Prologue
Light And Darkness 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 of the song "Prologue" by Light and Darkness present a deep and philosophical reflection on the duality between light and darkness. The opening line, "Just on the border of your waking mind, there lies another time", suggests that the mind has a limit to its perception, beyond which lies an alternate reality with unexplored possibilities. As the lyrics continue, "Where darkness and light are one", the concept of Yin and Yang comes into play, acknowledging that light and darkness are complementary forces that interact with each other, and both are necessary for the balance of the universe.


The following lines, "And as you tread the halls of sanity, you feel so glad to be unable to go beyond", describe the fear of the unknown and the comfort zone of familiarity that we often choose to remain in, even when confronted with the prospect of new experiences. This could indicate the singer's desire to explore this alternate reality beyond the halls of sanity, but they are unable or afraid to. The final line, "I have a message from another time", adds a touch of mystery to the lyrics, suggesting that the message is not from the current reality but from the alternate reality.


Line by Line Meaning

Just on the border of your waking mind,
At the edge of your conscious mind lies a hidden realm.


There lies another time
This other realm is a different time.


Where darkness and light are one,
In this realm, the concepts of light and dark are merged.


And as you tread the halls of sanity
As you explore this realm, you try to maintain your mental equilibrium.


You feel so glad to be unable to go beyond
You find comfort in the fact that you cannot fully access this realm and its implications.


I have a message from another time.
I possess knowledge from this other realm that needs to be conveyed.
