Activate is the 4th song on my new album Fingerprints, released via Particle Zoo Recordings.
There’s a bit of a theme on Fingerprints about work/life balance.
When you’re in the routine of being exhausted every evening after work and can barely manage to shower and eat before sleeping and then before you know it, you are starting the next day again. We can become obsessed with money and career progression and that’s great if that’s what we want and that is our life purpose. But what if that isn’t the case?
'Activate' is a wake-up call to not wander through life passively but to keep your goals in view, your individuality, keep doing what makes you feel alive. We have to accept certain things in life as fighting against them only causes us harm, but there are things we can change to help us get out of bed in the morning and this song is saying “Wake up! Do that!”.
Activate
Selling your time
Selling your body
Selling your mind
Selling for money
Did your dream come true?
Did it work out for you?
Selling your sanity
Investing in vanity
What a calamity, ay
Did you live another day?
Same as yesterday
Look me in the eye and concentrate
Listen to my words and answer straight
Wake up, Activate
I said, wake up, Activate
Selling and lying
Buying and breaking
Bragging and crying
It’s better than your thing
When you’re dead and burnt
Where’s the money you earned?
Selling your youth
Selling your energy
Glimmers of truth
Burn true when they get through
That thick facade
Check your Gratitude Jar
Look me in the eye and concentrate
Listen to my words and answer straight
Wake up, Activate
I said, wake up, Activate
How do you repeat the same the day again?
