Aufgewacht!
🎵 Listen
Lyrics
The darkness makes it all feel right
In shadows everything's in sight
The world's in perfect order here
Where nothing breaks and all's so clear
But then the morning breaks it down
The light exposes every frown
The black fades into blinding white
And suddenly you see the fight
When darkness breaks away from light
When fog just vanishes from sight
When dreams and reality collide
My thoughts are finally set free
Aufgewacht! – the world ain't what I thought
Aufgewacht! – but not what I got
Overthinking what the world will say
Aufgewacht! – it's nothing, no way
Aufgewacht! – we're all just standing still
Aufgewacht! – across this goddamn hill
Overthinking why we don't move on
Aufgewacht! – but nothing's ever gone
There's not much left for us to see
There's not much left that sets us free
I cannot break the spell we're in
Why we're all locked within the skin
When everybody just looks down
While all the world goes round and round
Nobody moves an inch ahead
The whole machine just marks the dread
When darkness breaks away from light
When fog just vanishes from sight
When dreams and reality collide
My thoughts are finally set free
Aufgewacht! – the world ain't what I thought
Aufgewacht! – but not what I got
Overthinking what the world will say
Aufgewacht! – it's nothing, no way
Aufgewacht! – we're all just standing still
Aufgewacht! – across this goddamn hill
Overthinking why we don't move on
Aufgewacht! – but nothing's ever gone
And when you finally catch the joke
That even this song's just smoke and stroke
That last drop of hope just runs completely dry
You're already too goddamn late to try
Because the darkness is a lie we love
We pretend it's peace – a gift from high above
But waking up just shows you're even more alone
And all that order? Just because you cannot see the stone
When darkness breaks away from light
When fog just vanishes from sight
When dreams and reality collide
My thoughts are finally set free
Aufgewacht! – the world ain't what I thought
Aufgewacht! – but not what I got
Overthinking what the world will say
Aufgewacht! – it's nothing, no way
Aufgewacht! – we're all just standing still
Aufgewacht! – across this goddamn hill
Overthinking why we don't move on
Aufgewacht! – but nothing's ever gone
The last hope that we hold so tight
The only thread to hold the light
What splits the real from what we fake
Won't be freed by love or hate
We're still here... standing in the night
We're still here... but nothing's right
Aufgewacht... and still we fall
Aufgewacht... we've lost it all
