LD related Songs?

I remember someone posting about Hotel California reminding him of Lucid Dreaming. I think this song: Dear Lucid, Our Time is Right Now by Evans Blue is another of those songs. The title is a given, but the song, the chorus especially, really strikes me as an LDesque experience. While its obvious this song doesn't directly relate to it. Any others out there?

My word for dark rhymes
with your word for light and
it's not quite as pretty
as the pictures you painted
but those were just afterthoughts
And all new thieves are after us
I think they're after our heads

Dear lucid, my time is right to...

Dance away, while the bullets fly
You know they come so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
just to light your face

Now bombs light the sky like
Our fireworks just like
The ones that ignited
the first time our eyes met
But this time it's over wars
Your payback, you're wanting more
is gonna make this all over for us

Dear Lucid, your time is right to...

Dance away, while the bullets fly
You know they come so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
just to light your face

For me

Dear Lucid, our time is right now

Dance away, while the bullets fly
You know they come so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
just to light your face

Who will fix this impossibility
When it's crushing your throat?
Will you fight for your agenda
or will you fight for air?

Dance away, while the bullets fly
You know they come so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
So we could dance away
where the bullets fly
I know they look so close
I'll bet they put something in the air tonight
just to light your face

For me

Dear Lucid

"Sit in the Mountain" by Devin Townsend really reminds me of lucid dreaming, but it probably wont for anyone else. It's just because it's my own lucid experiences that remind of it, but one part of (again Devin Townsend) "Hide Nowhere" reminds me of lucid dreaming.

every dream i have wants me to stay
every night i try to find a way
pretty much think of the dream as lucid and everyone understands how devin feels with these lyrics.

p.s. i think there's another thread somewhere on here about lds and music

Queensryche-Silent Lucidity

So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?

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- am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity
[spoken during solo]
(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?)
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...

Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb". The song is actually about drugs, but the whole thing is very reminiscent of lucid dreaming, especially the last few lines.

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

thats the one i was thinking :P

anwyay another one would be "Catching the Butterfly" by verve

I only copied a part of the song. It's way to long for a full post but I'll put the rest under a spoiler


"Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
In that dream of mine
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine

In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams

Something now? ? ? ?
In my lucid dreams
Through life no fun
I want to feel
I want to run

Something numb
Through life no fun
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
I want to feel
In that dream of mine
I want to run
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine."

Spoiler for full song of Catching the Butterfly:

As though you were born
As though you were born
And so you thought
And so you thought
The futures ours
The futures ours
To keep and hold
To keep and hold
A child within
A child within
Has healing ways
Has healing ways
It sees me through
It sees me through
My darkest days
My darkest days
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
In that dream of mine
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams
Something now? ? ? ?
In my lucid dreams
Through life no fun
I want to feel
I want to run
Something numb
Through life no fun
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
I want to feel
In that dream of mine
I want to run
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
In my lucid dreams
In that dream of mine
In my lucid dreams
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
Keep catching that butterfly
In my lucid dreams
In that dream of mine
In my lucid dreams
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
In my private dreams
Keep catching that butterfly
In my private dreams
In that dream of mine
In my private dreams
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
My lucid dreams
In that dream of mine
My forgotten schemes
Im gonna keep catching that butterfly
I see through you
You see through me
I see through you
In my private dreams
You see through me
In my private dreams
Be with me
In my private dreams
Be with me
My lucid dreams
I see through you
My forgotten schemes
You see through me
I see through you
I see through you
You see through me
You see through me
I see through you
You see through me
To be in your eyes
Be with me
To be in your eyes
Be with me
I see through you
You see through me
I see through you
You see through me
To be in your eyes
To be in your eyes

Ghost Love Score by Nightwish reminds me of dreaming in a way, and features many things akin to a dream. Not exactly lucid though.

We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day

My fall will be for you
My love will be in you,
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever

Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
brings me to thee, into the blue memory

A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name, my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything i may ever be

The child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves, singing o nthe shoulders
Of an angel without care for love and loss

Maybe I can post it all later on, lacking time now :P

I can see what you mean. I always thought that Ghost love score was one of thier most beautiful songs.

I always liked in beauty of the beast "Safely away from the world
In a dream, timeless domain." that part kinda reminds me of lucid dreaming a bit.

'Imaginary' by Evanescence is definitley about dreaming and hints at lucidity strongly.

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clocks screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Don't say i'm out of touch
With this rampant choas, your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape

Swallow it up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The Godess of Imaginary Life

Check out some stuff by Armor For Sleep...

Don't know much about that but i'm in love with the song "Silent Lucidity" by Queensryche!!!

I think Sailing by N*sync (originally by Christopher Cross) could be interpreted about lucid dreaming or just dreaming in general. The whole song has a dream-like quality to it. Here are the lyrics: I put the parts that I think are about dreaming in bold, with my comments in italic. These are not the complete lyrics.

Well it's not far down to paradise
At least not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see The canvas= your mind
Baby believe me

It's not far to Never-Never Land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby believe me

Sailing takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and a wind to carry me Direct reference to dreaming
Soon I will be free

Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing

All the world in a reverie "Reverie" is another word for dream.
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?

Here is a link to the song if interested:

Almost anything by Carlos Santana, especially Europa and Samba Pa Ti, two instrumentals.

the Entire Album Scenes From a Memory by Dream Theater, notably the tracks "Strange Deja Vu" and "One Last Time"

Screamer by King's X is all about SP / HI / FA. :shock:
Anyone who suffers from this knows 100%... interested in hearing comments...

screamer - king's x

at night they come while you dream
in between the wake and sleep
then you feel paralyzed
and soon you end up screaming
no no no

sometimes the voices are so clear
the fear just grips your soul
you see but there's nothing there
you know you're not alone, not alone
oh no no

had a dream the other night, didn't go away
over and over again
make the dreams go away, will they ever end
over and over again

you wake, the feeling is relief
then it comes, vibrations so strange
and then oh no, you realize
you've woken up inside your dream
no no no

had a dream the other night, didn't go away
over and over again
make the dreams go away, will they ever end
over and over again

the song

"higher" by creed was about lucid dreaming
