Silent Lucidity
Queensryche have messages in their music
Queensryche has many musical albums; however one has stood the test of classic rock time. That album is called “Empire”. This disc features a number of beautiful songs which create a wonderful ambiance. There is a metaphysical theme surrounding the lyrics of some of the songs on the album. Two in particular stand out; one is “Anybody Listening” and the other is “Silent Lucidity”.
Silent Lucidity has a message to humanity and the band and singer Geoff Tate deliver it gracefully.
The first verse of Silent Lucidity starts with a person just awakening from a nightmare. They are quite upset and crying because the dream felt so real. However the inner voice of intuition is reminding them that in the physical conscious world they awoke to, everything is OK. This is conveyed to them as they relax safely tucked under their covers in bed. The person slowly comes to the realization it was all a bad dream spinning in their head.
The second verse reveals details of the dream. It also discloses how the mind tricked the person into literally feeling the pain (which is why they were crying) because someone they love may have died in a vision. It also suggests the mind can manipulate your reality by playing on emotions.
The third verse has the intuition advising, to the person, the dream is over and that everything is alright in the “now” while the person is wide awake. Since it was a dream the rational mind concludes, the person in the dream that may have died, is OK and therefore the person who had the dream has another chance to connect with them. However intuition suggests “reality” is in fact the dream and thus hints towards the realization to the intellectual mind that this discovery is the beginning of realizing this.
The fourth verse reveals that dreams are a way of escaping the reality of life in the conscious world and running through the dimensional dream doorway. The intuition, or now the higher self is indicating to the lower self that they have indeed been here before (to the higher dimensions) despite the initial fear of the unknown.
The fifth verse, the lower self has been swept into the higher world listening to the objective explanation of the higher self. Memories of previous incarnations come flooding to the lower self and why they were needed; in other words to face your fears and learn lessons in order to help the soul grow and get closer to integration with the higher self. Reality is lighter in this realm and the mind can trace all the incarnations with but a whim. The lower self realizes how powerful thoughts are and witnesses the mastery of using them in this magic new dimension of pure love.

The only repeated lyrics in the song start in the sixth verse. They are warm loving words from the higher self - which is the perfect you - reassuring you that you are always watched over and are loved unconditionally. Using night as an analogy, the higher self indicates that they will be there for you during times of darkness in the conscious world, and will never leave your side, always protecting you and being bright and positive.

Silent Lucidity is mentioned before the next verse, and having lucid dreams indicates you recognize you are dreaming and thus can control your dreams or your reality. This refers back to the third verse suggesting that reality may actually be the dream.
The seventh verse has the lower self, back in conscious reality and is talking to them through intuition again. This suggests that in an instant the lower self has been transferred back to the dense reality of the third dimension only this time they are in full contact with their higher self through the right side of the brain using intuition.
The second part of verse seven gives clear instructions from the higher self to the lower self in regards to mastering your thoughts in the third dimension via intuition. These instructions are as follows:
- Visualize your dream using your inner eye. In other words, dream big and use your imagination.
- Live in the now and use the words I Am, and not I will. Also do not succumb to fear or doubt while you are doing this, but rather use faith to make it an eventual reality.
- Suggesting to put it into permanent form is to make it constantly part of your daily thought process through such practices as; prayers, meditation, visualizations and affirmations.
- If you persist in your efforts you will have achieved dream control in the third dimension, thus resulting in heaven on earth.
- The end of the instructions clearly indicates the higher self senses that every day the lower self is feeling better. And they know they are! You can feel the higher self smiling here.
Between this verse and the next “Dream Come True” is repeated three times. This is because in order for your dreams to come true the mind must be repeating the positive thoughts and affirmations constantly to get through to the subconscious mind and make them a reality. In essence it’s a positive cry for help to the higher self who has now got your attention.
The eighth verse is from the higher self’s point of view. Affirming to the lower self if they open their mind to the higher self, and thus higher dimensions, they will not need to rely on sight for proof and will instead use the power of faith and knowing while developing the inner or third eye. If this is achieved the walls built by the ego will come tumbling down and a new world of peace and love will begin. This is because of the direct connection with the higher self and the magic new dimension. In essence the lower self, or earthbound person, now understands that there are higher powers - that are actually their perfect selves -communicating to us here in the third dimension making our reality and world better.

The ninth verse reiterates the new discovery by the lower self that we (as a
human race) actually exist in two places at the same time. That in fact why we were sent here to eventually understand this and will never die spiritually, and ultimately have the peace of mind that the higher dimension is always free from lower emotions and pain. This allows the soul to be free to fly between dimensions and perhaps even in this third dimension through out of body experiences and other means because of the new realization. |
The second part of the ninth verse indicates you have come to this understanding because of the connection with your higher self and thus have these new facts in your head. And because of this you can now become the master of illusion on the third dimension because you realize you do indeed create it by your thought process. Reassurance once again fills the lower self with confidence confirming their dream is alive and they can guide it to their preferred conclusion.
The song ends with the chorus as the higher self once again reassures the lower self while on their life journey they will be there every step of the way while they fulfill their life’s purpose resulting in the ultimate peace of mind.
Silent Lucidity offers a unique perspective into the spiritual relationship between each unique person of this planet and their perfect higher self.
Lyrics to Silent Lucidity:
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'll 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...
Spoken:
Visualize your dream (Yes)
Record it in the present tense (Don't be scared)
Put it into a permanent form
If you persist in your efforts
You can achieve a dream control (Control)
(How're you doing today?) (Better?)
Dream come true
Dream come true
Dream come true
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 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 you see it through
I Will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you...
