Awake
We Are Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You gotta turn your back

Turn your back on your habits
Which clearly make you sick

Step right up
On your effort
It's the only way stay awake

Now
Breaking out of this paralyzing daydream
Now
You'll feel like you have never been suffering

This paralyzing daydream
Which kept you suffering

But for one last time

Be the reason to move on
Make yourself believe
You will not
Stop for
Anything
Standing in your way

Is there a reason
You have chosen
Not to have any hope

Is there a purpose
You have followed
A vision with no goals

You're breaking out of this paralyzing daydream
Now
You'll feel like you have never been suffering

I only wanted to know
How to take life all on my own
I want to be where i've never been
I have been sleeping
But now i'am awake

Now i'am
Dreaming all my life

You will not
Stop for
Anything standing in your way

If you stop dreaming
Of recieving
A better life without pushing yourself

When your surroundings
Still condemn you
This one's for you not for anyone else

Leave this daydream behind
Now
For all this time you must have been blind

I only wanted to know
How to take life all on my own
I want to be where i've never been
I have been sleeping
But now i'am awake





Turn your back
