father of sin
I walk alone in the garden of stones
I turn into the monster within
Life is too long for me
Life is too wrong for me
'Cause there's something that
That I miss being human
I realize
That I miss being human
Nothing Times
I lose control as the story unfolds
I have been like a knife to bare skin
I walk alone like a king with no throne
I burn up from the monster within
Life is too long for me
Life is too wrong for me
'Cause there's something that
I realize
That I miss being human
I realize
That I miss being human
Nothing Times
I like hunting the pieces
I like hunting the pieces
I like hunting the pieces
'Cause I have come to need this
I like hunting the pieces
I like hunting the pieces
'Cause I have come to need this
Shell
'Cause there's something that
I realize
That I miss being human
'Cause there's something that
I realize
That I miss being human
I teach lies
That I miss being human
I teach lies
That I miss being human
I teach lies
The Damning Well's song "Awakening" is a powerful track that explores the idea of losing oneself in the darkness and becoming a "monster within." The singer is out of control and haunted by a "history untold" that begins with the "father of sin." The lyrics are full of vivid imagery, such as walking alone in a "garden of stones" and burning up from the monster within. The song touches on the feeling of being trapped and the realization that something vital is missing that can only be recaptured by embracing one's humanity.
The lyrics reveal that the singer feels as if life is too long and too wrong for him, and he has been transformed into a monster through his own actions. The use of the word "monster" can be interpreted in several ways; it can be seen as a metaphor representing the singer's inner darkness or as a physical manifestation of the negative emotions that are swallowing him up. He is aware of the change that has come over him and longs to regain his humanity.
Despite the dark and brooding tone of "Awakening," the song also offers a sense of hope. There is something within us all that craves connection and the feeling of being alive. The singer realizes that he misses being human and acknowledges that there is something he must do to reclaim the essence of his humanity.

Youtube Music is better than Spotify by leaps and bounds. With YT Music, potentially anything anyone uploads is on here. With Spotify it has to be like "official". Plus if you like a song in YT it also goes to your YT Music likes automatically. Only thing good about Spotify imo is implementation with Xbox dashboard.
