Theater
Emerald Mind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the dust behind the scene
I am waiting for the time
When mystery begins
And words become a rhyme

Face in mirror, wearing mask
Smell of old perfume and dust
Centuries-old romance
Every night is new
Dive in fiction for two hours:
What is really true?

Acting like it's one last time
Inspiration from within:
So divine!

Tonight our song will come in your home
No one on the Earth will not be alone
Till the dawn! Till the dawn!

Surrounded by borders of atmosphere
We'd built up the theater and act here
Till the dawn! Till the dawn!

Distant sounds of an orchestra
Excite my mind
From the depth of my memory
Strange visions come to light

Acting like it's one last time
Inspiration from within
So divine!

Tonight our song will come in your home
No one on the Earth will not be alone
Till the dawn! Till the dawn!

Surrounded by borders of atmosphere
We'd built up the theater and act here
Till the dawn! Till the dawn!





The certain falls but we keep playing our lives
