On the road
Dr. Dirty (John Valby) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In Novaterra's realm, where magic flows so bright
Shadowstrider roams, through the day and into the night
With spells and synths in hand, he weaves his tales of lore
A rhapsode of mischief, his melodies explore
Synths and spells entwine, in harmonies they play
Novaterran Rhapsode, his magic lights the way
Through cities and through forests, his songs take flight and soar
A rogue bard's enchantment, forever seeking more
He strums the strings of time, to craft a tapestry
Of heroes and of villains, in this land so wild and free
A troubadour of magic, he dances with the Stars
Each note a spell, each lyric, a tale that leaves its scars
The streets are his stage, the echoes of his name
Shadowstrider's melodies, they fan the mystical flame!
In taverns and in inns, his music finds its place
A Novaterran Rhapsode, with magic in his grace!
Synths and spells entwine, in harmonies, they play
Novaterran Rhapsode, his magic lights the way
Through cities and through forests, his songs take flight and soar
A rogue bard's enchantment, forever seeking more!
In each enchanting chord, the echoes of his past
The battles fought, the friendships sought, in melodies so vast
He conjures realms with rhythms, his keyboard as his wand
A wizard of the symphony, his legacy is spawned
With every note he strikes, the echoes of his heart
Resonate through Novaterra, a work of bardic art
The Rhapsode of mischief, his journey never ends
In melodies and magic, he finds his closest friends
Synths and spells entwine, in harmonies they play
Novaterran Rhapsode, his magic lights the way
Through cities and through forests, his songs take flight, they soar
A rogue bard's enchantment, forever seeking more!
So if you wander Novaterra, and you hear that distant hum
Know that it's Shadowstrider, a Rhapsode on the run




With synths and spells as weapons, he shapes the world anew
A Novaterran Rhapsode, creating dreams come true!

Line by Line Meaning

My dreams are fast asleep
I am not actively pursuing my dreams at the moment


So are you
You have also given up on your dreams


I'm still awake and I'm alone
I am still trying to find a way to achieve my dreams, but feel isolated


Fade Away
My hope for achieving my dreams is diminishing


You know I'm just afraid
I am scared of not being able to achieve my dreams


So I make an old excuse so I can stay
I come up with excuses to avoid taking risks that could lead to achieving my dreams


For all of my dreams that slipped away
I have lost hope for the dreams I had in the past


They're dead to the world and that won't change
No one else cares about my lost dreams, and it is unlikely I will be able to revive them


But I still feel nothing
I have become numb to the disappointment of not achieving my dreams


Sometimes the plans just don't work out
Despite my efforts, I have encountered obstacles that prevent me from achieving my dreams


Too many times my faith was torn down
I have lost faith in myself and my ability to achieve my dreams


Can I find a different road
I am searching for a new path to follow towards my dreams


I wanna go back home
I long for a sense of comfort and familiarity


But I see there's nothing there for me at all
I have come to the realization that my past does not hold the key to achieving my dreams


My choices have their cost
I am aware that the decisions I make have consequences


But they say the future's never really lost
Despite past failures or missed opportunities, there is always a chance for success in the future


So they say
This is a commonly held belief


Life can change
There is always potential for life to take a different course and present new opportunities


'Cuz I think that I've been here before
I feel like I have experienced this before


Or was it just a dream
I question whether my past experiences or aspirations were ever real


Could this be a miracle that God set up for me
I wonder if my current circumstances are the result of divine intervention


I take my life for granted
I do not fully appreciate the opportunities and blessings in my life


I've heard it all before
I have been given encouragement or advice in the past that I have not fully heeded


When I thought God had closed the door
When I felt like opportunities for achieving my dreams had ended


He rescued me
I was able to find a way to continue pursuing my dreams


You and me
We are in this together
