Follows the whole 'exploration' theme of the rest of the album. Sound Awake is a very anti-religious album as religion is seen as a suppressor to seeking and open-mindedness. Illumine is basically saying forget all that religion has taught you and look to other possibilities. "Don't listen, don't even hear a sound they make it breaks you" - religion focuses on eliciting fear in peoples minds to get them to believe, e.g. fear of dying, etc... "So lead us on through the world of false promise" - self explanatory of the concept of religion. Anyway, awesome song. Awesome album....
