Cover art for Silent Lucidity lyrics by Queensrÿche

I used to have a recurring nightmare about death. I'd wake up every night and start crying. I had abusive parents and used to hide behind my bedroom door at night. My family thought very little of me. I became what they saw in me. By doing so, I became a master of illusion. A caring man with very special gifts let me know that I am never alone. He helped me to see that I can overcome this tragedy in my life, but I need to break down the walls I built within me and learn to trust him. Lucid dreams helped me to learn dream control and when I confront danger in my dreams I fly like a bird. He helped me to realize that my life dreams can become a reality. There is a message in the middle of the song where you here me crying out for help, my step-father's yelling "How dare you do that!", my mother states "Jack don't!", my father asks "What's that?" and my brother says "Don't be stupid!" My name is mentioned several times. This song is about my life.

That's a very intriguing take on the song. It makes me hesitant to contradict what you believe is said in the middle of the song (when there is a man speaking in a deep voice, then overlapping voices & such until you hear a woman gasp, "help me!"). Let the song work for you however you wish. The little things don't necessarily matter in the end! :)
