| Dream Theater – Illumination Theory Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is about the search for meaning in life, the wonder of life and creation and the fight for survival. First part: We find ourselves living, but what are we really living for? What is this all about? "We seek to understand..." Love and hate unite or divide us in this quest. But there is one thing we all see and wonder about and that unites us in our final act of faith. The beauty of nature surrounding us. Second part: The creation. The beauty of the world. You might say. The idea of things (Plato) or the garden of eden. (?) Just, the beauty of it all. Then all of a sudden, like the sound of something crashing down. I say to myself in biblical mythology: "the fall of man" Third part: The stuggle for survival. Everyone living for his thing. Fighting for their lives and struggling to make ends meet. Fourth part: The message: We need to taste the bitter to know the sweet. (Tree of good and evil) There is redemption as we learn to see the necessity of lifes struggles and learn to embrace love and light. Maybe I am totally wrong with what DT thought about while making this song. It´s my two cents of what I think about when I hear this song. |

| Threshold – Staring At The Sun Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
He speaks to a person that thinks about giving up, or even commiting suicide. "But I´ll be staring at the sun" is the encouraging phrase to not give up but to face your life and problems. I don´t have an interpretation for "they". Who is they? "that want us to break at their pointed display of power", and "time will level all they´ve done"? I am not sure if there is an exact definition. |
