STAY AWAKE: BENEATH THE SURFACE
This is where Stay Awake began, late nights and a feeling we couldn’t shake.

STAY AWAKE
"Stay Awake" is a powerful song about the struggle between reality and a mind on the edge. The lyrics express a feeling of being disconnected and overwhelmed, like being trapped in a chaotic mental space.
The question, "Why does it have to be for you?" shows the pain of losing yourself while holding on to something that no longer makes sense.
The repeated line, "stay awake," is a desperate reminder to stay present, even when everything feels out of control.
With intense energy and emotional vocals, the song captures the fight to stay grounded in an increasingly confusing world.
What you’re about to hear is the very beginning, the intro from the first ever demo of Stay Awake. It was recorded late one night, before the lyrics were finished, before the song knew what it wanted to be. It’s raw.
Rough around the edges. But it holds the feeling that started it all.
“Stay Awake came from a place I didn’t want to admit existed.
It’s about that edge between feeling everything and feeling nothing.
I was living in the in-between for a while, this song helped me name it.” - Luke
