Awake [Lyrics] | OK Goodnight | RWBY Volume 8 'Midnight'

This song was not written for RWBY, but it was used in the most recent episode - Chapter 6, "Midnight". I've had it in my favorites since the EP came out, so this was as good an excuse as any, I think, to put up the lyrics.

Go check out the band, OK Goodnight, on Bandcamp!

Cinder: “I don’t have to run anymore.”
Rhodes: “....That’s all you’ll ever do.”

[jonathanjoestar]

imagine having a dad so supportive he put part of your band's song into one of the most important parts of his famous show

[maverickmak]

Casey says this song is about learning about your demons. Learning to live with them, and respect them for who they make you.
Happy coincidence that it lined up quite well with Cinder.

"My Self-Portrait Suicide" Cinder killing the image the world has of her as someone weak

[wrestlingpurist]

You're right! Without you I am nothing!... But BECAUSE of you, I am everything!!

[anonymousgamer]

"Take my hand, then take my life"
Cinder lost her hand 😲

Don't mess with us Cinder fans. There are, like, 9 of us.

[Kazuma]

Some people have demons. Other people became those demons.

[Ponera-Sama]

"You were right. Without you I *am* nothing... But now thanks to you, I am *everything"*
I have a feeling this isn't the last time we'll hear this line.

Watch out, Salem. All along, the biggest threat to your master plan was the soul-stealing arm that you yourself created.

I literally typed in "Cinder's Song" and was greeted with this as like the 4th option and clicked cuz I know this is Casey's Band and to my surprise, it really was the song from the episode

[RedTheRoyal]

Words cannot express how excited I was to hear this in the episode, already one my favorite songs from them plus the lyrics fit well!

[swirly]

I JUST REALIZED WHAT THE "TRUTH CAN BREAK YOUR SOUL IN TWO" LINE IS REFERENCING OH MY _GOD_

[shadowwolfhellsresident]

Casey is just such a good singer, I'm kinda jealous Lol, but she really is fantastic lol

[mr.eldritch]

Wow. I had no idea rwby ever used songs outside their own ost. Well at least that means I don’t have to wait for the volume 8 soundtrack to come out to download this one....wanted to download it since episode 6....

[DVRLNG]

3:30 *Best part.* 5:30 *Complete Chills.*

*Period.*

[davidlangston]

I've been looking for this song ever since watching Cinder fight, it just drew me in, it was so beautiful, I can't help but listen to this song over and over again

[sincerelykiwii]

I listen to Ok Goodnight religiously. You have no idea how fast I jumped up when I heard Awake. I started jumping around and saying "Holy fuck, holy fuck no way!"

[erickamakeeaina]

This song is so rocking yet, oddly Somber, particularly at 4:26
So fitting for Cinder

[shadowrosepaiton_]

DAYUM! Go off Casey! Holy shit the ending?! I have been sent and slain at the same time!
