Infinite Dreams Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Snyarhedir

I think that this song may be about "Beyond the Wall of Sleep" by H.P. Lovecraft. I will let the rest of you look it up rather than try to describe it. (I have a bad habit of writing short essays on this site.) I was going to leave this comment perhaps a year ago, and instead made a similar one on Starblind. While Starblind does remind me of the same story (which I read for the first time after having listened to both songs), Infinite Dreams is much more likely to have been inspired by it.

My Interpretation

@Snyarhedir I can definitely see where you are going with your link to the story. I wonder if they would have tied the ending of the story (a star) into the song though ... or perhaps as you say only inspired and not an actual retelling of the story in song.
