Umm... don't ask where the inspiration came from... I randomly started singing this through my head in the shower and just gave it a theme so it would be a legitimate poem. Tons of symbolism and stuff that looks like symbolism, but isn't. I guess it's kinda mean, to interweave the two like that, but, whatever. I'll just go for "poetic license" and say it adds to the overall message. 'Cuz I can. cool
I see notes of fragrance
I see music drops
I see walking pathways
By rising streams
Sometimes I wonder
What all this means.
Is this the drug's dream,
Or is it my own?
Is this the drug's dream,
Or is it home?
I see tongues of flames quenched
For speaking clear gibberish
I see clouds of iron
Choke air's avalanche
I see Birnam's army
Advancing your keep
When you're smiling demigods,
I'm scowling the sheep.
Is this the drug's nightmare,
Or is it your own?
Is this the drug's nightmare,
Or is it your home?
I am glad I never met you
In my home of unreality
I never had to hurt you
When I realized your dystopia
I am glad you never met me
In your home of dead reality
I never had to hurt you
And make you see synesthesia
I see ropes of music
I hear fragrance drops
I see wandered pathways
I feel shattered dreams
I see fire whisper
I hear water die
I see twisted children
Born into the death of life
Is this the drug's dream
Or is it my own?
Is this utopia?
Can it be my home?
I'm glad that I left you
But the longer I stay
The acid of angels' blood
Poisons my rain!
We - are - too - proud.
We've - sewn up - our shroud.
We - have - lost - God
We've - our - Thanatos shod.
Is this the drug's dream,
Or is it my own?
Is this the drug's dream,
Or is it my home?
Is this the drug's dream,
Or is it my home?
Is this the drug's dream...
Or is it... home?

Carpe Diem Ad Muertum
Sieze the day, to the death. There is no potential that shall be passed by, there is no piece of glory to fall by the wayside, there is no soul to left unsaved by the brilliance of language. As writers, we are gods.

I'm sure whatever time I took to read through this can't be enough to do justice to its many symbols' meanings (or the many pseudo-symbols' lack of meanings), but if it counts for anything, I definitely could feel the music behind it biggrin .
