Return to Serenity Lyrics
I'm gonna take you
To a place far from here
No one will see us
Watch the pain as it disappears
No time for anger
No time for despair
Won't you come with me
There's room for us there
This innocent beauty
My words can't describe
This rebirth to purity
Brings a sullen tear right to your eyes
No time for anger
No time for despair
Please let me take you
'Cause I'm already there
I'm so alone
My head's my home
I'll return to serenity
Rhyme without reason
Is why children cry
They see through the system
That's breeding them just so they die
So please let me take you
And I'll show you the truth
Inside my reality
We shared in my youth
I'm so alone
My head's my home
And I feel
So alone
You know
At last
I return to serenity
Now that I've taken you
To a place far from here
I really must go back
Close your eyes and we'll disappear
Won't you come with me
Salvation we'll share
Inside of my head now
There's room for us there
I'm so alone
My head's my home
And I feel
So alone
You know
At last
I return to serenity
To a place far from here
No one will see us
Watch the pain as it disappears
No time for despair
Won't you come with me
There's room for us there
My words can't describe
This rebirth to purity
Brings a sullen tear right to your eyes
No time for despair
Please let me take you
'Cause I'm already there
My head's my home
I'll return to serenity
Is why children cry
They see through the system
That's breeding them just so they die
And I'll show you the truth
Inside my reality
We shared in my youth
My head's my home
And I feel
So alone
You know
At last
I return to serenity
To a place far from here
I really must go back
Close your eyes and we'll disappear
Salvation we'll share
Inside of my head now
There's room for us there
My head's my home
And I feel
So alone
You know
At last
I return to serenity

Basically, it's about retreating to a "mental utopia." The speaker is alone, depressed, and wishes to retreat into a mental utopia where he has everything he desires in life.
the speaker seems to be remembering a better time in his life, shared with a loved one. he seems to be imagining the two of them "return to serenity." possibly even completely rejecting the life they currently live in.
does anyone else see similarities to this song and "Beyond The Realms Of Death" by Judas Priest? "I'm so alone, My head's my home" "I am safe here, in my mind"
and there's a bunch of more stuff.
I love the words "rhyme without reason is why children cry they see through the system that's breeding them just so they die" its so poetic and its true. this song is so good that I had to stop myself fromm listening to it cus I was obsessed. I agree with marty1982 and also satinsoven.
It's about that special place in your mind where all problems seem to just disappear.
What a fuckin great song!!!THe arpeggios,solos,vocals....everything's out of the world.I listen to this song whenever I dope

mad song. gotta love a band who can be heavy and soft. and both at the same time..
Freeing your mind from the grasp of the system that looks to brainwash you.
The solo in this song makes me cry, and I don't cry.
