| Not knowing about some reference you believe to be the meaning of the song doesn't make them stupid fucks. You are, in fact, probably a stupid fuck for making statements like that. | |

My interpretation is not "ridiculous" - you probably have a bias towards altered states of mind. Yours is an obvious interpretation. Check some comments below - apparently we have a slight confirmation of my interpretation. Perhaps not a full trip, but under the influence of some dextromethorphan - yes. Also appreciating the irony of smitty, and the sensationalism of FuckMTV. |

I'm surprised no one's said what I thought to be obvious - a DXM trip. http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/dxm.shtml A dissociative, cold experience. Typically the younger folk abuse cough syrup to get a very decent high. (or low) I don't know what "scene" these guys do, I just happen to have heard the song on the radio and I like it. Unless they're some straight edge band, this should be what the song is about. I think anyone who's been on a DXM knows these feelings to be true. "I’m losing my mind losing my mind losing control." "A dark world aches for a splash of the sun." |

My guess is that this may have been the nightmare that inspired the main character to kill his wife (not girlfriend) in Train Wreck. Or, BNO didn't entirely know what they wanted out of their next album and changed the death to being asphyxiated via a telephone cord vs. noose. |

| Symphony X – Accolade II Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Hello, folks! I'd like to offer some insight. Russell Allen confirmed that the lyrics to "The Accolade" were inspired by his job working as a jouster at Medieval Times. The album that the first accolade was produced on was released in 1997 - the same year that Medieval Times went bankrupt. It's likely that Allen wrote the lyrics before the closing, and after its closing, wrote this about Medieval Times, making it much more emotional for me. So all in all, Accolade was written after he quit his job as jouster for whatever reason. The place closes up, and he decides to make a less-obviously-about-Medieval-Times sequel to it, commemorating it. I like how ThirdRevolution put it in that case. "Accolade II, on the other hand, is bitter and angry in its tone." Indeed, my friend! |
