Prologue
F.S.S. Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just on the border of your waking mind
There lies another time
Where darkness and light are one
And as you tread the halls of sanity
You feel so glad to be unable to go beyond

I have a message from another time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to F.S.S. Orchestra's song Prologue describe a conversation between two characters named Cel and Marvin, who seem to be traveling through the Milky Way to reach a destination called Azormia. Cel is experiencing recurring dreams, which Marvin suggests are significant and represent the language of the cosmos. The conversation touches on the power of dreams and the importance of paying attention to their meaning. The scene ends with Cel and Marvin being intrigued by the sounds of Oompa practicing music with buttons and wires in his room, prompting them to investigate further.

The lyrics in this song suggest that dreams are not just random occurrences, but rather a language that can provide insight into the cosmos. This is a common theme in science fiction and in actual scientific exploration, as many scientists believe that dreams and the unconscious mind can provide new insights into the world and the universe. The mention of Mr. Nimoy, who has turned an entire planet into a music theatre, suggests that the characters in the song are involved in some kind of sci-fi adventure or journey.

Overall, the lyrics to Prologue are cryptic and abstract, leaving much up to interpretation. However, the themes of dreams, music, and exploration suggest that F.S.S. Orchestra is creating a story that seeks to connect the cosmic and the personal, the scientific and the emotional.
