Awakening - Asylum

Copied!edit Lyrics

Hid in the Asylum
Waiting on the Lord
Needle's at the front desk
But it never takes that long

Judas of confessions
Broken on my knees
Down on medication
Innocent but always losing sleep

I wait alone

All the lights are turned on
Scalpel in the hand
A minor indiscretion
I feel the harness tightening

Analyse my breathing
The company I keep
Prostitutes and Presidents
Are here in the Asylum losing sleep

I wait alone
Alone

I'm letting go
I'm coming home
Hid in the Asylum
Waiting on the Lord
Needle's at the front desk
But it nevеr takes that long
In the Asylum

I'm letting go
I'm coming homе
I'm letting go

edit soundcloud

Awakening's song "Asylum" paints a haunting picture of a person trapped in a mental health facility, feeling isolated and alone. The lyrics speak of waiting on the Lord, confessing sins, and feeling the tightening harness of their struggles. The protagonist is surrounded by a mix of individuals, from prostitutes to presidents, all struggling with their own demons. The repetition of "I wait alone" emphasizes the sense of isolation and desperation. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the chorus as the protagonist declares they are letting go and coming home. The juxtaposition of darkness and light in the lyrics creates a powerful and emotional journey for the listener.
