| Dream Theater – Hollow Years Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
i think i finally know the exact same meaning of this song, here it goes... I wont pay attention to the verses as the real core is in the chorus, I understand the whole thing is about growing up, getting mature, and being happy: "Carry me to the shoreline, bury me in the sand, walk me across the waters" could be interpreted as how life sucks sometimes and makes us feel so down. "And maybe youll understand" means that after youve been through all that pain MAYBE youll "get it" if youre strong/brave/mature enough, aha? "Once the stone youre crawling under is lifted off your shoulders, once the cloud thats raining over your head disappears, the noise that youll hear is the crashing down of hollow years" Here is where the song gets powerful, it means that once youve left all your baggage and your issues behind and accepted reality, you finally begin to be happy "the stone is lifted off your shoulders" and "the cloud disappears" its like you just started living, and finally the term "hollow years" mean literally all that time in ur life when you still didnt "get it", all those years you felt miserable, but you are happy now, and that the noise that you are hearing is nothing more than the crashing down of those hollow years. hope makes sense to you, cheers. |

| wow this song is so mystical and so polemical, I personally understand that Maynard is talking about getting in a higher state of conscience, about being illuminated | |

I see another meaning to this song: for me, its about how confused we might get about complications of life, but the best way to overcome all that shit is just to accept it and be cool about it... for me its about being strong, facing our fears and accepting our reality... "pull yourself together", "you know its not so bad", "close your eyes and let it pass" peace |
