Waking Every God Lyrics

Ticking
Ticking
Wishing
Wishing
Standing here in Buda, trying to explain
to myself and to the girl beside
Why I feel so weightless and free from all my pain
Telling yourself that you're here inside
For the wind is in my hair as we are on this sun hot roof
and far below the Danube passes as we talk
And I'd like to think that this is what you wanted me to find
This happiness could help us rebuild what we've lost

Calling, walking every god
Falling, love is my blood
Breathing, love is life unbound
Kneeling, let me tread its ground
Through her eyes I can see who you used to be
Through my eyes she can see what that feeling means to me

Oh, ticking
Wishing I was stronger, wishing I was whole
Wishing I was someone that I'm not
And I wish that I could linger to the faith I used to have
Wishing of myself to be a god
I'm wishing to be God!

Calling, waking every god
Falling, love is in my blood
Breathing, love is life unbound
Kneeling, let me tread its ground
Through her eyes I can see who I used to be
Through my eyes she can see numb anxiety

Love, take me home!
Life, shake me home!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Daniel finds himself in Budapest after the doubts he encounters in the song Undertow. He meets a woman and the chorus explains his attraction to her very well. Very powerful song, musically and lyrically
