Dec 2013
Pinch yourself and don't feel pain
Earth bound shackles held you down
But strawberry fields let go.

See your childhood love again
Feelings lost can here be found
Play together in the snow.

Drift in limbo through the rain
Watch your past and futures drown
All your thoughts you used to know.

Dive down the darkest abyss
Killing the lurking fiends you find
Here they'll sing about your fights.

Glide through times murkiest mists
Leave all your worries behind
Lose the need of wrong or right.

Climb to the top of your bliss
Behold your wonderful mind
Cry your oceans at the sights.

Jump of the tallest tower
Realise you're falling faster
Your fears come back to haunt you.

Resist but void's your power
She's there but you fall past her
Mephistopheles pulls you.

Your streets open like flowers
He peels the stone like plaster
Fall into his jaws and through...

...Out the other side it's clear
Embrace the one you hold dear
Think of your potential here.
Based on lucid dreaming, a real phenomenon where the dreamer knows he is dreaming (NOT taken from inception!). It shows the restrictions that our (real) world places on us by comparing it with the blissful freedom of your dreams. However despite this, we must embrace what we have.
