This song expresses what it feels like to be "awake" in this world. It explains what a person goes through inside when you "wake up" to the harsh reality that everything we were taught about life and what we know about ourselves, is a lie. The person in the song understands that he isn't who he thought he was in life anymore, and he knows deep down that he's been living a lie his entire life. He wanted to learn the truth at the moment, but he never asked for the burden that it carry's by knowing it. He's is trying to fight the awakening process that one goes through when you learn who we are on the deepest level. He's trying to forget the things that he understands the most about himself, because it makes him feel disconnected from the rest of society. He used to naturally just "want" to fit in, but the truth that he learned has awoken a side of him that can't live in the reality of the old person he used to be. That side of him is the monster that wants to be set free, but he is scared to leg go of the old him, because of the way people might judge him. He's not ready for the world to see who he truly is just yet, and the more he trys to hide it the more the monster inside of him wants to come out. Its hard for people to learn about the truth and then just go about their lives like nothing ever happened. Once you become spiritually awake, its hard to look at life from the same perspective that you used to. Your soul wants to be set free at this point, and the more you keep it trapped inside, then the more it begs to come out. Most people subconsciously keep that monster inside because they've never met that side of them yet. But if when you are consciously aware of that monster inside of you, then its hard to fight it. The key to letting that monster out is to let go of everything that limits you from expressing what your true beliefs are. Accept losing everything you ever knew, and begin to grow into your true Divine self. |
