Falling Awake Lyrics
Phantom voices with no words to follow
At the mercy of the cold and hollow
I withdrew into my sanctuary of silence
My defence
In this moment I am just becoming
Liberated from my cell of nothing
No sensation there was only breathing
Overcome oblivion
Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I'm falling
I'm falling awake
Waves of melodies once forgotten
like a symphony across the ocean
Never knew that they could hear my calling
Deep within, crashing in
Rushing in, like falling
Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I'm falling
I'm falling awake
There is no returning to that emptiness
Loneliness
The dream that lives inside of me
Won't fade away, it's wide awake
Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I'm falling
I'm falling
Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I'm falling
I'm falling awake
At the mercy of the cold and hollow
I withdrew into my sanctuary of silence
My defence
In this moment I am just becoming
Liberated from my cell of nothing
No sensation there was only breathing
Overcome oblivion
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I'm falling
I'm falling awake
like a symphony across the ocean
Never knew that they could hear my calling
Deep within, crashing in
Rushing in, like falling
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I'm falling
I'm falling awake
Loneliness
The dream that lives inside of me
Won't fade away, it's wide awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I'm falling
I'm falling
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I'm falling
I'm falling awake

This probably isn't the intended meaning of the song, but I think one of the things that's great about music is that songs can mean different things to different people...
I dealt with a drug addiction for a while, and I'm finally getting through it. Being sober, I feel like I'm waking up from a long drug-induced coma ("Falling awake from the walking sleep"). The moment you realize what you have been doing to your life, and accept the responsibility to overcome it ("In this moment I am just becoming/Liberated from my cell of nothing../Overcome oblivion").
The chorus shows optimism for the future: the addiction is nothing but a bad memory that I have learned from ("And all that remains is the dying memory"). I'm free to start really living my life ("And now I can dive for these dreams I make").
Finally, a pledge to never, ever go back to the addiction ("There is no returning to that emptiness /Loneliness").
Again, I'm sure this wasn't the songwriters' meaning, but that's what the song says to me.
Somehow I feel that this is related to I Feel Immortal. The previously mentioned song could be about falling into depression or suffering from it.
This song, I believe, would be about being treated for her depression, and becoming happy again. After overcoming it, and not wanting to go back to it after all that's been done for her.
