Awakening - Asylum

Copied!

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

The meaning of the song

edit description

Awakening's song "Asylum" paints a vivid picture of a place of confinement and inner turmoil. The lyrics speak of being hidden away, waiting for redemption, and feeling the weight of past mistakes. The imagery of needles, scalpel, and medication add to the sense of unease and vulnerability. The protagonist is surrounded by a mix of individuals, from the broken to the powerful, all struggling with their own demons. The chorus repeats the theme of waiting alone, feeling isolated and disconnected. However, there is also a sense of release and acceptance in the repeated lines "I'm letting go, I'm coming home," suggesting a journey towards healing and self-discovery. Overall, "Asylum" captures the complex emotions of seeking solace in a place of confinement and finding a way to break free from inner struggles.
