Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Jason]
Now What You See Is Just An Old Fantasy
It's The Image Of Me That My Fans Use To Dream
I'm Very Sick Into That Reality
But My Love For Life Is So Strong And I Still Exist

Life Is Not Being Easy On Me
But Thanks To All My Fans
I Will Always Be
[Jason & Main Choir] Playing In Their Dreams

[Jason]
All Humans Should Live In Their Fantasies
So They Can Stay Away From Any Sorrow And Pain
Just Look At Me I Was Forced To Stop Playing
The Power Of Their Dreams Can Make
My Hands Fly Again

Life Is Not Being Easy On Me
But Thanks To All My Fans
I Will Always Be
[Jason & Main Choir] Playing In Their Dreams
[Jason] Life Is Not Being Easy On Me
But Thanks To All My Fans
I Will Always Be
[Jason & Main Choir] Playing In Their Dreams

[Genius]
Tell Me That What I See Is Real !
That You're Not Just A Fantasy Of A Dream !
Tell Me You've Won Your Fight
And You're Going To Play For Us Again !

[Jason]
I Once Heard That A Human Entered This World...
Do You Know ? Please My Dear Friends Tell Me More !
[Twin Spirit N. 32]
The King And His Little Son Are In Danger !
He's That Human And I'm His Twin Spirit
[Genius]
The League Thinks It Was Their Fault
But It's Really Mine !
[Jason]
Now I Know What The Baby Was
Being Sent The Asian Stores...
Now I Know He Was The Little Prince
One More Ship Is Leaving Today
For The Asian Kingdom Where He's Being Kept
You Can Hide Yourself Inside And Leave !

[Twin Spirit N. 32 & Genius] We Will Go !
[Jason] Good Luck !
[Jason & Main Choir] Now Go And Save The Prince !

[Genius figured out that the music was played by the fantasy image of the great guitarist Jason Becker, one of his most admired guitar players ! Being extremely popular in Japan and dedicated to eastern sounds, a se tof infinite versions of him was made available at the European "Japan Fantasies" store, ready to be used for the fans that were dreaming of him ! Genius and Twin Spirit N. 32 were delighted and enlightened by the fantsstic melody that Jason was playing and for a while, they forgot about their troubles. The information from Jason was very insightful and luckily, there was a possible aim to reach for. Among all of the Dream Kingdom there was an intense exhange of objects and fantasies performed by many ships that were exchanging objects and fantasies of different cultures everyday...]





[Storyteller]
Jason led them to a place where the ships were leaving for the Asian Kingdom. After a sincere thanking, they slipped into two cases filled with strange looking objects and proceeded very carefully, hoping not to be noticed. Five minutes later, they were carried into an enormous ship and eventually left for the Asian Kingdom. The prince was waiting to be destroyed as a toy fantasy in one of the Asian stores due to the sentence of Maindream for his father's crime. There as no time to waste, Christmas was getting nearer and during that time many children dream about dolls ! Meanwhile, the Dream League commander was still searching for Twin Spirit N. 32 and he couldn't explain why he was not at his console in the European Twin Spirit land ! He was extremely upset and asked his troops to be wiser and search farther.

Overall Meaning

In "Dream in Liberty," Jason Becker sings about his struggle with illness and how his fans keep him going, even when life isn't easy. He sings about the power of dreams and how they can inspire and heal, and he encourages others to believe in their fantasies and use them as a coping mechanism. The song takes a fantastical turn when Genius, the singer of the story, hears Jason's music and realizes that it's being played by a fantasy image of Jason, created for his fans to dream about. Genius and his ally Twin Spirit N. 32 go on a quest to save the prince of the Asian Kingdom, who is in danger of being destroyed as a toy fantasy due to his father's crime.


The lyrics of "Dream in Liberty" are deeply personal, as they reflect Jason Becker's struggles with ALS, a neurodegenerative disease that has left him unable to play guitar or move freely. Despite his illness, however, he remains a beloved musician and inspiration to many, and the song is a testament to his resilience and determination. It's also a tribute to the power of dreams, which can help us transcend our physical limitations and find joy and hope even in the most challenging circumstances.

Very underrated work. Great performances from Daniel Gildenlöw, Russell Allen y Mark Boals (the rest of them are also great, but this three are my favourites). Daniele Liverani is a real Genius.
