The Awakening is a psychological-dark, Peter Gabriel–style descent into the moment a man finally stops carrying someone else’s chaos and steps back into himself.
It’s the sound of numbness cracking, truth rising, and the old identity burning off like smoke.

Built from late-night fragments, voice-memos, and raw emotional residue, this track blends atmospheric percussion, deep breathing textures, pulse-driven synths, and tribal-cinematic rhythms.
The vocals move from whispered confession to a fully embodied reclamation — the moment the “dead man walking” becomes the man awakening.

This is the severing of the imprint.
The release of the old demon.
The rebirth into self-ownership.

A song born at 3AM, when truth doesn’t lie.

For anyone who has ever mistaken hurt for destiny, or chaos for love — this one hits deep.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

3am.
Air thick.
The room like a held breath.
I move through it like a dead man walking,
numb feet on familiar ground.
A pulse I don’t feel anymore
echoes in the edges of the dark.
She pulled the boy out of me,
but the man is the one
who has to bury what’s left.

[Pre-Chorus]

And in this stillness
I hear the truth:
I am not her storm,
not her shadow,
not her ghost.

[Chorus]

So I release this feeling.
Let it slip from my ribs,
let it fall to the floor.
No more beauty tangled in chaos.
No more hunger pretending to be love.
I step out of the dark
and back into myself.

[Verse 2]

She lit old wiring—
a spark across years
that shouldn’t have burned this bright.
I mistook the wound for the woman,
mistook the ache for fate.
But the boy she saw
is dust in my hands now.
The man remains.
And he’s done carrying fire
that only scorches.

[Pre-Chorus 2]

This numb isn’t failure.
It’s the cooling
after the fever breaks.
It’s the ground returning.

[Chorus]

So I release this feeling.
Drop the weight behind me,
walk out of the echo.
No more truth twisted by longing.
No more shadows calling my name.
I step into the cold air
alive enough to feel nothing.

[Bridge]

I forgive the boy.
I release the ghost.
I choose the quiet
that doesn’t vanish.
I choose the light
that doesn’t burn.

[Final Chorus]

I release this feeling.
I let the last ember die.
And in the stillness after—
I hear my own breath again.
I walk forward,
not whole,
but free.

The Awakening

Original Song by Talking Heads, Songwriters: Brian Eno, David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Jerry Harrison, Christopher Frantz

[intro]
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was


[Verse]
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

[Verse 2]
And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"

[Chorus 2]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

[Bridge]
Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing

[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

[Verse 3]
You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself, "My God, what have I done?"

[Chorus]
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, look where my hand was
Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

[Outro]
Same as it ever was
Here a twister comes, here comes the twister
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Once in a lifetime, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
