Cover art for Sensorium lyrics by Epica

This was the first song that i heard from epica, and i have to say that the meaning behind it is quite simplistic. " Being conscious is a torment, the more we learn is the less we get" The chorus speaks for itself. Why be conscious and know noting, when you could live in the doldrums of you mind searching for your own personal life answers? Even so, being conscious and dealing with all the secrets of life can be a burden.
