Parasomnia Lyrics

The song begins with what seems to be someone entering a death state. This part of the lyric says it clearly: "Lost the light of day Lost my picture of you (Losing the ego) The nightmare (the death) I was afraid of Just becoming the truth" It's curiose the way he use Mr Hide as God. The lyric then says it was he who made it happen. "Oh no What have I done Can't just put it all behind me Can't afford to lose my mind" When he begin to lose everything, he tries to get something of it. "You don't know how much I need to Find a way to bring you back" The second part looks like some one doing the same quest but through some kind of meditation. "Drugged from sleep In front of the mirror Shrugging off the darkest fear Keep asking myself the same question When did I turn to this side of me When did I turn to this side" The last words are "Back again..", almost like he could reenter a new life
