Lyrics
I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
I'm immersed in a fantasy, finding it hard to believe what I see.
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
The path I've chosen has led me to a metaphorical wall or obstacle.
And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost
Every day, I feel like I've lost something valuable on this journey.
It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between
A dark and silent barrier, representing a significant obstacle, stands before me.
All I am and all that I would ever want to be
The wall separates who I am from who I aspire to be.
It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries
It's a tragic situation, a towering obstacle marking boundaries that erase my spirit.
My spirit would erase
The barrier threatens to erase or diminish my spirit.
To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak
I aspire to pass beyond the wall, but I fear my weakness may prevent me.
And those are few who've seen it through to glimplse the other side
Few have successfully crossed the wall to glimpse what lies on the other side.
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
The promised land, a metaphorical goal, is waiting like a bride for those who overcome the wall.
The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air
The present moment is a masterpiece, but indecision weighs heavily in the air.
It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me
The wall represents the symbol and sum of all that defines the individual.
It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
A tragic situation, with the wall blocking light and blinding the speaker.
I want to see
The speaker expresses a desire to see beyond the wall.
Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me to know it well
Wealth and luxury have a captivating effect, but it's not the speaker's focus.
The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side
The sought-after treasures are on the other side of the wall.
There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find
There's immeasurable love waiting beyond the wall.
And though it's always been with me
Despite the love always being present, the speaker feels compelled to tear down the wall.
I must tear down the wall let it be
A call to action to dismantle the obstacle preventing harmony and fulfillment.
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony
The speaker envisions achieving harmony, being true to oneself, and smiling at those waiting to cross.
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
A positive image of shining true and smiling back at those waiting to cross the now-removed wall.
There is no loss
There is no loss in tearing down the wall; it is a gain and an affirmation of the self.
