David English-“Awakening”: A Meditation on Truth, Self, and Spiritual Insight

16

“Awakening” emerges from a moment of stillness—an intimate space where personal experience meets timeless spiritual teaching. Set against the warm, contemplative mood of a Mediterranean evening, the song delves into the profound idea that the world we perceive, and even the identity we believe ourselves to hold, is only a reflection of something far deeper and more enduring.

At the heart of the track is a striking metaphor: the moon mirrored in still water. Just as the reflection hints at a greater reality beyond the surface, “Awakening” explores the moment when a higher truth reveals itself—quietly, unmistakably, and in a way that reshapes one’s understanding forever.

Drawing inspiration from the teachings of Lama Thupten Yeshe and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, the song bridges the personal and the universal. It offers listeners a gentle, resonant invitation to look inward, question the nature of perception, and recognize the profound clarity that comes with spiritual realization.

“Awakening” is not just a song—it is an invitation to pause, reflect, and truly wake up.
