After recording the album, Woolfson worked with Brian Brolly to adapt the album into a stage musical. As befits the title, all of the songs on the album are references to theories of Sigmund Freud. The album features all of the usual musicians and vocalists involved in The Alan Parsons Project plus a few new guests.

A brief reminder of reality

Lead vocal: Chris Rainbow

And now you are alone my friend
And I must set you free
And you must face the world outside
And find your destiny

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Destiny" by Freudiana are a reminder to the listener that they must face the world and find their destiny. The song is sung by Chris Rainbow, who addresses an unknown person, telling them that they are now alone and must find their way in the world without him. The lyrics are uplifting but also bittersweet, as the person is encouraged to find their purpose but is also reminded of the challenges that come with it.

The message of the song is clear - everyone must find their own path in life and face the challenges that come with it. As much as we might wish to hold on to the people and things we love, we must eventually let go and forge our own way. This message is expressed beautifully through the simple yet powerful lyrics of "Destiny."

Line by Line Meaning

And now you are alone my friend
You are now on your own without my support, my dear friend

And I must set you free
I have to release you from my hold and let you go on your own

And you must face the world outside
You have to confront reality, the world beyond me, and experience it for yourself

And find your destiny
You have to discover your own purpose in this world, your fate or destiny without my guidance
