Starset - Waking Up Lyrics






Is this real?
Because I can't feel
I reach into the darkness
And there's nothing to hold
Trying to heal
But spin my wheels
The more I try to stop this
The more I lose control

Am I just a ghost in my own machine?
In a sandbox in the entropy?
Some reality
Got a hold of me now
And I don't think I'll escape
Am I too attached to a memory?
Stuck in my head for eternity
Am I in a dream
Or the in-between
And I don't think

'Cause I'm not waking up up up
Waking up up up
Waking up up up
Waking up up
I'm not waking up up up
Waking up up up
Waking up up up
Waking up up

Conversations
With simulations
They say there's no escaping
It's a never ending road
My salvation
It's lost in translation
The more I can't explain it
The more I lose control

Am I just a ghost in my own machine?
In a sandbox in the entropy?
Some reality
Got a hold of me now
And I don't think I'll escape
Am I too attached to a memory?
Stuck in my head for eternity
Am I in a dream
Or the in-between
And I don't think

'Cause I'm not waking up up up
Waking up up up
Waking up up up
Waking up up
I'm not waking up up up
Waking up up up
Waking up up up
Waking up up
I'm not waking

(I'm not waking)
(I'm not waking)

Starset Waking Up Comments
  1. T.... o....

    FINALLY I FOUND IT XD

  2. A.... D....

    Happiness is a state of mind and has nothing to do with the external world.

  3. F.... ....

    Well this fits The Calling idea/playlist perfectly. Very late reply havent been on the videos since the album came out but, indeed shiver level deja vu.

  4. Z.... R....

    So much better than Twenty One Pilota

  5. H.... R....

    This song is really therapeutic for me. I recently realized a person I cared about didn’t feel the same about me, so I let them go, but this song makes me feel at peace whenever I try to sleep.

  6. p.... P....

    This is always good to listen to when you feel super rotten like a tomato

  7. V.... D....

    Let's go starset!!!!

  8. P.... O....

    Starset has yet to make a bad song

  9. D.... A....

    Is it me or the instrumental sound like illenium's music?

  10. G.... G....

    Diving Bell used to be my absolute favorite, but then I gave this one a second listen, and a third, and a fourth, and a fif

  11. Z.... W....

    It’s chill

  12. K.... ....

    Me when the school says there is school on Saturday this week

  13. B.... ....

    Divisions - Waking Up but Dustin Bates Wipes His Ass and Slaps His Nuts

  14. y.... f....

    The best band ever

  15. W.... ....

    Starset is such a legendary band imo and I am proud to say that Starset is my favorite band of all time

  16. B.... ....

    Why did i just find out starset made new music a month later, im dissapointed in myself flr not listening to it sooner

  17. S.... ....

    Gosh my heart can’t take this anymore hlp

  18. D.... B....

    I just recently had a spiritual awakening and now I discovered your band, you guys are fucking awesome !

  19. x.... ....

    Starset is underrated, but honestly nothing can beat Transmissions. It feels like it never be something better, than the first starset album.

  20. L.... T....

    I'm brazillian and i don't have a good English, can someone tell what the voice say in the end of the music? (When someone knock the door)

    L.... T....

    I can't make out most of it but it sounds like he is saying "Open Up!" "Open Up! Hurry!" like the forces of New West Industries (the bad guys in the lore for this album) are coming for one of the rebels that escaped the control of the BMI (or Brain Machine Interface which is a device that New West Industries made that, when implanted in a person's head, sends all of their thoughts to a system that will record everything but will also let that person experience anything that they want as if it was real). The song Perfect Machine from this album is about the BMI.

    L.... T....

    @melchiah501 Thanks

  21. N.... ....

    This is my favorite band

  22. A.... N....

    Mood throughout high school

  23. K.... E....

    so underrated :(

  24. C.... ....

    Did anyone else think about Ghost In the Shell or SOMA when first listening to this?

  25. B.... H....

    I was majorly disappointed until like the last week when i really focused on how the lyrics relate to my autism and how i struggle to tell reality from fantasy and now i love this song. It may not be what i was hoping for as far as sound goes but i can have appreciation for this song now

  26. N.... ....

    Never fall asleep while you hear the ending of this song with headphones


    Its an horrifying experience :(

    N.... ....

    I guess you woke up LMAO

    N.... ....

    IFKR!!! I passed out drunk w headphones and this gave me a heart attack

  27. S.... M....

    that background music relax me

  28. S.... M....

    Waking Up (Ft. ¿NoCopyrihtSounds?)

    A.... A....

    Anthony AA the only difference is that this doesn’t sound like shit

    A.... A....

    @Kevin Peteri 7-9b LillhagaskolanBut why explain it to me

    A.... A....

    Anthony AA idk, I just don’t like ncs’s music for some reason, but this I can get behind

    A.... A....

    @Kevin Peteri 7-9b Lillhagaskolan A Ok Thanks

  60. V.... D....

    Cadê os BR nessa bagaça?

  61. N.... ....

    Fuck I love this song

    N.... ....

    Me too. Personally, I think this song gets too much hate (I honestly think Faultline derails too much from their usual sound). I know its not what they usually do, but I've always seen Starset as an experimental and cinematic band than the typical rock band. I think this ability to tackle different genres and blend them together it's their strongest attribute.

    N.... ....

    @Star Wars Jibaro and I love bands that can make each album sound different. Actually thought Faultline sounds oddly like a pop song which is weird. This one gives the whole album an awesome different feeling

  62. L.... J....

    Been a big fan since first album came out, keep it up you guys

  63. S.... M....

    😍😍😍

  64. N.... G....

    Love it

  65. H.... B....

    Still only 39 dislikes as appose to 6,490 likes that’s a good ratio

  66. A.... ....

    I love it :)

  67. U.... J....

    This song is great!

    Whats more great? The playback speed. XD

  68. D.... H....

    Thxks for the motivation so ima wake up and build more I was think about pausing a bit

  69. I.... ....

    It's ironic that this is my morning alarm.

    I.... ....

    I honestly considered doing the same thing xD

  70. N.... ....

    This song is a bit more pop for their style, but f*** me its good so I don't even care

  71. K.... ....

    This evoked something in me I didn't even realise was there h o l y f u c k

  72. B.... G....

    tbh, Ive been a fan of Starset ever since I saw them perform with Breaking Benjamin, they were fucking amazing and even have a picture with Dustin Bates. however, by listening to this song for the first time in this album, i think that this and Diving Bell were the worst songs. They could have done a bit better than this as this sounds a lot mellow. Diving Bell sounds really strange and doesnt click for me.

    B.... G....

    What do you have against more soft music? :o

  73. B.... B....

    the song makes my soul so happy. great road trip song too!

  74. A.... A....

    Ugh, the lyrics describe perfectly what I’m going through right now. Thank you. 💗

  75. J.... S....

    4.5/5 Despite the fact this is not as heavy as usual, you must admit it's a very cool song.

  76. r.... ....

    Bought the album the day it came out. Absolutely love it!!! <3

  77. S.... ....

    might set this as my alarm ringtone 🤷‍♀️

  78. O.... K....

    "You can't be lost if you've gone AWOL..."

  79. M.... G....

    3:32 Death Stranding Theme?

  80. �.... �....

    3:23

    Wake up, I'm pounding on the door...

    �.... �....

    FBI (VERSION DIVISIONS),JPG

    �.... �....

    I like that 3DG's song

  81. �.... �....

    Пойду на будильник поставлю.

  82. S.... M....

    I like the background on this amazing song!!

  83. O.... 1....

    Another top-class album from them, by far my favourite band at the moment.

  84. M.... ....

    Down With The Fallen 2.0

    M.... ....

    @N8 Just kidding 😁

  85. A.... ....

    Someone add Lyrics 🙏🏻

  86. M.... L....

    Nice music

  87. D.... C....

    The song is super related to the album's lore. Somebody is clearly trapped within the brain interface machine. Or maybe he's truly only the ghost, or just one of the simulations which gained sentience.

    D.... C....

    Дина Хая Рубина you are one of the few that comment on the deeper meaning. I think all of the songs have much deeper and even spiritual meaning

  88. F.... F....

    *This song sounds like NoCopyrightSounds*

    F.... F....

    We invoke you @NoCopyRightSounds

  89. G.... ....

    Ah I don't like these effects on voice

  90. �.... �....

    So good..

  91. A.... ....

    Its so beautiful!

  92. p.... k....

    Pre-chorus is dope. Too bad the chorus itself is so lame.

    p.... k....

    The chorus is okay not bad👍

    p.... k....

    This whole album is weak so far. Listened to 5 songs, only 1 was good

    p.... k....

    @Omar Yañez Zavala Of course, like what you like, no one's gonna stop you.

    p.... k....

    @iDEaXANA Of course, dislike what you dislike, that's what opinions are for.

  93. J.... 3....

    2:44 and on is magical for an instrumental. Js

  94. S.... I....

    I want songs like their old ones

    S.... I....

    Then listen to their old songs.

  95. K.... R....

    I just ordered the CD and its going to arrive on my birthday this Friday!!!!

    K.... R....

    Happy early birthday 🎂

    K.... R....

    Cool that!
