[Verse 1]
Right before our eyes
There’s no surprise
We don’t realize
… stolen prize
[Chorus]
Are you aware
(In all fairness)
There’s a lack of awareness
(There)
Did you hear
(Blinders and harness)
There’s a lack of awareness
(Here)
[Bridge]
We’ve got to raise
(Awareness)
Bring up the praise
(Raise)
Awareness
[Verse 2]
Right before our eyes
Fail to recognize
Beyond jeopardize
… stolen prize
[Chorus]
Are you aware
(In all fairness)
There’s a lack of awareness
(There)
Did you hear
(Blinders and harness)
There’s a lack of awareness
(Here)
[Bridge]
We’ve got to raise
(Awareness)
Bring up the praise
(Raise)
Awareness
[Outro]
We’ve got to raise
(Awareness)
Bring up the praise

ABOUT THE SONG
The song “Awareness” is a pointed reflection on the willful ignorance, denial, and complacency that enabled and perpetuated the Trump presidency. It critiques both Trump’s actions and the public’s failure to fully confront or understand their consequences.
[Verse 1 & 2: “Right before our eyes / There’s no surprise / We don’t realize / … stolen prize”]
These lines express a sense of collective blindness or denial:
-
“Right before our eyes” implies that the damage — to democracy, truth, justice — was plain to see, yet many chose not to confront it.
-
“There’s no surprise” reflects normalization of chaos and corruption.
-
The “stolen prize” may metaphorically refer to:
-
The erosion of democratic values,
-
The loss of America’s moral standing, or
-
Even a stolen sense of national identity.
It may also allude to Trump’s own election lies — falsely claiming he was the one robbed, while in fact robbing the public of trust and stability.
[Chorus: “Are you aware / In all fairness / There’s a lack of awareness”]
This is a direct challenge to listeners:
-
It asks if we’re truly paying attention to what’s happening around us.
-
“In all fairness” acknowledges that not everyone was complicit, but most were underinformed, distracted, or misled.
-
“Lack of awareness” points to:
“Blinders and harness” conveys how many Americans were restrained — by ideology, media bubbles, or fear — from seeing clearly or acting boldly.
[Bridge: “We’ve got to raise (Awareness)”]
This is the song’s call to action:
-
It shifts from critique to mobilization — encouraging truth-telling, education, and vigilance.
-
“Bring up the praise” may refer to:
Repetition of “Raise Awareness” in Outro
The repetition emphasizes urgency:
-
The damage has been done, but it’s not irreversible — if people wake up.
-
It’s a kind of chant or mantra, meant to inspire consciousness and accountability.
Interpretive Summary
“Awareness” critiques the Trump era not only for its corruption and extremism, but for how much of the public — and the media — allowed it to happen in plain sight. It identifies a crisis of perception and civic understanding, and insists that only through heightened awareness can the country prevent further decline.
It is less about Trump himself, and more about what we allowed — and what we must now fix.
