The song
We all pretend. To ourselves, to each other, to the people we love. We arrange our faces. We perform our lives. And somewhere along the way, the pretending becomes so total that the only place left for anything honest is the dreams we have when we sleep.
Dangerously Awake is about the moment you wake up from one of those dreams. The liminal space between asleep and awake, where for a few seconds you can still feel what was real — and you fight, with everything, to stay there.
In the end, it's good that we can't stay. Truth belongs in the awake world too. We don't have to hide.
