This song describes living with blindness, and how the other senses of the body are heightened when one is lost. Blindness shows how we are human, with flaws, yet can adapt to survive through the struggles. However, people who are born blind cannot dream visually.
[Verse 1]
Born into darkness
Where sounds portray
The images that are out
Out of reach from my sight
[Refrain]
Which has been denied
Hands change into my eyes
Body senses intensified
Sight so close yet far away
[Pre-Chorus]
In dreams my thoughts take their form
To give memories identity
[Chorus]
Through dreams I obtain
The ability to connect sight with sound
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Close your eyes
And imagine to be without
What we take for granted
Every time we open our eyes
[Verse 2]
A permanent shadow
Never to step away
Feel the dark in the cold
Feel the warmth of the light
[Refrain]
Which has been denied
Hands change into my eyes
Body senses intensified
Sight so close yet far away
[Pre-Chorus]
In dreams my thoughts take their form
To give memories identity
[Chorus]
Through dreams I obtain
The ability to connect sight with sound
[Outro]
Whoa
