| The Band – When You Awake Lyrics | 12 years ago |

Seems like he's getting advice from his grandpa who is near death. I think "awaking" here is death. When you die you "relieve your soul" which you were born with, and unfortunately, you'll never really get to know yourself, spiritually or something. The thing with the hanging by a string, I'm not sure I get that one, is he talking about literally being hanged? But from the last verse, I think the message is pretty clearly to live every day like it could be your last, etc., and the last line about Moses, I thinking he's saying he doesn't really care about religion. I think that's kinda cool, since it's a pretty gospel chorus; the juxtaposition is interesting. |
