Careful waking up the giants
He's a big man and a better man than I am
He'll rise up when we hear the sirens
Where's the truth when your heart's not lying?

I believe that the end's not dying
I only listen to the wind when it's crying

We're the rhythm of the darkest nights
We're the truth that's been left unspoken
We're the shadows far beyond the lights
We're waking, waking, waking up the giants

Sail away, the water's rising
Leaving our progress behind us
Right before we fail, we'll find it
Right behind the storm it was hiding

I believe that the end's not dying
I only listen to the wind when it's crying

We're the rhythm of the darkest nights
We're the truth that's been left unspoken
We're the shadows far beyond the lights
We're waking, waking, waking up the giants
We're the rhythm of the darkest nights
We're the truth that's been left unspoken
We're the shadows far beyond the lights
We're waking, waking, waking up the giants

Waking up the giants
Waking up the giants
Waking, waking, waking up the giants
Waking, waking, waking up the giants

We're the rhythm of the darkest nights
We're the truth that's been left unspoken
We're the shadows far beyond the lights
We're waking, waking, waking up the giants
We're the rhythm of the darkest nights
We're the truth that's been left unspoken
We're the shadows far beyond the lights
We're waking, waking, waking up the giants
Waking, waking, waking up the giants
Waking, waking, waking up the giants

    I don't know if Grizfolk as a band or any members are Christians, but I can't help but seeing some religious tones in this song. Love the lyrics to this song and I feel it is one of the strongest on the new album and should have been the opener. You can take this song as deep as you want, but if you want to really get to the core I personally feel that "the Giant(s)" this song refers to is God.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
