A Winter's Dream - The Ascension (Part II)

Symphony X

Still in bed an hour past
I'm drifting through the void
As fallen star divides the sky of divinity

Taken on a journey
And enlightened to the past
And if I wake, if I wake, will it embrace me?

Awoke at dawn to calm the storm inside of me
Take my last breath as I fall into eternity

Risen to an astral flight
I wander through serene with you
Answers to the voices I hear
In a Winter's Dream, a dream

Empty minds still wait, I'm here
Captured by light my spirit rides through the night
And if I dream to wake
Will it embrace me?

When the story fades and all is said done
I can not wait - pray for daybreak -
Will it escape me?

Awoke at dawn to calm the storm inside of me
Take my last breath as I fall into eternity

Risen to an astral flight
I wander through erene with you
Answers to the voices I hear
In a Winter's Dream, a dream

[solos]

In a Winter's Dream - I'll be there for you
In a Winter's Dream - I'll be there, I'll be there

Risen to an astral flight
I wander through serene with you
Answers to the voices I hear
In a Winter's Dream

Risen to an astral flight
I wander through serene with you
Answers to the voices I hear
In a Winter's Dream, a dream

    I believe its I'm drifting through the void. Rather than I'm drifting through night. Stor is also storm, which might just be a typo.

    Awesome song !!!

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

Of Mice & Men
This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
