Wide Awake

Wide Awake

---

Apparently, this group are my fellow Canadians and Ontarians!

Vocals

Nice drawn out voice. It has a female Ozzy-like feel to it.

Music

Slow pace, change in the middle was needed. Third change also made sense. The guitar solo did nothing for me.

Lyrics

Sounds like a realization that when you remove all the veils and blinders it becomes clear that not everyone has your best interest in mind. Something that if you are in a stable home, might have seemed to be, as a child. It is a hard realization and one that also remind us of our own weakness, and our own failure. 

It is hard to see past this confusion
They tried their best to make us lie 
An endless spiral of deception

Through all the smokey cracking mirrors
The magic starts to fade away
As we are slowly loosening
The helpless creatures arise

It makes no sense to point your fingers
Frustration only feeds their game
Stop looking for someone to blame
