| Dream Theater – Vacant Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I see this song as simply someone drifting more and more out of reality and someone who loves them having to watch it and knowing that they can't do anything about it. It's a very sad song, but god it is so beautiful | |

I see this more as kind of a less supernatural thing. What I've gathered is that there is a man and woman who were in love and the man died, and the woman is in so much pain without him that it's like she's dead but cannot cross over. The line, "His spirit reaching out, meant to save, but she's too scared to take his hand" gives the idea that the woman wants to kill herself to be with her lover but is too afraid. The person whose point of view the song is from seems to care about the woman a great deal, offering her comfort and, maybe metaphorically or literally, life. However, he can see that she is clearly not happy and decides to kill her out of love to stop her suffering, because he cannot stand to see her so unhappy. Then at the end, it seems the speaker who killed the woman cannot live without her and kills himself as well to be with her while she's happy in the afterlife. That's just my take on it. |

I love this song. It's absoultely beautiful and I cried the first time I heard it. It kind of fits with Romeo and Juliet. After he drinks the poison and dies, she kisses him one final time then stabs herself and dies right next to him. "Even in death, our love goes on..." I'm listeing to it right now actually, for the third time tonight. It's just such a beautiful song. Yes, it is about a person going semi-insane and digging up a corpse, but hey, there is a time and place where love conquers all, and this seems to be just that. It also kind of fits with the story of the Sam Shepard drama "Buried Child". There's a family in Illinois where a guy sleeps with his mom (yes, that's messed up) and his father drowns the baby and buries it in the back yard. After that, the whole family goes insane keeping the secret and all the crops that once grew in the backyard begin failing and the family completely deteriorates. The father of the child still goes out to the backyard to sing to the baby and the crops grow for him. It ends with him coming in from the backyard covered in mud, holding the baby's body in his arms, rocking it back and forth and smiling, while humming "Rock-a-bye Baby" to it... it's really creepy, but awesome. I saw it this past weekend 3 times (my brother was in it. he played a schitzophrenic with one leg o_o) and I related it to this song immediately. |
