Toys In The Attic Lyrics
In the attic lights
Voices scream, nothing seen
Real's a dream
Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things that you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years
Voices scream
Nothing seen
Real's a dream
Toys, toys, toys
In the attic
Toys, toys, toys
In the attic
Toys, toys, toys
In the attic
Toys, toys, toys
In the attic lights
Voices scream, nothing seen
Real's the dream
Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things that you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years
Voices scream
Nothing seen
Real's a dream
Toys, toys, toys
In the attic
Toys, toys, toys
In the attic
Toys, toys, toys
In the attic
Toys, toys, toys
In the attic
Toys, toys, toys
In the attic
Toys, toys, toys
In the attic
Toys, toys, toys
In the attic
Voices scream, nothing seen
Real's a dream
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things that you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years
Nothing seen
Real's a dream
In the attic
In the attic
In the attic
Voices scream, nothing seen
Real's the dream
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things that you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years
Nothing seen
Real's a dream
In the attic
In the attic
In the attic
In the attic
In the attic
In the attic
In the attic

Toys in the attic is an old expression about going crazy, and this song talks about a guy going bonkers.
i never thought about it like thay kfe2 i just imagined a child growing up and leaving their old toys in the attic, forgotten. anyway this is a great song - so fun and full of energy-----me love!!!

well, i think it is about going crazy, but i was thinking, maybe the toys symbloize the guys childhood, and theyre up in the attic, where noone ever goes. so, if you lock away your childhood memories then you go crazy, maybe? i dunno, this is my first comment on this site so dont flame too hard haha
I like this song
i agree with kre2
This song is about the band's "state of mind". Check out the notes in the Live Bootleg album.
"toys in the attic" is a drug reference. When you're 8 miles high, you have an altered state of mind. "the attic" is your mind, when you're high you have "toys in your attic". things in your mind that you can play with.
watch this song live, tyler points to his head when he sings the chorus.
reals the dream
@dcfunk I am majorly against drugs but you are 100 percent right. They were young and experimenting been there done that. It all makes sense to me now. But I will say that drugs are no good and I’m not proud of that phase of my life. But I’m thankful that I made it out of those times free and clean.

Hello, I'm a first time caller. I tried to read the Guidelines. But I got lost in the binary data.
I agree with kfe2. "Toys in the attic" means a cluttered attic (or mind). Weather it was drug induced or not (probably was), it means the person is not in a rational state of mind.
"Toys In The Attic" = Issues in the mind
The title track, "walk this way"....what a GREAT album! Head and shoulders above their later stuff.
I was reading the book "Arrowsmith" in high school when I saw "Aerosmith" spray painted on the men's room stall. I thought -this book is COOL!
