Elysium
Stratovarius 2011 Lyrics

I've never felt like this before
The feeling is new, strange, and overwhelming

Am I awake? Am I drifting?
Uncertainty about the state of consciousness and awareness

There's a hole in the sky
An indication of something wrong or unusual with the environment

Am I alive? Did I survive?
Questioning the very essence of existence and survival

Broken pictures on my wall
Scattered images of heroes who have fallen

A story of fallen heroes
A tragic tale of heroes who have lost their way

Now stare ahead with their blind eyes on
Eyes that are no longer alive, looking ahead without seeing

Lost horizon
The failure to see a clear future or destination

Sometimes the dream is sublime with you
A beautiful but fleeting dream that brings joy with the presence of someone special

I feel in my mind in heaven
Feeling like one is in paradise, even if it is only a state of mind

I'm reaching this feeling
Striving to achieve and hold onto those positive emotions

It's misleading me away from you
The pursuit of bliss may lead one away from reality and the truth

Tonight, I find what I've been searching for
The moment of discovering what one has long sought

To go look for my wings once more
A chance to find a new sense of direction and to soar again

I'm not afraid anymore
Overcoming fear and finding the strength to move forward

I am ready to fall
Embracing the possibility of taking a chance, even if it leads to failure

I am lying on the frozen ground alone
At a low point, feeling isolated and vulnerable

I got lost on my way, my time is up
Realizing that one has taken a wrong turn, and that time is running out

I need to find the key
Determination to find a solution or the truth

To eternal life and see
Being able to fully grasp and appreciate the beauty and importance of life

The joy, the smile
The happiness and positive energy that life brings

The overwhelming love of God
The unconditional love and support from a higher power

Give me a sign
Request for guidance and clarity

And show me the way
Asking for direction and purpose

To the sacred place
A yearning to find a special and holy destination

I can hear you calling my name
Feeling the presence of someone calling out for help or assistance

From the distant skies
Signs or signals coming from far away, maybe even from above

I am holding falling angel
Helping and holding onto someone who is going through tough times, desperately needing comfort and support

In my arms
Offering protection, safety, and warmth to someone who is vulnerable

Your shadow lurking
A dark or uncertain presence that follows one's every move

In the corner of my eye
Something that is barely noticeable, but still present and perceived

I'm losing sense
Sensory confusion, as if something is not quite right

Of what's real and what's a lie
Unable to distinguish between truth and deception

This life has been too long
Feeling like life has gone on for too long, and that it is time for a change

There's hope everywhere I go
A sense of optimism that things can and will get better

Do you believe in hope and faith
A question about one's belief in positivity and higher powers

Or eternity?
Questioning the reality and nature of existence

In the end, you will see
The inevitability of eventual knowing and understanding

Let thy soul be free
Encouraging the release of the inner self and embracing freedom

Eternal light
A symbol of hope and positivity

Blinded my eyes
The overwhelming brightness and beauty of positive energy

Pain and sorrow
Negative emotions that weigh one down and obscure the positive

Joy will follow
Optimism that positive emotions will eventually replace the negative ones

Now in turn
A shift towards positivity and brighter days ahead

Elysium
A symbol of paradise or a better place

Be afraid no more
Overcoming fear and embracing positive energy

Just take my hand
Offering support and guidance

I'll guide you through the storm
Leading the way through tough times and challenges

We're finally home
Feeling like one has found a sense of belonging and comfort
