Story Behind The Song

This is a rendition of a lucid dream I had and, typical of such dreams, it felt very real with all the typical distortions around time linearity, place and sequence of events typical to dreaming.

Lyrics

Feels like I've been driving all night
On a trail through a million cities
Sirens pouring out of the deep:
Cyborgs and weird new technologies
I am running for my life
Terrified; I don't know why
There's a purple dawn, but tomorrow never arrives
And heaven's people cannot smile
Their peeled faces and gas-flare eyes
Stare at some dark menace
Shinning down my wire
My hair's on fire

Cut to: interstellar diner, there's a man sitting reading Thoreau
He looks at me and says, "You've been stung
Where passion meets its vertigo.
In the days when the Sun seemed warmer
And the nights broader and longer
Obsessions took possession of your
Delinquent soul."
And while the world was sleeping
The angels left the building
And the boundaries of dreams stretched to
Fade and dissolve
Ahead lay only ghost roads
Don't wait now
Go, man go -
Go now.

I ran through endless melting streets
Trying to track a way back home
The tonalities of fear increased
My mind split like a war zone
I saw man's melancholy
Till my eyes grew tired of seeing
Then the Reader led me to the game's portal
He said, "Observe, the world of logic
Holds no molecules of magic
The way back from this madness is to let it all go
Pass through the heart's window
Stash your mind down low
Become zero".

Go Now

Plough the road now
Here and now
Ciao Baby, ciao
Everything's allowed
