Lucid Lyrics
wake me from this lucid dream
i no longer have control
grabbing hold of nothing
slipping down the Nile
soft river in white water
dragging down the ill-lit road
gasps for air and awkward chokes
flailing limbs to fight for surface
an edge to take the sun away
a turn of tides the water trails
traveling further down the mountain
slowly losing all will to fight
the river swift it picks up pace
ruthless waves and swelling whirlpools
and soon my body will be thrown down the waterfall
twisting, churning, sinking down
wake before drowning
wake before drowning
settled on the rivers bottom
slipping out of consciousness
wake before drowning
wake before drowning
control is no longer known
i dream lucid i'm thrown awake
grabbing hold of nothing
slipping down the Nile
soft river in white water
dragging down the ill-lit road
gasps for air and awkward chokes
flailing limbs to fight for surface
an edge to take the sun away
a turn of tides the water trails
traveling further down the mountain
slowly losing all will to fight
the river swift it picks up pace
ruthless waves and swelling whirlpools
and soon my body will be thrown down the waterfall
twisting, churning, sinking down
wake before drowning
wake before drowning
settled on the rivers bottom
slipping out of consciousness
wake before drowning
wake before drowning
i no longer have control
slipping down the Nile
soft river in white water
dragging down the ill-lit road
gasps for air and awkward chokes
flailing limbs to fight for surface
an edge to take the sun away
a turn of tides the water trails
traveling further down the mountain
slowly losing all will to fight
the river swift it picks up pace
ruthless waves and swelling whirlpools
and soon my body will be thrown down the waterfall
twisting, churning, sinking down
wake before drowning
wake before drowning
settled on the rivers bottom
slipping out of consciousness
wake before drowning
wake before drowning
i dream lucid i'm thrown awake
slipping down the Nile
soft river in white water
dragging down the ill-lit road
gasps for air and awkward chokes
flailing limbs to fight for surface
an edge to take the sun away
a turn of tides the water trails
traveling further down the mountain
slowly losing all will to fight
the river swift it picks up pace
ruthless waves and swelling whirlpools
and soon my body will be thrown down the waterfall
twisting, churning, sinking down
wake before drowning
wake before drowning
settled on the rivers bottom
slipping out of consciousness
wake before drowning
wake before drowning

Awesome, finally someone took the time to type out what the electronic voice is saying the whole time... just so you know, though, the sung lyrics are Wake me from this lucid dream. I no longer have control. Control has longer known I. Dream lucid and from me wake. It's like the same lyrics but in reverse order, with a few replacements to make it actually make sense.
As for the meaning, I believe we all can relate to the feeling like we're living in a lucid dream, one where we feel it all but can't control it, we're just being swept along to our doom and it's all wrong and slowly we just give up.
The computer completely screws up "consciousness". I can't decide if I love or hate that.
One of my top 3 Idiot Pilot Songs though.
