about

Shaking me up is the seventh song of Stars of Atlas.
Shaking me up is a song describing the emotional and social circumstances that surround us all and is a rallying cry for action to actualize your potential rather than allowing it to slip away.

lyrics

See I got a question
What is with all the distractions
There are too many lessons
And never enough intuitions
Been hesitant lately
As my heart continues to evade me
I think its fear quite frankly
A fallacy fed through a screen to both you and me
But enough of the reasons
Humans change just like the seasons
Yeah we've been bleeding
Just so that we can reach a solution
Reaching for absolution
Yet another intrusion
Please forgive my breathing
It is rather misleading
Yet the more I slow down
The more I begin to feel
Like this world is shaking me up
Because honey I cant simply
Pretend that how I feel
Isn't truly waking me up
Well maybe we are out of luck
it doesn't matter anymore
I suppose that it never did at all
Believed that I was ever so tall
Never thought I'd be the one to fall
Break, shatter and ultimately splinter
From the smooth summer to the frigid winter
Cause I'm a master and then a beginner
Warm as the sun yet you make me shiver
Seeking refuge in these foreign lands
Working until I cannot feel my hands
Comfort the empty bottle and then reprimand
The foolishness that falls through quick sand
Oh these emotions make me weak
A man in victory falls to defeat
Yet the more I slow down
The more I begin to feel
Like this world is shaking me up
Because honey I cant simply
Pretend that how I feel
Isn't truly waking me up
Well maybe we are out of luck
Rising through these ebony streets
Please destroy this false identity
Cause there is a song playing in the distant shadows
And I longer want to look inside
Because I've been there before and I would rather hide
Cause I'm a lone wolf and I was made to lie
Upon a bed of thorns and ashes
Reminiscing of the sapphire sky
Under the full moon lit night
Where I let our embers burn out and die
Nevermind that photographic memory
It was meant to long ago be buried
Under the sands of infinity
See we are in bondage or we are free
Yet the more I slow down
The more I begin to feel
Like this world is shaking me up
Because honey I cant simply
Pretend that how I feel
Isn't truly waking me up
Well maybe we are out of luck
