I believe this song is a huge cry for people to open their eyes and wake up to the understanding the world you live in is a bunch of lies. "Does anybody see whats going on? " " The walls will become sand beneath your feet" (newfound unstable foundation u once thought was solid! ) Look around you, at your government corruption, and the massive media deception. Some bands have been exposing world control long before many even knew of it.
@tmlaporte AMEN! There is someone else out there who sees the light! And why do you think we have not heard from Queensryche in so long? The government put a stop to this band trying to make the world see that it is all corrupt and don't believe anything you see or hear on TV
@MsJunebug69 THX - I just saw Geoff play a very tiny venue last night in Calif. What a kind & humble man he seemed 2be. I just wished that with his now mature & personable audience (such as last night), he wouldve spoken to us, and exposed what so many other still have no idea. Their song "Operation Mindcrime" was a HUGE validation for me - touching on government controlled people poisoning and media thought control. As a teenager, I didn't listen to the words, now I hear them loud and clear.
@MsJunebug69 Revolution Calling has quite a revealing message regarding the "underground revolution working overtime" - the two paired are quite informative. =)) Just taking off and listening to songs by any genre now, you can see this theme. Check out Steven Marley - Mind Control lyrics. Ugh. What a wonderful world. Ever watch the last performances of comedian George Carlin?? Crazy.
The Empire album...one of the greatest trancending albums. Every song on this lp unbelievable, you could still play them today to a new generation and they wouldn't believe that it's over 15 yrs old. This is music....pure and simple.
Without sounding too much like my parents, it just seems like a lot of Metal that is coming out these days simply lacks good arrangement skills. There are some exceptions of course... I dont know, anybody else agree? What makes this song amazing is the way its arranged. Of course Marlboro man is an awesome classically trained vocalist too, which helps.
@vanight Metal? Metal's gone, it's been replaced by Sceammo music. can't even understand it because of the screaming. Rocks been replaced with people thinking lady gaga and katy perri is hard core.
I stumbled onto Silent Lucidity while listening to Jack FM. I'd never heard the song before and I thought it was freaking epic, so when I got home I put it into my personal playlist. Then I got to thinking, "I wonder if the rest of their songs are this good..."
this song is absolutely amazing... im 15 and i listen to them (: we need to bring back this kind of music and get rid of rap and hip hop and all... this was and always will be the greatest genre of music (:
Very exihilirating and soothing. As an opera singer, as Geoff Tate is himself, this song is more simple to comprehend and vocalize. Unlike most mainstream music, this song is just less akward to sing.
"now the applause is gone and i, can dream again"
i'll take whats real

This song has meant so much to me for so long...Queensryche has many songs that really represent many of my feelings. "
Read between the lines,
criticize the words they're selling.
Think for yourself and feel the walls...
become sand beneath your feet.
I'm not joking....these lyrics really helped to change me, and for the better.
