Radio Paradise (mobile)

Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I...will be watching over you
I...am gonna help you see it through
I...will protect you in the night
I...am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity
I can't do this
Visualize your dream
Record it in the present tense
Put it into a permanent form
If you persist in your efforts
You can achieve dream control
Dream control
How's that then, better?
Help me
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once, you learn
You're safe from the pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...
I...will be watching over you
I...am gonna help to see it through
I...will protect you in the night
I...am smiling next to you...

wpmccray Mar 01, 2006 - 16:44	Ick. Songs like this are why I listened to punk rock in the first place...plus the beginning seems to be Pink Floyd copy. [ Reply ]
tg3k Mar 01, 2006 - 16:43	Aside from the fact that it was played to death on commercial stations, it's nice to hear this song here on RP. Personally, I'd prefer to hear Empire from the same album this song was on, but this is a nice break from some of the other genres played here. (Particularly the genres I don't care for. ) [ Reply ]
djblitz Mar 01, 2006 - 16:40	Haha this is AWESOME! Long live the 80's and rock ballads.... [ Reply ]

I do believe there was a clause in every 80s hair metal band's record contract stating that they must produce at least one cheesy ballad that sounds nothing like the rest of their songs. This tradition dates back to at least the 70's with bands like Aerosmith and Kiss. "You See Me Crying", "Beth", etc. [ Reply ]

Yup, this is kinda akin to Black Sabbath's Planet Caravan, or Led Zep's No Quarter. The band rocks, and rocks hard, but this is probably their slowest, pop-iest material, and not really a good indication of their real range of musical expression. [ Reply ]
