the great awakening Lyrics

tell her to shoot herself
and try not to fall asleep
and i can smile
it's five where they are
surprise me
wake up
i can't sleep
where are they
surprise me

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.

Cover art for the great awakening lyrics by December Drive, The

This song is absolute beauty. The lyrics just dont do it justice, its a 14 minute masterpiece. the ambience and guitarwork are so peaceful and relaxing. Its very sproadic, and has really soft parts, but my favorite is when it just explodes into pure mayhem. Best music to fall asleep to, or drive to. Thats also very ironic because thats what this song is about, the incidents of the car crash in which the singer/lyricist almost died. I feel thats what they wanted their music to sound like, and you couldnt get a more impressive result.
