The song depicts the meaning that we are to forsake our earthly and sinful selves, and go to God. " The Awakening" is the realization that without God we will fail and thus we must go to God. Thus Ryan is speaking about how people are what he used to be, Godless sinners, and how he has turned to God and is saved.
Awaken from the delusion of vailidity... awaken from the lies of society's pride (pride meaning to stubbornly refuse help) and awaken into God's truth.
Awaken into the truth of how it used to be... awaken to what your forefathers knew, how they loved and trusted God, or, awaken to the child-like faith that you once had with a pure and innocent life (if you were born a christian).
I felt compelled to add on here when my minister spoke today and the message reminded me so much about this song.
