musings of a neurotic mind

“Thirsting for salvation
You’re off to find the stairway
Novice on your never ending ride
Whatever you may find dare to take it higher
Here’s your instigation on your trip into the light

Standing at the temple
Where the wizard shall arise
You listen to the beauty of the song
A melody of promise calling from the dark
Tear down the portal and then go on and

Come and fly away with me
And your eyes are gonna see it all
And sleep with the fire - do you feel me
Go obtain divinity, be the one you wanna be
And don’t be afraid to give in

A ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies”
(Edguy - The Piper Never Dies)

Strong on your feet you were blinded
Building up a tower on shaking ground
Once in a world full of colors
Back to see just ruins there to be found
And now you’re falling, crawling
Digging in the broken remains
Of what had to be taken for strong
Slowly it’s been fading away
Come into the painting on the wall
So the joker smiles
Come into the painting on the wall
No more crying
Illusions let you in from the rain
Follow Mr. Hopkins, get insane
(Edguy - Painting On The Wall)

And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it’s a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
Before the second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Walk on
Walk on
What you got, they can’t steal it
No they can’t even feel it
Walk on
Walk on
Stay safe tonight
(U2 - Walk On)

discovered a new genre: progressive rock and space metal. from time to time i have to look for something new to listen to. in spring 2003 i stumbled upon Avantasia, the metal opera: power metal at it finest! now i moved one step ahead to explore the “space opera” Ayreon. it’s a blend of prog rock, prog metal and space metal. great pieces of music, no doubt about that.
np: Ayreon - Dawn Of A Million Souls

sometimes a song describes how you’re feeling better than words can do. this is especially true today.
“I know
It’s stuck inside your head
You’re alone
You better get used to it
And I know
The feeling has to end
You’re strong
It sucks you in again
And you’re lost
You can’t make any sense
This world
It tears you limb from limb
And hold on
You’re nothing but the best ”
(Our Lady Peace - A Story About A Girl)

time to get serious again. wiped the harddisk and re-installed windows xp. no gaming for a few months. there is this little project of mine called PhD thesis… a song describes my feelings better than my humble words:

“I see an endless road
I feel the restless wind
I’ve lost the fear inside
Cause I’ve got no choice
But to live or die
Suddenly you’re in this fight alone
Steppin’ out into the great unknown
And the night’s the hardest time
When the doubts run through your mind
Cause suddenly you find yourself alone
Suddenly you find yourself”
(LeAnn Rimes - Suddenly)

“Some days it don’t come easy, and some days it don’t come hard
Some days it don’t come at all, and these are the days that never end
Some nights you’re breathing fire, and some nights you’re carved in ice
Some nights you’re like nothing I’ve ever seen before or will again”
– Meat Loaf - I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)

I think you’re so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I’m scared - I think too much
I know this is wrong it’s a problem I’m dealing
If you’re gone - maybe it’s time to come home
There’s an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
(Matchbox Twenty - If You’re Gone)

Waiting for tomorrow, for a little ray of light
Waiting for tomorrow just to see your smile again
Take away my sorrow from a blistered heart of mine
Where are you now if you are there anywhere
(Avantasia - Anywhere)
