"Now Awakened" is a Dark Punk Rock Pop anthem about the heartbreak of taking the people we love for granted — and the painful clarity that comes only when we lose them.
The song delves into the disconnect we sometimes feel with those closest to us, the moments we fail to fully see them or cherish them, and the aching realization that comes too late. With haunting lyrics and a driving rhythm, it captures the raw journey of regret, loss, and ultimately awakening to what truly matters.

Lyrics:
When they cried I wore a grin
When they laughed I mourned within
When they danced I took my seat
When they sat I moved my feet
When they loved I walked away
When they left I wished they'd stay
They searched for light I found the shade
In their warmth I felt the fade
Aaaah ahh ahh
Aaaah ahh ahh
They wept in sorrow I felt no ache
They laughed with joy I chose no break
Aaaah ahh ahh
Aaaah
I’m the shadow in their glow
Slipping back as they let go
They move I stand I slip away
In their dawn I fade to stray
They’re the faces in the crowd
Voices sure unshaken loud
I watch them fade like fading ghosts
Lost to shadows I fear most
They’re
The whispers in the halls
Ripples rising silent calls
Chasing dreams that never tire
While I burn in quiet fire
I’m the shadow in their glow
Slipping back as they let go
They move I stand I slip away
In their dawn I fade to stray
Aaaah haa haa
Aaaah haa haa
Am I the murmur lost in the air
A restless flame or a quiet despair
Did they vanish without a sign
Or did I fail to find what's mine
At last the truth begins to show
The picture clears and I now know
Aaaah ahh
Aaaah ahh
The silence speaks the noise does creep
I find my truth no longer asleep
They closed their eyes as I would weep
In their death I woke from deep
Aaaah ahh ahh
As I have now awakened
As I have now Aaaah
Aaaah ahh ahh
As I have now
Aaaah ahh ahh
As I have now awakened
Aaaah
Aaaah
Mama
This song is a reminder of how fragile our connections can be and how vital it is to hold onto the people we love while they are still here. It’s about the pain of realizing too late and the bittersweet awakening that follows.
"Now Awakened" is for anyone who’s ever wished they could go back and hold on tighter, love more fiercely, and appreciate the moments that seemed small but meant everything.
I’d love to hear how this song resonates with you and the stories it brings to mind.
