Inside
Avantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deep inside your mind
Some call us their fantasy
But some to never find
We can teach philosophy
But still we must commend
The state of our existence
Right into your hand wlcome to this place in here come overstep all your fears
Where have you all been once
When I was alone?
When I was a hero in their crazy wicked show
You've sent no little spark
Into my darkened view of life
Did not make me ask for what is wrong
And what is right
And still I regret to be here
I'm dreaming of anna in tears
Inside, so deep inside
You will die if I don't dream anymore?
Inside, so deep inside
You will die if I don't dream anymore?
The opening lines of Avantasia's song "Inside" refers to the little creatures that live deep inside our minds, which some people may call their fantasies. These creatures, however, may never be discovered by some individuals. The lyrics suggest that these creatures have the ability to teach philosophy, but ultimately, their existence is within our hands.
The song transitions to a reflection on the past where the main character was a hero in a crazy and wicked show, but during that time, no one was present to provide comfort or offer guidance. No spark of hope was given to the character, nor were they helped to distinguish right from wrong. The character now regrets being in this present state and dreams of Anna, crying tears of despair.
The chorus emphasizes the deep and significant effect that dreams have on an individual's life. Without dreams, there is a fear of death, and the imagination loses the power to create a world outside of reality. It is as if the little creatures inside one's mind are responsible for the vivid and enchanting world of dreams, and without them, there is a risk for emotional death and despair.
Line by Line Meaning
We're the little creatures
We are the thoughts and feelings that exist within your mind
Deep inside your mind
Within the deepest parts of your consciousness
Some call us their fantasy
People refer to us as their imaginations or dreams
But some to never find
However, some people are unable to tap into this part of their mind
We can teach philosophy
We can guide you to deeper understanding of life
But still we must commend
Despite this, we cannot take complete credit
The state of our existence
We are merely a reflection of your own thoughts and emotions
Right into your hand welcome to this place in here come overstep all your fears
We invite you to this inner world to overcome your fears and doubts
Where have you all been once
Why were you not present in my life before?
When I was alone?
During the times in which I felt isolated and solitary?
When I was a hero in their crazy wicked show
When I was a main character in their wild and unpredictable story
You've sent no little spark
You have not provided any inspiration or motivation
Into my darkened view of life
To change my negative outlook on life
Did not make me ask for what is wrong
You did not encourage me to question what is going on in my life
And what is right
Or what is morally correct
And still I regret to be here
And yet I feel conflicted about being in this place
I'm dreaming of anna in tears
I am yearning for someone named Anna while crying in sadness
Inside, so deep inside
Within the depths of my innermost psyche
You will die if I don't dream anymore?
Will I cease to exist if I lose my sense of imagination?
Inside, so deep inside
Through the furthest reaches of my consciousness
You will die if I don't dream anymore?
Will my sense of self and creativity perish if I am unable to dream?
