Queensryche - Silent Lucidity Lyrics






Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?

There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension

I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help you see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity

[spoken during solo]
(Visualize your dream)
(Record it in the present tense)
(Put it into a permanent form)
(If you persist in your efforts)
(You can achieve dream control)
(Dream control)
(How are we feeling today, better??)
(Dream control, dream control)
(Help me)

If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...

I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help to see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you....

  31. l.... ....

    I’m fighting stage iv breast cancer. Is it morbid for me to want this to play at my funeral? I’ve been trying to find music I like listening to and that will be appropriate.

    I lost my husband on 5/28/19, he was only 49 years old, my soul mate and the absolute love of my life. In my dreams we are always together again, I hate waking up to reality again when I wake up and realize being with him was only a dream. GGG baby until we meet again my love. ❤️

  45. R.... A....

  51. C.... S....

    January 2020... I was in 7th grade when this song came out... I'm going on 42 and still tear up when i hear this song!

  52. S.... R....

    Only those who were fortunate to have witnessed MTV during the 90's can appreciate how much the world needs the 90's back.

    S.... R....

    Not just the 90s, Sharon. I was a young G.I. when MTV first came out in the 80s. Amazing we thought ourselves so modern and sophisticated back then, when we were all still living in the analog age and finding nothing whatsoever wrong with it. Now we live in the nearly-fully digital age, and most of us old enough to have learned it from the 'Old School' are fluent in both 'languages'. But I can also state firmly that what came along with this overdependence on the digital universe, our having flushed things that truly mattered in exchange for hollow promises, artificial urgencies, and too much distance between ourselves to the point we're strangers and enemies, give me 30 or 40 years ago in a heartbeat. Life was vastly better then... for ALL of us. And I'm old enough to be able to make a clear comparison.

    S.... R....

    Yessss!

  53. a.... L....

    He looks so different in this song lol

  54. M.... F....

    Happy Birthbay Geoff Tate

  56. N.... 1....

    HOW I LOVE THIS VID. WISH "THEE SINGER" WERE ...MY GUARDIAN ANGEL.

  57. M.... Q....

    This was playing in the car while I pulled into the hospital. I was about to go visit my dad one last time. I knew I probably wouldn’t see him again. It was so hard to walk in knowing that. And having this on the radio made it so much harder but easier.

  58. S.... C....

    This is still such a timeless song. Love it!

  59. M.... T....

    Toooooop zera..,😍😍

  60. C.... H....

    This is what music is all about. Where did music take a turn for the worst, with lyrics you can't even understand, crude, and such harsh language. What a shame. I yearn for the REAL music that touches your soul. My dream.....

    "There's a place I like to hide,
    A doorway that I run through in the night..."

    I've been experiencing lucid dreams for over 20 years, they are my escape from reality.

    S.... ....

    Amen. Me too

    S.... ....

    Wish that I could. Mine become lucid just a few moments before I sleep or wake. Nonetheless this is a wonderful, magical song

    S.... ....

    I was able to lucid dream when I got really sick a year ago, I was not on any different meds other than some antibiotics IV, but something about it made me be able to. I lost the ability once I got better. I have been trying to meditate and do all the things you are supposed to do, but still can't get there again. Weird!!

  86. A.... A....
