Song Description

A progressive, Muse-styled ballad about dreams and exploration. Uses the Emerald City from L. Frank Baum's Wizard of OZ as a representative of far off, fantastic places.

Lyrics

I'm running out of my mind
I'm sinking deep inside
I've released the darkest light
From my head

There's two sides fast intertwined
My brightest dreams refined
Set against one single line
And it says
You've gotta let go in the end
You've gotta let go in the end
You've gotta let go

But I'm not able
I still long for higher realms

The emerald city's a lie
The glasses fool your eye
All the color bleeding dry
In the end
You've gotta let go in the end
You've gotta let go in the end
You've gotta let go

But you and I aren't able
We would leave the earth behind
Just to see it all

But we're not able
We'll leave the rest behind
To see it all

Oh, but you and I aren't able
Emerald cities in the sky
We will have it all

You've gotta let go in the end
You've gotta let go in the end
You've gotta let go

But you and I aren't able
We would leave the earth behind
But that's just the price you pay
When there's no more, no more

We haven't long to wait..
