Ayreon - The Truth Is Here

A song from Ayreon's newest album, 01011001. Lyrics below.

Last night I had a dream again
My world was black as night
Plagued by visions of a future world
(Mr. L. did you take your meds?)

I sang about these dreams
Warning men of his demise
Wasted words that no one heard
(Won't you please relax, I'll make your bed)

Today I had that dream again
I roamed among the stars
On the wings of an amazing flight
(Mister L do you feel O.K.?)

To a place place beyond the time
Where the sunlight doesn't warm
and color bleeds into the night!
(We may have to increase your dose today)

I know the truth is out there
If you want to see
I know the truth is in here
(Why should we believe you?)
If you want to feel

Now I have that dream again
I live beneath the waves
in a ground of grace and majesty
(Mr. L. can I ease your mind?)

In the distance shadows loom
Cold machines rise from the deep
In a world once proud and free
(Would you free your thoughts, let it all abide)

I hate to have that dream again
They live inside my head
Feeling everything I feel inside
(Mr. L. can you please be still?)

They speak to me in dreams
They can see all I can see
They have always been my guide
(We gota hush now please have another pill)

I know the truth is out there
(Why should we believe you?)
If you want to see
I know the truth is in here
(Why should we deceive you?)
If you want to feel

We are all alone
There is no one there
You don't have to be afraid
(Can't you see through this masquerade?)

We are alone
(We are all close)
There is no one there
(I am so scared)
You don't have to be afraid
(Can't you see through this masquerade?)
(2x)

We are alone
(We are all close)
There is no one there
(I am so scared)
You don't have to be afraid

Last night I had that dream again
My world was black as night
Plagued by visions of a future world
(Mr. L. did you take your meds?)

They speak to me in dreams
They can see all I can see
They have always been my guide
(Won't you please relax, I'll make your bed)

I know the truth is out there
(Why should we believe you?)
If you want to see
(Why should we deceive you?)
I know the truth is in here
(Why should we believe you?)
If you want to feel

This is almost completely off topic to the song, but it's the way I roll. Heh. Anyway, I love this song. It's weird, but it's awesome. It kind of made me think. I must admit, I only did UK A-level psych, but I've always been interested in psychology, and there ARE dangerous, insane people out there ... but sometimes it seems like if you're harmless but don't feel, believe, act like modern society demands, they can just medicate you away. It's sad. Really, it is.

FUCKING. AWESOME.

The best mistake I have ever made was clicking on this band!

Again, FUCKING. AWESOME.

@Rakaloe With Final Fantasy 1 as well ;)

Oh man..

I was browsing the Map of Metal (mapofmetal(.)com, seriously, check it out) and found these guys.

Needless to say, after the list ended, I returned to this band. They have this Irish sound to it (which I love) but they know how not to sound Folk too much.

Again, I love this band.

@CHaRISmatikos Arjen Anthony Lucassen is the name of the genius who writes all these songs. Id assume its him :)

@PrimeTargetSecurity No Dutch

[CHaRISmatikos]

Who is mr L??

[TheSprawler]

@PrimeTargetSecurity Ayreon is the main project of Arjen Lucassen, a Dutch multi-instrumentalist and progressive rock/metal composer. He sort of mixes a variety of folk, metal, electronic, ambient and a whole bunch of other styles into his work. Its easy to go between songs and hear vastly different musical styles.

[PrimeTargetSecurity]

ireland band right?

[limeandstrawberry]

The correct title is "The truth is in here". Just sayin'

[w7class]

@0ManBitesZombie0 I think I understand your point, the concepts of right and wrong are completely man made and dependent on your region, country, culture, religion, customs etc. I like to think therapists view patients objectively, instead of going with what society deems acceptable. Then again, I've never studied psychology.
