‘Sound of Awakening’ is the 9th song on Walk the Moon’s third studio album ‘What if Nothing.
The song features poetic verse spoken and sung using a vocoder that slowly builds to a musical rhythm and hard-hitting drums.
[Verse 1]
The sound of awakening
The virgin yawn of folded wings that cracks the crust of the cocoon
The breaking of first light inside the womb
Do you feel my heartbeat quickening
In-between the baited breaths before the turning of the page?
The sense that everything's about to change
Kicking and screaming, you can't make me leave this place
Cradled in the arms of darkness, I am safe
Until you pulled me into life, how could I know that I'd been blind?
It was love at first sight
When I opened my new eyes
And saw your face
[Verse 2]
The sound of awakening
The exoskeleton thickening
Do you feel the floodgates opening
To the sound of awakening?
As whispers in the heart disclose the rumors of the truth
When the mind has all but hidden it from view
The surface trembles as the core begins to heat
And you no longer trust the turning earth beneath your feet
Questioning if time has ever moved in a straight line
When you hear the aches of past-life lovers
As you pass by one another in the street
[Verse 3]
It's the sound of awakening
The psycho-tropical symphony
All the voices washing over me
[Chorus]
The distance
And the difference
Between us
Is just illusion
The distance
And the difference
Between us
Is just illusion
[Bridge]
It's all a dream
It's always been a dream
Yes, it's all one magnificent dream
And that's all it's ever been
(Even though) Yes, it's all a dream
(Even though) It's always been a dream
(Even though) Yes, it's all a dream
My love for you will echo in eternity
[Chorus]
The distance
And the difference
Between us
Is just illusion
The distance
And the difference
Between us
Is just illusion
The distance
And the difference
Between us
Is just illusion
The distance
And the difference
Between us (Between us)
Is just illusion (Ooh)
The distance
And the difference (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Between us
Is just illusion (Illusion)
The distance
And the difference (Yeah)
Between us
Is just illusion
