(Spare a little of your imagination)
(Spare a little of your imagination)

Hello hollow halo, hello (can you hear them say?)
Hollow halo (can you hear them calling?)
You'll never; you'll never leave this world alone
You'll never; you'll never leave this world alone
And I've become a martyr to the stars
Become a model to the same
Side that I've been fighting
I'm still afraid to crawl
(No more pointing fingers at mistakes)
I'm drowning like a saint
(I'm here in a reflection)
I'm still afraid to fall

How do you suppose, we can light the way to get us home
What you thought was lost, now found within
Feel this weight lift
No more pointing fingers at mistakes
And I'm here in a reflection

What a way to see this thing out
What a way to lay this burden down
What a way to sing this sorrow
What a way to send this one out

Hello hollow halo
Hello hollow halo
Hello hollow halo
Hello hollow halo

And all this leads to nothing
Still this world won't wait
Complicated nothings
Still this world won't wait

What a way to see this thing out
What a way to lay your burden down
What a way to signal tragedy
Hello hollow halo

Hello hollow halo
Hello hollow halo
(Can you hear them say?)
Hello hollow halo
(Can you here them calling?)
(Still this world won't wait)
(Can you here them calling?)

(You can see all of this and watch it before your eyes
Everything owes its existence
Solely and completely to sound
Sound is a factor which holds it all together
Sound is the basis of form and shape
Spare a little of your imagination
And send it into the great voids of space
Came a sound, and matter took shape
Please watch carefully)

Sine waves and mirrors
Smoke that you inhale
Dry mouthing bitter tones
Better left unsaid
I know this will burn you
So I'll become the fire
These days will change us all

Don't you feel the same?
Don't you fear the same things?
Don't we feel the same?
Don't you fear at all?

But lately
Maybe the damage has been done
As we float away like embers
Beneath us the fire still it burns
And I don't, I don't know why
We question who we are and then we die
I guess, I'll see you when it ends
I'll see you round the bend
My sober sorry friend

Don't you feel the same
Don't we feel the same
(I guess I'll see you when it ends)
(I'll see you round the bend)
Don't you feel the same
(My sober sorry friend)

When we collide
Some say goodbye
Some save their words
Leaving no resolve
There's a break in the wall
You can feel it
It's letting us all escape
So people tell me you need
The waking day, to fall asleep
Light your way, find your place
In you

    Song Meaning

    The entire sound awake album follows a deeply anti-religious tone, hints of which can be found through their lyrics that encourage people to "wake up" and realise that religion is not true like they hoped. Hello Hollow Halo: Hello - a meeting, the sudden realisation that religion is false which seems new to the person. Hollow - no depth, the halo is hollow meaning that there is no depth to religion, it's just thrown out there without any evidence or proof. Halo - symbolises religion, the fact that the halo is hollow represents the shallowness and lack of evidence supporting religion, and how it is full of false promises. I become a martyr to the same side that I've been fighting on: May be a reference to the beliefs of terrorists or "martyrs" who conduct suicide bombings. They are only heroes to the side that they support. Here in a reflection - their efforts count for nothing, all that they become is a useless memory (reflection of their actions). Complicated Nothings Question who we are and then we die etc

    All of these are references that apply to the anti-religious tone of the album.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
