This song is about how difficult the past five years have been for us as a society. I feel like we have become so desensitized and hateful towards one another. The Awakening is about how people from all walks of life are empowered to celebrate their own beautiful uniqueness and individuality free of judgment and comparison. We try to be someone we are not, and question ourselves for being who we are. People are on their phones with facial filters to change how they look on social media just to feel accepted. Likes and thumbs up have become our new addiction, leading to depression and self-harm. We judge without reason and we assume the worst in each other. This song is about the need for economic, social and individual change. I still believe we can walk hand in hand into a better future once we realize that we are sleeping wide awake.
