Here's one that can be seen to be a metaphor for the awakening process:
Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap

Where are we? What the hell is going on?
Normal moorings are gone - one is trying to get bearings
The dust has only just begun to fall,
This is a new recently acquired state
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.
Removed furniture (parts of ego) are gone leaving marks in carpet (self)
Spin me 'round again and rub my eyes.
Can't focus on old ideas and identity
This can't be happening.
When busy streets amass with people
Would stop to hold their heads heavy.
Amazed to find oneself finally free of ego
When everyone they see are still trapped and suffering
Hide and seek.
The cat and mouse game ego plays to hide the true self
Trains and sewing machines.
Wedding gown train (more parts of ego and identity from past/ old identity(marriage/sewing)
All those years they were here first.
One starts the journey already full of ego identity
Oily marks appear on walls
Pictures on wall (more parts of false self) have been removed
Where pleasure moments hung before.
The pictures represent egos attachment to pleasures
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life.
Realization has replaced thought as emptiness
Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines. (Oh, you won't catch me around here)
No longer will be identified with old self created by thought and memory
Blood and tears (hearts),
Ego always had a component of suffering
They were here first.
Thats where the journey began from.
Mmm, what you say?
Thoughts appear...questioning them
Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
Sarcasm...sees through thoughts lies
Mmm, what you say?
More thoughts....they are questioned...
Mm, that it's all for the best? Of course it is.
More sarcasm, seeing though the false realities presented by thought
Mmm, what you say?
More thoughts...questioned...
Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
you told me what reality is... and who are you!
What you say?
Mmm, what did She say?
Refers to old self as "She" in third person. No longer seen as the self.
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Ransoms are about you give me that for this...no longer fooled by this/delusion..
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
sweet talk = lies from ego/thought, words cut out of newspapers..no context or reality
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
Thought no longer believed...
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.
See though the false realities promised by thought
(hide and seek)
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Thoughts/ego (that for this - ransom) - are not working anymore to hook one
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Sweet talk=fake love...fake promises
(hide and seek)
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.
(hide and seek)
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
(hide and seek)
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
