| Dream Theater – Bridges In The Sky Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I believe I see the connection of the 'Agnus Dei'-part and some of the lyrics. I think The song is about a mix of Catholic beliefs and Native American beliefs. There is no dubt thers some Catholic involvement in these lyrics. I've heard that some N.A. took some of the Catholic sacraments into their beliefs (I recommend the short-story "The Man to send Rain Clouds" by Marmon Silko for further understanding of this.) I think 'Healing waters' refers to the Catholic sacrament, and the N.A. use this to never get thirsty in the afterlife e.g. "Bury all my pain". |

| Dream Theater – Beneath The Surface Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Yes, this song is about two persons, whereas one of them is leaving the other, the first is suffering. And clues of this is in the choruses, where he 'longed' to be so close, whereas she 'tried' to be so close. I think the meaning of this song is the importance of love from both parts of the relationship. |

| Opeth – Patterns In The Ivy (Part 2) Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I think many of you are right about many things, but here is my meaning. I think the title "Patterns in the Ivy" refers to two lives, which have over time, made a pattern twisted into each other. And I think the lyrics talks about one of them dying, and the other one is unable to grow further alone. But the text also mentions a deeper meaning, with some religious sense, i think. "Is this the end - manifestation" talks about the difference between it all ending after death, and being reborn after death. "A final word for me would be the first for you, The rest is long but I'll go on inside and through" shows that his last word would be his last, and he will be going straight through after death. While her last word would be the first word in a new life, and will rest long. So my interpretation: A couple where one is a believer and one is not, or maybe that the latter is simply not willing to receive the gift of eternal rest. |
