...amazing mindscape

There's a band that did a lot of their early stuff back in the 80's, early 90's, called Queensryche...not a band I listened to a lot, but they had a great album called "Empire" that came out in 1990 that had some incredible songs on it. One of those songs was called "Silent Lucidity"...it's still played on radio these days...i love the song. It has a dark side, but a really cool flip of the coin type side that rises above the darkness.

There are so many good lyrics in it -- "It's a place where you will learn, To face your fears, retrace the tears, And ride the whims of your mind." Ride the whims of your mind...yeah, i can relate. "If you open your mind for me, You won't rely on open eyes to see." That's probably my favorite part of the song. Have you ever been with someone who you felt you could open your mind to, and then close your eyes and be totally connected? It's really rare...REALLY rare. But so incredible when it happens. It's like unbelievable sex, without the touching. Don't get me wrong -- i'm all for the touching too! ;) But the mind connection...wow. So good it almost hurts.

"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...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..."

Couldn't have said it better myself! ;)

Have a great humpday, everyone! Keep on breathing!!
