Townsend, Devin - Awake!! Lyrics






Hey... You're awake
And it keeps you where you wanted to be known
That's all right You know that you've been framed
All the way
And it keeps where you wanted to be known
But that's all right... You're only human, boy
Take your inhibitions going home
Welcome home, boy

Hey! You're awake!
And that keeps you where you're wanting to be owned
That's all right, You're only evil
'Eh' all the way!
And it keeps you where you wanted to be owned
That's all right, you're only human boy
So stay a while

All the world's a stage and we are home again
All the world's afraid but we are home again, home again
Away from home? Wait!
I died a little... Away, away, away...

I want to be set free
On the road again for you and me
Tell your partner that you'll be on the way
Get up, get up, get up
We're far too old to whine about it

Hey, you're awake
And it keeps you where you've wanted to be known
That's all right, you knew we knew the way
All the way
And it keeps us where we wanted to be all the time
Oh, then sooner or later it comes
And we are free!
I'm free!
I'm free!

All the world's a stage and we are home again!
All the world's afraid but we are home again, home again!
Away from home? Wait!
I died a little... Wait! Wait! Wait!

I want to be set free
On the bond again for you and for me
Without a haunted song we'd be all alone
So get up, get up, get up
Now deconstruct!
Deconstruct!

All the world's afraid... All the world's afraid

And we looked up to the stars last night
And I saw that maybe... there was nothing more?
And my thought turned!

    How I missed him for so long is beyond me. Friends are awesome.

  10. m.... ....

    2 of the best vocals in this universe....

  11. P.... B....

    Ridiculous...

  12. F.... D....

    Anneke......is something else.

  13. M.... J....

    God dangit, Dev's a wonderful Being <3

  14. m.... c....

    Fucking A++++++

  15. M.... W....

    That is so fucking good!

  16. S.... P....

    Real music,by talented artists,,,

  17. C.... F....

    I've arrived here because of Anneke. I didn't know Devin! How is it possible? F*ck me Jebus!
    Este tipo es un crack! Y la combinación con Anneke es una delicia.

  18. j.... c....

    I DON'T GET IT

  19. H.... D....

    Uau 💜

  20. t.... ....

    once again proving talented players can't write for shit ~!

  21. J.... S....

    Whoever disliked this...u blow

  22. M.... D....

    This is my favorite DT video of all time, because of Anneke.

  23. L.... L....

    I love the "walk on home boy.." Pantera reference! Plus this song fucking rocks! 🤘

  24. A.... K....

    Who else didn't see the band behind Anneke?

  25. J.... ....

    ”So get up, get up, get up, get up. Now DE-CON-STRUCT!” followed by bossa-nova chants over a caveman riff. Gets me everytime. Simple, original, ingenious eclecticism.

  26. G.... S....

    I think I have had a spiritual experience

  27. C.... !....

    DAMN she is Fing BEAUTIFUL !!!

  28. U.... ....

    Anneke's voice fits perfectly to Devins music.
    He could've chosen any female to sing to his songs, but Anneke is surely the right choice.

  29. R.... D....

    I Kocham Anneke,-Robert !!!!

  30. R.... D....

    KOCHAM CIĘ DEVIN WOW

  31. C.... ....

    S A T U R A T I O N

  32. T.... ....

    Anneke is so beautiful! I love those hand gestures at 4:34-like Hawaiian Hula dancers do-so alluring, sexy and feminine. Great song Devin.

  33. S.... 8....

    So badass

  34. D.... W....

    Whatta small scene for such a big man ... ❤

  35. a.... s....

    There is one group of individuals whose live performances I absolutely prefer over their studio performances.


    These are said individuals.

  36. R.... L....

    LOVE this song, these two sound phenom and the chorus is "epic", just an awesome song all the way around, the ending is cool too...thanks Devin:)

  37. R.... M....

    InsideOut needs to reissue the box set for the rest of us who were not able to get it the first time. I am glad these videos are on youtube, but as a dedicated Devy fanatic for 26 year, I need a physical copy--and not one priced at over $600.

  38. t.... 8....

    Anneke 😍

  39. R.... D....

    Kocham Cudowną Annekę i Devina !!!!,-z Pozdrowieniami fan Robert :-* ;-) :-)

  40. I.... E....

    I don't have a favourite Devin album or song. It's impossible to choose.

  41. �.... �....

    Наркотики подарили этому миру очередной талант!

  42. J.... M....

    Deconstruction is an amazing album. Everyone should listen to it. Ho Krill is my favorite song. Devin is God!

  43. C.... L....

    4:25 I get the Strapping Young Lad - Alien vibe.

  44. S.... M....

    Damn, that skirt is short!

  45. W.... W....

    Strange - at approx 5.12 Anneke just stops singing but her voice carries on. A bit of backing tapes going here methinks.

    W.... W....

    Devin seems that have backtrack on everything he plays live, some is to cover effects stuff like self accompanied chorus
    Part of that "wall of sound" he is known for. I wish more of his live stuff was purely live, hard to tell in different clips but this concert for sure. You clearly see Anneke miss a queue on supercrush from this show. See here: https://youtu.be/FZLgXOz1om4
    I guess its one way to ensure the crowd hears good quality but its not a pure live performance.

    W.... W....

    @dman3d I'm not saying it isn't a concert - but backing tapes is cheating, pure and simple.

    W.... W....

    Oh I agree. I think his stuff is more like an “experience” or show rather than a concert. It’s weird to me, I enjoy some his music though.

    W.... W....

    @dman3d Yep, I do enjoy the music - well, some of it. A lot of it sounds just like a noise or a rabble.

  46. W.... W....

    Where have I been ? Just hearing this for the first time. Great stuff.

    W.... W....

    William Wallace that’s what I said too lol!

  47. J.... A....

    Man, Devin's face is a complete show by itself

  48. p.... ....

    sirens probably sound like Anneke after 4:34. and if they don't they sure well should.

  49. V.... D....

    So benutzt man Stromgitarren.

  50. R.... G....

    Amazing how Anneke can be so sexy amongst a bunch of heavy metal neanderthals.

  51. R.... D....

    DZIĘKI DEVIN ZA WSPANIAŁĄ MUZĘ I DOSKONAŁYCH TWYCH MUZYKÓW,-kOCHAM cIEBIE DEVIN I ANNEKE !!!!!

  52. R.... D....

    Kocham Cudowną Anneke i Devina,-Uwielbiam Was i Ciągle słucham bo Jesteście NAJLEPSI :-* :-)

  53. J.... ....

    Amorphis brought me here and I´m loving it!

  54. J.... R....

    Sounds like a mix of Lacrimosa and The Gathering.

  55. M.... G....

    THIS SONG IS FRACKIN AMAZING

  56. B.... N....

    3 days later.....and I can't stop listening to this!!!!

  57. E.... G....

    semplicemente FENOMENALE!!!

  58. B.... N....

    Anneke is beautiful! (Then and now.)

  59. �.... �....

    A bunch of demonic possessed folk, & x 1 shipwreck survivor making a rackety noise.

    �.... �....

    well you came back so...

  60. C.... Q....

    very exciting and Anneke V.G. is so sexy it's crazy good. I Love her !!

  61. P.... D....

    Absolutely amazing!

  62. r.... ....

    The most melodically evil and soulful song I've heard from him...he is beyond comparison.

  63. C.... !....

    Id like two skulls and a couple of skullets please !

  64. C.... !....

    That has to be the absolute sexiest woman in rock!! PERIOD !!

  65. N.... S....

    Play this song at my funeral. Best music on the planet!!

  66. �.... �....

    i personally think the swimming cap with the one hoody made a change for the better,. i'm wondering if Kevin Towelrent wanted to.....ya know....ya know, get a bit of ya know from the lady with the pair of "Great Job On The Titties God, plus man...the raw meat eating alcoholic golemn thing was getting kinda tacky n shit.

  67. �.... �....

    Great to see Aug Tellez havin a bit of time out from being a Quantum Quantumer and just kickin back n twangin

  68. V.... S....

    1:50 That combination between Devin and Anneke makes feel my soul completely alive!

  69. F.... O....

    Day off, chillin', listening to all sorts of musicz, had to stop cleaning and replay this song, Holy the Shit my guy! This man is an avatar for some deity.

  70. D.... M....

    Anneke is a beauty and she knows it

  71. D.... ....

    Anneke and Devin's musical partnership has produced awesome tracks such as this, Numbered, and Grace... Imagine if they put out a whole album of songs that good... The Earth would melt!

  72. M.... ....

    DT has progressed but still metal as fuck.

  73. h.... ....

    this is so beautiful

  74. O.... ....

    2019 goals: watch every Devin Townsend video and Marco Pierre White video on youtube. I'm excelling! Might sound eclectic… but eclectic is all of our things if we are watching a Dev song!

  75. S.... K....

    Is Devy playing a Peavey Cropper Classic??

  76. S.... P....

    Anneke going for the full Debbie Harry look

  77. T.... O....

    Im confused.... it sounded like pantera.... but wasnt.... then he said walk on home boi and i triple took

  78. J.... P....

    O cara é um puta de um vocalista de metal! Karaka! E põe a voz aveludada e gostozinha da Anneke pronto! Já era! Fórmula do sucesso pra uma excelente música. O som dele é mais de metal europeu. E eu prefiro assim que o estilo estadunidense ou alemão. Adoooooro! Foda pra karái! ;) LmI

  79. H.... ....

    Did I count 3 guitarists and 1 bassist?

  80. a.... ....

    This and Triumph were the songs that got me into Devin Townsend, but the By a Thread version of 'Kingdom' was the song that solidified him as my favorite artist.

  81. b.... ....

    Bring back Anneke

  82. �.... ....

    Her right place. Beside Devin

  83. A.... T....

    Vocals: Devin Townsend
    Drums: Devin Townsend
    Bass: younger Devin Townsend

  84. R.... S....

    This song is pretty underrated imo, I love the outro.

  85. G.... N....

    This is INCREDIBLE! Harmonies, 3 guitars, great vocals with growling!

  86. S.... G....

    Anneke is the definition of amazing! Well...Devin is also for different reasons!

  87. A.... G....

    3:13 If looks could kill!! lol

  88. s.... ....

    Hey plays , sings and composes awesome; she sings and looks awesome

  89. I.... W....

    I just fucking love hearing these two perform together. Wow.

  94. J.... E....
