(Genius)
Can You Tell Me What's Going On ?
Help Me !
(Twin Spirit N. 32)
Please Don't Bother Me
'Cause I Was Born
A Few Minutes Before
You And I Really Don't Know
What's Going On
And Where We're Going
To Leave For
(Genius)
Hey ! But It's The Same !
Can You Hear That ?
(Twin Spirit N. 32) What ?
(Genius) The Same Incredible Experience I Had
It Is The Same...

(Genius & Twin Spirit N. 32) Sure !
(Genius) When Early Today Lying In Bed
I Felt That Crazy Sensation In Me !
(Twin Spirit N. 32) Boy ! I'm Going Mad
So Listen Please !
Yes... That's The Sequence That We Use To Knock
On The Gate That Led Us To Mc Chaos Kingdom
You Have Just Been Admitted Here
Through That Gate, So Please Don't Be Silly Now With Me !
(Genius) Wow ! What A Big Mess I Can't Explain
I Hope That This Will Be
Only A Funny Dream But If It's Not
I Want To Know !
Can You Please Tell Me More About This Crazy World !

(Twin Spirit N. 32) We're Twin Spirits Of The Humans That
Suddenly Started Sleeping
Mine Is A Boy Called Genius

(Twin Spirit N. 32) Oh... Please Come On !
You're Surely Wrong
A Human Can't Come To
This Secret Kingdom
Thirty Three Stop !
I Won't Go On

Then Tell Me What
You're Dreaming At The Moment
(Genius) Thanks ! You're Really a Friend !
I'm Really Amazed !
Really Amazed By All
Your Faith But Anyway...
I'm Dreaming Of Being Suspended
Floating In A Cloudy Wide Space
And Slowly Attending A Long Queue
Of People Walking Slowly Ahead
There's No Ground All Around Everything
Seems To Be Like In A Romance
In Front Of Me This Man Keeps
Telling Me Saying He's My Twin Spirit !
(Twin Spirit N. 32) Oh...That's Really Great
Just Let Me Check 'Cause I Really Don't Care
About Your Tales And I'll Tell You Soon
What Kind Of Lie I Have Heard
Now I Can See In My Memory
My Owner's Dreaming Of A Cloudy Wide Space
I Can See Him Attending A Long Queue
Of People Slowly Walking
Yeah ! Right !
Oh My God The Same View !
I'm Afraid You Are Telling The Truth !
What A Mess I Think You Are My Owner !
Maybe You Are Really Genius
(Genius) You Got It Finally !
(Twin Spirit N. 32) But Genius...How Did You Get Here !

(Twin Spirit N. 32) We're Twin Spirits Of The Humans That
Suddenly Started Sleeping
Mine Is A Boy Called Genius
I Hold The Key To His Dreams And Yours ?
What's Your Human's Name ?
(Genius &Twin Spirit N. 32) Mc Chaos Kingdom ?
What The Hell Is That !
Mc Chaos Kingdom ?
What The Hell is That !
(Genius) I Didn't Knock On That Kingdom's Gate
I Am Genius !
(Genius & Twin Spirit N. 32) What A Dangerous Paradox
Paradox, Dangerous Paradox !

(Twin Spirit N. 32) I Guess That Your Mind Was Listening To
That Strange Clock Sequence
While This Morning You Were
In A Sort Of Sleeping State
You Must Have Created
A Magic Connection
Between Dreams And Reality...
Your Imagination Has
Probably Directed
That Sound To The Kingdom Gate

(Twin Spirit N. 32) We're Twin Spirits Of The Humans That
Suddenly Started Sleeping
(Genius) I Didn't Knock On That Kingdom's Gate
(Twin Spirit N. 32) Mine Is A Boy Called Genius
I Hold The Key To His Dreams !
(Genius) I Told You I'm Genius
(Genius & Twin Spirit N. 32) What A Dangerous Paradox
Paradox, Paradox, Dangerous Paradox !

(Well, you probably didn't imagine that when humans start to dream, the adventures, the great fantasies, that they experienced are caused and controlled by their assigned twin spirit. This Twin Spirit is a sort of guide created to handle the dremaers minds, making them live what they dream as if it was true. But, under normal circumstances they shouldn't see him and they shouldn't even know about his existence. When created, to be admitted, the twin spirits knock at the gates of the Dreams kingdom with a particular beat sequence that works as a password. Causally, the Genius clock alarm beated exactly the same sequence, and, being a drummer himself, he started to imagine in his mind a snare drum pattern that followed that beat. He was not completely awaken and the snare beats he was imaging of reached the dream kingdom gate, and he was wrongly admittend in that parallel dimension by the doorkeepers considered as a regular Twin Spirit ! )





(Storyteller)
The two brand new friends found themselves in a very long and funny coloured train where the twin spirits grouped in pairs, were sitting. The train started unexpectedly its race and immediately reached an incredible speed !Infatc, after some minutes, the train eventually reached its final destination. The Twin Spirit Land. The Stationmaster was an old man that since the birth of time has always greeted the new twin spirits at their arrival to the land)

Overall Meaning

In Genius Rock Opera's "Paradox," Genius wakes up from a dream and begins to have a conversation with a Twin Spirit named N. 32. The two discover that they are both Twin Spirits of their respective human counterparts, and Genius has inadvertently entered a secret realm known as Mc Chaos Kingdom. N. 32 explains that the Twin Spirits are created to guide and control their human's dreams, but they are not supposed to be seen or known about by the humans. The two then travel on a train to the Twin Spirit Land, where they are greeted by an old Stationmaster.


The lyrics suggest an interesting concept of the role of dreams and the subconscious mind. It portrays dreams as a shared experience between humans and their Twin Spirits, where dreams are shaped and controlled by these spirits. It also touches on the idea of parallel dimensions and the possibility of accidentally entering them through the power of imagination. Overall, the song seeks to blur the line between dreams and reality, exploring the paradoxes that exist within the human mind.

"Genius : A Rock Opera" counts 3 CD's, this one is the first. A really good tune, personnally, i prefer " Without me today", "Pride" and "There's a human". Mark Boals, that I discovered here, shows us the width of his voice's tessiture, and Oliver Hartmann, in "There's a human" is just epic as hell!!!

...Sem dúvida que essa é a melhor do álbum...
