Stratovarius - Dreamspace

Looking back through time to my childhood days
I used to have a place where I could escape the reality
But lately things have been so difficult for me
trying to reach for the light in the fall of darkness

Waiting watching my life I'm wasting my time
I'm losing grip from life
Going back to my dreamspace leaving it all behind
soon the things will be allright when I get there

Am I safe in here, nothing left to fear
I will close my eyes and float away with stream

Wandering here in this eternal darkness
no signs of light anywhere I am going in sane
Now I am leaving this life
No hope left I want to die

Anyone else notice that this album makes a dramatic shift beginning with this track? The tracks become very surreal and dark, progressively exploring a conceptual "dreamspace", with the curiously enchanting interlude of Atlantis. Abyss is a return to the darkness, with Shattered being a sort of ultimatum. Wings of Tomorrow suggests the uplifting reality of waking from a night of terror.

I understand the titles and lyrics have very different literal meanings, but this is my interpretation.

One of the best songs ever made!

Stratovarius was a great band, Dreamspace is a masterpiece and has an unique sound. After this album the band only has used the same way to do their songs. Don't get pissed with me, it's my opinion

@PowerMetalFox73 Man the poor dude's been shit outta luck since he left. It sucks it had to end this way but I won't forget his music with Stratovarius.

its to bad, timo tolkki was gonna get the original stratovarius members together to make a new album titled "return to dreamspace" where he would go back to the old heavy style of the first 3 strato albums, but recently he announced he retired. he has a wife and a dauter, so as long as he's happy

I find bands that make a story not just music to be truly amazing and inspiring in some cases

@FujiFlame this interpretation of yours is by my opinion correct because the seemingly simple meaning of a song is a result of a feeling you want to express outwards and finds its way through simple words and tunes. Something like a dream which is thoughts taking form through scattered images. Or something like that anyway..
