The Luminary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to hear or feel that song pounding into my soul
Again and again, it's always the sameand I have no one to blame but myself
This cold feeling that resonates throughthe ages, it means nothing to me,
I've felt it now a thousand times
Why do I have to be the one to fix your misery?
For what you've done, just leave
All the wrongs that I've had to bearput a weight on my soul that I don't know I can hold
Of who I amand who I used to be
Again and again, it's always the sameand I have no one to blame but myself
This cold feeling that resonates throughthe ages, it means nothing to me
Apologize and set your soul, set your soul free
Don't tell me you're sorry, just to put your mind at ease
I don't want to hear or feel that song pounding into my soul
Again and again, it's always the sameand I have no one to blamebut myself
The song "Awake" by The Luminary's is a powerful ballad that explores the emotions of someone who has been hurt and is being constantly reminded of that pain. The lyrics begin with a plea for the singer to be spared the apologies of their wrongdoer, as they do not offer any solace. Instead, the singer is left with a pounding feeling in their soul that resonates and brings back painful memories. The person who harmed the singer, in trying to put their mind at ease, is only adding to the singer's pain.
The song then goes on to explore the cycle of pain that the singer has been trapped in. The weight of their wrongs is suffocating, and they are constantly reminded of who they used to be and what they have done. The singer is left feeling alone, as they are the only ones responsible for fixing their own misery. They are tired of carrying the burden of their past mistakes, while also having to bear the weight of the wrongs done to them.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses a deep sense of weariness and a desire for release. They want the one who wronged them to set their soul free, to stop the cycle of pain, and to stop offering meaningless apologies. Ultimately, the song portrays the very relatable pain of feeling trapped in a cycle of hurt, with no way out.

lyrics:
Don’t tell me you’re sorry,
just to put your mind at ease
I don’t want to hear or feel that song pounding into my soul
Again and again, it's always the same
and I have no one to blame but myself
This cold feeling that resonates through the ages,
it means nothing to me,
I’ve felt it now a thousand times
Why do I have to be the one to fix your misery?
For what you’ve done, just leave
All the wrongs that I’ve had to bear
put a weight on my soul that I don’t know I can hold
Stuck in what seems to be a never ending cycle
of who I am and who I used to be
Of who I am
and who I used to be
Again and again, it's always the same
and I have no one to blame but myself
This cold feeling that resonates through the ages,
it means nothing to me
Apologize and set your soul,
set your soul free
Don’t tell me you’re sorry,
just to put your mind at ease
I don’t want to hear or feel that song pounding into my soul
Again and again, it's always the same
and I have no one to blame
but myself
