Robert DeLong’s original “Song of the Month” for December 2016 describes becoming a new person as a new year comes and narrates a person with social anxiety.
The song starts off with disfigured voices and hums with light kicks.
[Verse 1]
I go to the bottom of the ocean to escape the crowds
Still, I turn up the radiator to drown out the sound
I lost any sense of motivation to keep water out
But I find a new reason to keep living as I start to drown
[Chorus]
Gonna' wake a wake of a great sleep
Dreamin' that I'm dreaming
The morning will take me
Won't know if I know what I can't see
When I'm born again i'll still eat the old me
[Verse 2]
Last time found the center of the circle, looking from outside
Outside a new science of religion leading from the sky
I got to find a way to tell the story without feeling shy
[Chorus]
Gonna' wake a wake of a great sleep
Dreamin' that I'm dreaming
The morning will take me
Won't know if I know what I can't see
When I'm born again i'll still eat the old me
[Bridge/Verse 3]
I learned to swim, and I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it up
To the top of the ocean
What a wonderful new breath I found
Play that song again, because I don't know If I'll get another chance to hear it later
But you gotta turn down
But you gotta turn down
But you gotta turn down
[Chorus]
Gonna' wake a wake of a great sleep
Dreamin' that I'm dreaming
The morning will take me
Won't know if I know what I can't see
When I'm born again i'll still eat the old me
[Chorus]
Gonna' wake a wake of a great sleep
Dreamin' that I'm dreaming
The morning will take me
Won't know if I know what I can't see
When I'm born again i'll still eat the old me
