The Gallery
Thessera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Believing in a lie may be right
Not always your eyes see this lie
Across a way of light, I hear distant voices from outside
Facing a strong wind as if I had wings to fly

Screaming aloud can not send me out
Not always there's someone to hear the sound
Drawing me away from the place I was before
Leading me somewhere, this vortex feels like a tug of war

This deep spotlight swallows me
How can I face it?
I'm not scared at all,
I would like to find out...

How did I reach this place?
And why do I have to play this weird game?
Wish I could believe it's just a lie
Break free from this maze and run away

(Vortex)
Anger, envy
Lover, honey
Suffer, sorry
Brother, bloody

Come to the light
Come see what's inside
Now's time to shine
At the stage of your life

Twisting flashes, looking glasses, I get through them
Colorful beams, a big bell dings inside my head
Outer spaces, out of axis, I get through them
Faces calling, mystic warnings will not let me back

Many pictures on the walls flash moments from my life
Children's play in my room, heroes and cartoons
Suddenly a big flash comes, recalls my great nights
Party's on, sexy girls, drink'n smoke, dancin' floor, the big boom!

The visions around me
Make me think
These conditions won't let me
Leave this game

Traveling across the hall of my mind
I'm drawn towards a face I want to leave behind
Drawing now closer to the last picture on the wall
Then I'm forced in, and in the distance
I hear my father's call

This deep spotlight dazzles me
Now I can face it,
I'm not afraid at all
And I will find out...

How did I reach this place?
And why do I have to play this weird game?




Wish I could believe it's just a lie
Break free from this maze and run away

The visions around him make him think, but he realizes that these conditions won't let him leave this game.


As the song progresses, the singer is taken through a journey of his mind. He is shown pictures of past experiences, including children's play, heroes, cartoons, and partying with sexy girls. Despite these distractions, he remains focused on finding the truth and breaking free from the maze that he feels trapped in.
