about

The song is about an attempt — an awakening to try and develop into assertive lifestyle. It contemplates chance interventions and opportunities for change, are they real or only perceived to be real? The song blends effects and funky vibes to simulate the confusion and grogginess of waking up in an unfamiliar place and juxtaposes it with heavy metal and punk riffs to emulate the nightmarish revelations of reality. The song swells up and down on the sonic journey of restlessness.

lyrics

Wake me up, I've been
Living in dreams of those around me
Life won't be
Exactly what you wanted
You've been trying so hard to be
Taking away each part of me
But it's best you fight your own fight
Because I'm splitting in two and it starts with you

You can't erase this
You can't replace this
It's been too long
To say goodbye now

Is this the chance we've been waiting for?
You might not like what you get, but it's
Where you belong
I'm done, I'm gone - There'll be no more
Going back is no option - I am out the door
I have nothing to say because I've said it before

Now and then I can feel the
push, the pull
The gentle tug that drags me out of the world
And I float there in orbit, on a path to
Nowhere and everywhere I hope to be

With all the lies that you said to me
You've taken them back through your own
dishonesty
And now I'm taking it back, now I'm taking it back
Now I'm taking this back from you

You can't erase this
You can't replace this
It's been too long to say goodbye...

Is this the chance we've been waiting for?
You might not like what you get, but it's
Where you belong
I'm done, I'm gone - there'll be no more
Going back is no option - I am out the door
I have nothing to say because I've said it
before

Is this the chance we've been waiting for?
You might not like what you get, but it's
Where you belong
I'm done, I'm gone - there'll be no more
Going back is no option - I am out the door
I have nothing to say because I've said it before

I have nothing to say, I've said it before
You have nothing to say, I've heard it before
The lock clicks, the door slams, the engines rust
Noise fades
And I fall asleep
