Neverland
Avantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no point of destination
Neverending wastelands, such a wicked odyssey
Don't know what we have done wrong
Lead us back to Rome to follow you again
Bring you the power, get salvation
I know less than all but more
than many who know less
Cought in neverland, no purpose to be seen
There's no point of destination
Neverending wastelands, such a wicked odyssey
Don't know what we have done wrong
Lead us back to Rome to follow you again
Bring you the power, get salvation
I know less than all but more
than many who know less
I know it's keeping us strong
Cought in neverland, no purpose to be seen
There's no point of destination
Neverending wastelands, such a wicked odyssey
Don't know what we have done wrong
Lead us back to Rome to follow you again
Bring you the power, get salvation
I know less than all but more
than many who know less
I know it's keeping us strong
Cought in neverland, no purpose to be seen
There's no point of destination
Neverending wastelands, such a wicked odyssey
Don't know what we have done wrong
Lead us back to Rome to follow you again
Bring you the power, get salvation
I know less than all but more
than many who know less
I know it's keeping us strong
Cought in neverland in the place of many eyes
Make it be what they are allowed to realize
Cought in neverland, heat and fire, snow and ice...
The lyrics of Avantasia's "Neverland" talks about being trapped in a state where it feels like there is no purpose or direction. The singer finds themselves in a never-ending wasteland, a wicked odyssey without any visible destination or clarity on what they have done wrong to deserve such a predicament. They long to be led back to Rome, to have a purpose and someone to follow. The singer is hopeful that by following someone, they will gain power and salvation. The last stanza refers to being in a place where many eyes are watching, and it's necessary to maintain the facade of what they are allowed to realize.
The lyrics of this song are a metaphor for life's struggles. Sometimes, we find ourselves lost and without direction, but it's important to keep pushing through and find a purpose to hold onto. The mention of being led back to Rome might refer to finding guidance and purpose through religion, while the idea of many eyes watching could mean that society often dictates what we should do and how we should behave.

Lyrics:
[Bishop:]
Cought in neverland, no purpose to be seen
There's no point of destination
Neverending wastelands, such a wicked odyssey
Don't know what we have done wrong
Lead us back to Rome to follow you again
Bring you the power, get salvation
I know less than all but more
than many who know less
I know it's keeping us strong
[Gabriel:]
And while they are pulling strings
While they are in command
They're hanging on strings
And fate they do commend into another hand
Cought in neverland, heat and fire, snow and ice
They call nether world what we call a paradise
Cought in neverland and their spirits cannot rise
From the nether world, they can't see a paradise
And the Roman whore, the masters and the slaves
Raging on without they don't know
Good intentions on their minds
Can't ask for why they bow out
[Bishop:]
Lead us to Eden, judge those who bite off more
than they can chew to serve, without they ask
Or call in doubt the ask
[Gabriel:]
Cought in neverland, heat and fire, snow and ice
They call nether world what we call a paradise
Cought in neverland and their spirits cannot rise
From the nether world, they can't see a paradise
[Solo: Henjo Richter]
[Gabriel:]
Cought in neverland in the place of many eyes
Make it be what they are allowed to realize
Cought in neverland, heat and fire, snow and ice
They call nether world what we call a paradise
Cought in neverland and their spirits cannot rise
From the nether world, they can't see a paradise
