Awake
Tucandeo feat. Molly Bancroft Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You hold me in your arms
So tightly that I can barely breathe
Now I can't see myself
'Cause you stole me away

Water rushing, feel the walls coming down
Fire burning, all the trees all around
And you are there walking down this road again
Walking down the road again
'Cause flames are closing in
Flames are closing in

All I needed was freedom, was freedom, was freedom I am awake
Pulled me out of the sunlight, buried me in a cave
I am awake
Suddenly I feel alive today
I am awake
All I needed was freedom so I can breathe again
I am awake
Now I finally escaped you (escaped you )
I am awake
All I needed was freedom, was freedom, was freedom I am awake
Pulled me out of the sunlight, buried me in a cave
I am awake
Suddenly I feel alive today
I am awake
All I needed was freedom so I can breathe again
I am awake
Now I finally escaped you (escaped you )
All I needed was freedom so I can breathe again
Suddenly I feel alive again





I am awake
