awakening
Waylander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eminating from the land
Only true kindred spirits
May even hope to understand
A voice I hear which is calling out to me
A message all around when my mind is free
Speaking in whispers thrown from the wind
Haunted by the canopy of green
I blaze of blue and emerald fire
A finer sight I've rarely seen
And I dine on awe alone
Swirling ashadows
Dance upon the water still
And sky and cloud vie for prominence
On the surface calm
A lone deed
Creating ripples alike waves
And all along the surface
Now consequence in journey
I breathe I feel my lungs
I breathe I feel my soul
I breathe I fill alive
I am alive!
Green surrounds me
The wind in my hair
Fast flowing waters
The hills and the vales
Ignited by passion
Most purent by far
My life I now fashion
I live for his hour
Free to live
Free to roam
Free to think
Free as the wind
Elation I peel
So hard to comprehend
As i stand alone
Upon Anu's land
I have come home
I have been found
The way it once was
Is as it shall be
The opening lines of "Awakening" by Waylander describe the singer's connection to the land around them. They feel a "mystery" emanating from the earth and only those who are "true kindred spirits" can hope to understand it. The singer hears a "voice" calling out to them, but it is not a human voice. Rather, it is a message "thrown from the wind" and "speaking in whispers" that can only be heard when their mind is free. The lyrics suggest a deep spiritual connection with the natural world, and the sense that there is a hidden wisdom within it that can only be accessed by those who are receptive to it.
The second verse of "Awakening" continues to describe the singer's experience of the natural world. They are "haunted" by the trees and surrounded by swirling shadows and calm water. The imagery in these lines is rich and sensual, evoking a sense of awe and wonder at the beauty of the natural world. The final lines of the song express a sense of homecoming and a return to a state of being that is more natural and true.
Overall, "Awakening" is a song that celebrates the connection between humans and the natural world. It suggests that there is a deep wisdom and a kind of magic that can be accessed by those who are willing to listen and attuned to the world around them.

A mistery around me
There is an enigmatic feeling surrounding me
Eminating from the land
It is coming from the earth itself
Only true kindred spirits
Only honest like-minded people
May even hope to understand
Could ever hope to understand it
A voice I hear which is calling out to me
I hear a voice calling to me
A message all around when my mind is free
When my mind is clear I sense a message all around
Speaking in whispers thrown from the wind
Whispers that come from the wind
Out from my surroundings calling out to me
Calling out to me from the surroundings
Haunted by the canopy of green
The greenery haunts me
I blaze of blue and emerald fire
There is blue and emerald light blazing from me
A finer sight I've rarely seen
I have not seen anything more beautiful than this
And I dine on awe alone
I feast on the emotion of being in awe
Swirling shadows
The shadows are swirling
Dance upon the water still
They are dancing on the still water
And sky and cloud vie for prominence
The sky and clouds are competing for attention
On the surface calm
The surface is calm
A lone deed
A singular act
Creating ripples alike waves
It creates ripples like waves
And all along the surface
All along the top of the water
Now consequence in journey
The consequences of my voyage
I breathe I feel my lungs
I take a breath and I feel my lungs
I breathe I feel my soul
I take a breath and feel my soul
I breathe I fill alive
I breathe and feel alive
I am alive!
I am alive!
Green surrounds me
I am surrounded by green
The wind in my hair
Wind in my hair

Fast-moving water

Passionate about what I see
Most purent by far
The purest that I have experienced so far
My life I now fashion
I fashion my own life
I live for his hour
I am living in this moment
Free to live
I am free to live
Free to roam
I am free to move around
Free to think
I am free to think
Free as the wind
As free as the wind
Elation I peel
I feel elation
So hard to comprehend
It is difficult to understand
As I stand alone
I am standing alone
Upon Anu's land
On the land of Anu
I have come home
I feel like I have come home
I have been found
I have been discovered
The way it once was
The way things used to be
Is as it shall be
It will always be this way
