Hey, King!

Morning

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

(Verse 1)
The time has come, don't wait no more
Opportunity is knocking at your door
You might think that you missed the start
But the spirit never left your heart
(Chorus)
'Cause we say, better late than never
Stand up strong and fight forever
We can make the change, we can win the race
Right now, right here, in this place!
(Verse 2)
The past is gone, the future's bright
Let's step into the shining light
It's never too late to start anew
Believe in me, believe in you
(Chorus)
'Cause we say, better late than never
Stand up strong and fight forever
We can make the change, we can win the race
Right now, right here, in this place!
(Bridge)
Forget the doubt, forget the fear
Your finest hour is finally here
(Chorus)
'Cause we say, better late than never
Stand up strong and fight forever
We can make the change, we can win the race
Right now, right here, in this place!
(Outro)
Better late than never, we're here to stay
We are the champions today!

Better late than never
