Shaped While I’m Awake is a gothic darkwave track by Sindy that explores identity, control, and self-awareness through the metaphor of an ancient sculpture brought to life. Set in a stone artist’s studio inspired by ancient Greece, the video follows Sindy as a figure carved into being — conscious before completion, questioning who she becomes when shaped by another’s hands.

With moody atmospheres, restrained emotion, and hypnotic vocals, Shaped While I’m Awake blends classical imagery with modern darkwave aesthetics, capturing the tension between creation and confinement. This haunting visual and sonic experience continues Sindy’s exploration of selfhood, transformation, and quiet resistance.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Cold hands, I feel the pressure
Every strike removes my name
You see beauty, I feel measure
I’m awake inside the frame

Dust falls like silent weather
I don’t scream, I just remain
Learning shape before I’m living
Learning loss before the pain

[Chorus]
I’m shaped while I’m awake
You decide what I become
Every part you choose to take
Leaves me closer, leaves me numb
I’m shaped while I’m awake
Still breathing in the stone
By the time you call me finished
I don’t know if I’m my own

[Verse 2]
I hear voices through the marble
Calling something I should be
Every line you cut is gospel
Every flaw erased from me

I would move if I were able
I would choose a different form
But you’re carving out my future
Like it’s shelter, like it’s norm

[Chorus]
I’m shaped while I’m awake
You decide what I become
Every part you choose to take
Leaves me closer, leaves me numb
I’m shaped while I’m awake
Still breathing in the stone
By the time you call me finished
I don’t know if I’m my own

[Outro]
If I open my eyes fully
When you finally walk away
Will I stand here as your vision
Or the part you couldn’t erase
