Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I will be watching over you
I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity
(Visualize your dream)
(Record it in the present tense)
(Put it into a permanent form)
(If you persist in your efforts)
(You can achieve dream control)
(Dream control)
(How are we feeling today, better?)
(Dream control, dream control, dream control)
(Help me)
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but
I will be watching over you
I am gonna help to see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I will be watching over you
I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity
(Visualize your dream)
(Record it in the present tense)
(Put it into a permanent form)
(If you persist in your efforts)
(You can achieve dream control)
(Dream control)
(How are we feeling today, better?)
(Dream control, dream control, dream control)
(Help me)
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but
I will be watching over you
I am gonna help to see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you

This song is so different to me. It makes me really think deeply. Honestly, my dad just showed it to me last weekend so I had never heard it before. But It carries significant meaning to my life specifically. My dad had a 6-way bypass heart surgery in 2008 over thanksgiving break and he thought he was going to die, so once while I was laying my head on his legs in the hospital bed, he told me a story.
When my Mom found out she was pregnant with me, my parents had already separated and weren't looking to have anymore children. They had talked about how to deal with...me, I guess. They decided to have me aborted. Then one day they were driving to the abortion clinic, and there was a song playing. Since they refused to speak in the car, they listened to this song. Then, while the song was still playing, My father parked next to the clinic, conflicted with a mixture of emotion I'm guessing. In this song, the guitar solo played and my dad listened to the voices in the background and finally heard what sounded like "help me" at the end of that solo. Tears immediately started in his eyes and as my mother started to get out, my dad stopped her and admitted he couldn't do it. Then they drove off, and here I am today:)
But this song is just so moving, I have lost several loved ones and lyrics like these really make it hard not to cry every time I hear them. I never thought a song could move me this much.
great song:)
This, could do well as a blueprint of the music video! I really touch and love on your story man! Really moving. ;')
