World of Make Believe

Within Temptation

On golden wings
She flies at night
With her dress
It's blinding white
Countless diamonds
And her long blond hair
The queen is coming
So you'd better be aware

Her plants and flowers
They are never the same
Blue and silver
It's all her game
flying dragons
And enchanted woods
She decides, she creates
It's her reality

In her world
Of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory

Unicorns appear in her sight
Her fireflies
Lead her through these woods
At night
In search of the legendary amulet
And it's secrets

In the big oak
There is a door
Which will lead her
To the wizard's shore
And she'll ask him
For the wind to sail her home
To the world where she belongs

In her world
Of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
In this world
Of endless fantasy
She makes it happen
It's her reality

In her world
Of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
In this world
Of endless fantasy
She makes it happen
It's her reality

    this song is so beautiful.

    it's about a girl who (obviously) creates a world of her own imagining

    but honestly, it's a shame that no one knows who they even are...

    I agree, they are such an awesome band. But i think its because they havent REALLY released their music internationally. And they haven't toured overseas. The way i got into the band was by downloading an evanescence song i had never heard before. It was called "Within Temptation" Then when i heard it i realised it wasnt sung by Evanescence at all, and the BAND was WT, not the song (the song was restless lol) I am so glad someone made that mistake. Anyway, i can totally relate to this song... the whole bit about creating your own world.

    This song sort of reminds me of myself actually... I also sometimes just start daydreaming and create a different world inside my head. I've been a WT-fan for over 4 years now, but their new albums crap... they've become too popular, and their sound hasn't improved. Mother Earth is their best album and after that it's just gone downhill

    I heard of this band from a Celtic music CD ("Our Farewell" was on it). I found this song quite beautiful. It is of a dreamworld a girl has created for her to escape the harsh reality in which we now struggle to survive in.

    This song is so awesome! It's definitely one of my favourites. It really reminds me of me, because a daydream all the time, just not about fairies... and unicorns... The song sounds really awesome as well... powerful, and stuff.

    My Interpretation

    "She decides, she creates It's her reality."

    It almost sounds as if the girl in the song is trying to escape from the world around her, and to protect herself, creates her own fantasy.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
