"Wake As Gun" as written by and Steven John Wilson....
Man wakes up as animal
Hallucinates a fire
Man wakes up as as ghost
Bloodless but inspired
Man wakes up as music
And liberates the calm
Man wakes up as a child
And builds a bridge of charm
And the silence you keep
And I just wanna sleep
Still waiting
Man wakes up as a gun
And doesn't get the joke
Hallucinates a fire
Man wakes up as as ghost
Bloodless but inspired
Man wakes up as music
And liberates the calm
Man wakes up as a child
And builds a bridge of charm
And the silence you keep
And I just wanna sleep
Still waiting
Man wakes up as a gun
And doesn't get the joke

The last sentence is the best, because most of the people don't even know that they are doing this shit, they just live their lives. Most of them do feel that there is something wrong, but they don't know what it is and don't care (or dare) to investigate the real cause.
So the message is; don't let this world get ruined by a few deranged people; investigate the power structures and remember that you are not alone. Don't believe the lies about crazy moslims or christians, they are mothers / fathers / sons (etc. you get the point) just like you, Trapped in a land shaped by big bussiness and their governments.
To put it in 2 words; ONE LOVE!
Beautifull song btw :)
"Man wakes up as animal
Hallucinates a fire"
Divination device. Fluid following..
"Man wakes up as a ghost
Bloodless but inspired"
Point, check-out "Echoplex" by Nine Inch Nails.
"Man wakes up as a child
And builds a bridge of charm"
Unclear on device "bridge of charm" but the implication of what is allowed via travel, roots affirmed.
"And the silence you keep
And I just wanna sleep"
Denial of a shocking arousal.
"Man wakes up as a gun
And doesn't get the joke"
Lyrical curve ball, to only hint the worth of a vacuum cleaner.
Foggiest thing to hint. If unclear point of reference.
