#SongMeaning: Mumford and Sons – Awake My Soul

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMFFFGGGG!!!! Have you guys heard Awake My Soul by Mumford and Sons?? Like literally – my heart is beating strictly for this song today. I’ve heard it a bajillion times, obviously … that album from start to finish is just AMAZEBALLS. Have a listen …

 

First off, this is totally a coming of age song about a shift in consciousness (which sounds way radder than enlightenment. That shit sounds too elitist; we can’t ever achieve true enlightenment, and the second we think that we do – haha we have a lot more learning to do!!!!) But for reals … this is just IMHO what I think this song is about.

How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don’t know
This weakness I feel I must finally show

I think this is about the first step in the journey – how fickle my heart represents a lack of passion, and a lack of love. Your heart is still searching … how woozy my eyes – we don’t see with our eyes we perceive with our minds. Of course your eyes will be woozy if you’re still in the same state of consciousness.

I struggle to find truth in your lies – that’s the moment where you recognize, omg – NOOTHHIINNNNGGGG in life is what I thought it was. And now my heart stumbles on things I don’t know – colors, tastes, everything starts to change. You are literally being reborn and stepping to stones you didn’t even know were there. This weakness I feel I must finally show – when you walk towards the fear, and walk towards the unknown you experience the GREATEST shifts in consciousness. It’s this fearless pursuit of knowing nothing and everything all at the same time.

Lend me your hand and we’ll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I’ll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free
Har har, har har, har har, har har

Lend me your hand and we’ll conquer them all – no man is an island, we all must work together. But lend me your heart and I’ll just let you fall. You have to be your own person, and be on your own path while building as much of a team as possible but letting them remain free to pursue all that they want to pursue. No one person can have anyone else’s heart totally, ever for one to be totally free where happiness truly lies. Remember your awesome is organic – and every question we can ever ask already resides in us.

Har har har har – he’s clearly got a pirate fetish. It’s cool … I find it pretty hot actually. I’ll jack his sparrow … RAWWRRR!!

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life

We were made, we live, and we die. In the actual grand scheme of things our lives are so unbelievably unimportant for even those that can judge said importance of life will one day die too!!!!! INSANE!!! Where you invest your love, you invest your life – live to love. When you love what you are doing, you are truly living a fulfilled life. Live to love. Live to love. Live to love.

Awake my soul, awake my soul

Awake my soul

You were made to meet your maker

Awake my soul, awake my soul

Awake my soul

You were made to meet your maker

You were made to meet your maker

Awake my soul – come to life, to live life not as those told us to but to be true to ourselves and what we feel in our heart, and in our soul outside of everything else. YES YES YES YES YES YES!!! Awake my soullllll!!!!! You were made to meet your maker, we were born and we are going to die. So START LIVING!!!!!!!!!! It’s going to happen to you anyway!!! NO ONE escapes it!!! So go out with a bang!!! BAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I can’t STAND IT!!!

Here, have another listen …

#amazing
