The princess will fall while the prince has his kingdom to save. We're trying to make our voice heard amidst the noise and chaos of the world around us. Well can you hear me? (can you hear them, can you hear them, can you hear them) The persuasiveness of these arguments is making us consider them, even though they may not align with our core beliefs. We know that the arguments they're presenting aren't truly authentic to who we are or what we believe in. Others are trying to persuade us with their most compelling arguments, but we're not entirely convinced.Īlthough they're not the right ones, are they? We're piecing together our own narrative and trying to make sense of the world around us.Įveryone around us seems to be in on this narrative and conforming to it, but we're not sure if we want to be a part of it.īut now they're using their best words on me, We're trying to understand the true intentions and motives of those who demand conformity from us. We attempted to conform to the expectations of others and live our lives the way they wanted us to. We tried to turn our lives into your thoughts The world has changed and the conversation we were having is no longer valid or relevant. What happened to the world? This conversation's over It's a reminder that we all have a responsibility to make our voices heard, and to fight against those who would try to silence us. Overall, "It's Just Business" is a song that calls for change and encourages people to take a stand against injustice. The line "You took the fall, to lead me home" could suggest that the singer has been betrayed by someone who they thought was on their side. The metaphor of the prince and the princess implies that there is an unfair distribution of power and that those in charge aren't always acting in the best interest of everyone. The chorus of the song is a call to action, urging the listener to speak out and make their voice heard. The band believes that people have tried to conform to others' ideas of what their lives should be like, losing their true selves in the process.

The lines "What happened to the world? This conversation's over" suggest that there is a deep sense of disappointment with the way things have turned out. The lyrics of Awaken I Am's song "It's Just Business" describe a feeling of disillusionment and betrayal towards the world and the people in power. They hit you with passionate vocal harmonies that will send chills through your bones, all while instrumentals remain as tight as they are on the album.Īwaken I Am are, quite effortlessly, raising the bar on what our generation accepts as quality music and talented musicians.

Even if you have never heard them before, you can't help but appreciate the obvious quality and get your head moving. They are teeming with energy and it doesn't take the crowd very long to catch on to their enthusiasm. Their insightful, perceptive lyrics and heartfelt, energetic music can be embraced by listeners of multiple genres, which is why they draw fans from a variety of bases including rock, hardcore, alternative, pop and indie.ĪIA's live show is something to be seen as well. Their EP, Resonance, is brimming with infectious guitar riffs, playful drum structures, catchy composition, and perfectly subtle synths. The list of bands who AIA have toured with in the past year also looks remarkably like the roster of Australia's biggest touring acts: The Amity Affliction, Closure In Moscow, As Tall As Lions, Lydia, Dream On Dreamer, Tonight Alive, Parkway Drive, Skyway, Caulfield, Rufio, Floating Me, Electric Horse, The Winnie Coopers and Surecut Kids, just to name a few.Īwaken I Am are easily distinguished from their peers in many ways. You may recognize some of them from the band Sleepers, but after a few line-up changes, the guys decided to start fresh as Awaken I Am.
