Journey on the Waves of Time
Ayreon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Earth. On my journey I encounter many fantastic astronomical phenomena."
[Ralf Scheepers]
Fly me across the sky
Fly me to the edges of space
Show me the wond'rous sensations
Guide me through a maze of stars
Guide me to the birth of my race
Give me the answers to questions
Reveal to me secrets of life
Journey on the waves of time
Lead me through the centuries
Lead me to places unknown
Sail me away on the x-rays
Of quasars that died long-ago
Carry me through the universe
Carry me back to my home
In search of the gateway
That leads us into the black hole
Journey on the waves of time
Our quest for life has now begun
The die is cast
Our voyage leads us to the sun
Out of the past
The above lyrics form a part of Ayreon's song "Journey on the Waves of Time" from the album "The Final Experiment". It is sung by Ralf Scheepers, and the lyrics describe his journey through time and space with the Migrator in search of planet Earth. The opening line, "Fly me across the sky, fly me to the edges of space", suggests that the singer wants to explore the farthest reaches of space and witness the dazzling and awe-inspiring sights that it has to offer. He is fascinated by the "wondrous sensations and mysteries of aeons gone by" and wants to understand the secrets of life.
The singer then seeks to be guided through the maze of stars to witness the birth of the human race. He believes that this will provide him with the answers to his questions about life and reveal some of its secrets to him. As he travels further on his journey through time, he is carried through the universe, and he encounters places and phenomena that are unknown to him. The mention of quasars that died long ago indicates that he is traveling through deep space and time.
Finally, the lyrics suggest that the singer's journey is not only about exploration but also about seeking the truth about life and its origins. The line "our quest for life has now begun" suggests that he is searching for the meaning and purpose of human existence beyond just the physical exploration of space. The song encourages us to journey with an open mind and seek to understand the mysteries of the universe.

Viagem nas Ondas do Tempo
"Eu me uno ao Migrador em sua longa jornada através do tempo e do espaço em busca do planeta Terra. Na minha jornada eu encontro muitos fenômenos astronômicos fantásticos".
[Ralf Scheepers]
Voe comigo através do céu
Voe comigo para as bordas do espaço
Mostre-me as sensações maravilhosas
E mistérios de éons passados
Me guie através de um labirinto de estrelas
Me guie ao nascimento da minha raça
Me dê as respostas para as perguntas
Me Revele segredos da vida
Viagem nas ondas do tempo
Leve-me através dos séculos
Leve-me a lugares desconhecidos
Navega-me para longe nos raios-x
Dos quasares que morreram há muito tempo
Carregue-me através do universo
Carregue-me de volta para minha casa
Em busca do caminho
Que nos leva para dentro do buraco negro
Viagem nas ondas do tempo
Nossa busca pela vida já começou
A sorte é lançada
Nossa viagem nos leva ao sol
Fora do passado
Leve-me através dos séculos
Leve-me a lugares desconhecidos
Navega-me para longe nos raios-x
Dos quasares que morreram há muito tempo
Carregue-me através do universo
Carregue-me de volta para minha casa
Em busca do caminho
Que nos leva para dentro do buraco negro
Viagem nas ondas do tempo
Nossa busca pela vida já começou
A sorte é lançada
Nossa viagem nos leva ao sol
Fora do passado

Lyrics in italiano:
"Seguo il Migrator nel suo lungo viaggio nel tempo e nello spazio alla ricerca del pianeta Terra.
Durante il mio viaggio mi imbatto in molti incredibili fenomeni astronomici."
Vola nel cielo
Vola verso il bordo dello spazio
mostrami le stupefacenti sensazioni
e i misteri degli eoni passati
Guidami in un labirinto di stelle
Guidami verso la nascita della mia razza
dammi la risposta alle domande
rivelami i segreti della vita
Viaggio sulle onde del Tempo
Dirigimi attraverso i secoli
Dirigimi in luoghi sconosciuti
Portami tra i raggi-x
di quasar scomparsi molto tempo fa
Portami nell'universo
riportami a casa
in cerca del passaggio
che ci guidi nel buco nero
Viaggio sulle onde del Tempo
La nostra ricerca della vita è ora cominciata
Il dado è tratto
il nostro viaggio ci conduce verso il sole
fuori dal passato

This is a little random, but I actually study the x-rays of quasars that died long ago, so I really appreciate the lyrics.

This song always stood out head and shoulders above the rest in my opinion... This was the album that introduced me to Arjen, and all the wonderful music and memories that followed...

Whichever one of his songs I am listening to at any given moment in time stands out "head and shoulders above the rest." That's why Arjen is the best composer of our time.
