Lyrics
From a distance you searched
Searching from a distance
Across the seas you rode on the tide
Traveling across the seas with the flow
Only to find her perched
Discovering her presence
On the dark side of your mind
Realizing she resides in the darker aspects of the mind
You take a trip in an airplane
Taking a journey in an airplane
There you touched the sky
Touching the sky metaphorically
Into oblivion you fell
Falling into oblivion
But you didn't die, no, you didn't die
Surviving the fall
You did not… lost in the happiness
Not succumbing to loss amidst happiness
Of a slow motion scan a sweet moment passed
Experiencing a fleeting moment during a slow-motion scan
Not knowing who you were, how you were
Uncertain about identity and existence
Who am I dream or reality
Questioning if one is a dream or reality
Of little difference does it make
Emphasizing the insignificance of the distinction
Your soul is filled with ecstasy
Feeling ecstatic within the soul
But your heart filled with hate
Harboring hate in the heart despite ecstasy
From a distance, she observed the fool
Being observed as a fool from a distance
In her kingdom of dreams she ruled
Existing as a ruler in her dream kingdom
From a distance, she observed the fool
Repeating the observation of the fool from a distance
From a kingdom of dreams she ruled
Reiterating her rule in the dream kingdom
Her image all around him
Surrounded by her image, though she was never physically present
No, she was never there
Acknowledging the absence of her presence
You’ll be the lunatic that I am
Becoming the lunatic, akin to the singer's experience
Like love turned to despair
Comparing the experience to the transformation of love into despair
