The word awake is used because there are no words to describe "knowing". If I were fully awake right now, there wouldn't reply to this thread. you can't be "awake" and be "here" at the same time. People that have been awake are not when they are telling you about it. They can only tell you what they managed to remember. It isn't a perpetual state of "knowing".
