Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Average	#1 by Rob F at Dec 13, 1976 at 11:56 PM EST
	I'd say that Hypnagonia is a spelling mistake in the booklet and that the correct word is Hypnagogia. This completely fits in with the theme of the song. For those who dont know what Hypnagogia means http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogia

No Picture Austin Rhythm Player	#2 by Austin at Mar 6, 1978 at 7:38 AM EST
	this song is about how even when life gets really shity you can always dream of a better future.

No Picture kevin Average	#3 by kevin Kicks at May 9, 1979 at 9:42 AM EST
	Anyone know what they are whispering in the solo? Between the "Frozen music of Gods/Hypnagonia's lucrid horizons" parts. I just can't make it out. About the song, it strikes me as a kind of lullaby, IF style, but I don't know the meaning.

No Picture Connor Average	#4 by Connor Mactee at Nov 3, 1980 at 6:31 AM EST
	Hypnagonia´s lucid horizons play with the yearning I´ve quelled as I strike towards the Pantheon and what therein is held" the pantheon is the temple where statues of the gods were set up to be worshipped. (s)he is coming with Lord Hypnos to the home of the gods, (s)he will sleep eternally. I don't think this song is about a relationship. judging by the fact that it is an IF song, it's possibly much more straightforward than you might think. Someone might be dreaming, Hypnos meaning sleep. The singer is describing the pleasure of simply dreaming in a metaphorical manner, Lord Hypnos simply representing dreaming. The singer wishes to dream forever.

No Picture Shay Average	#5 by Shay at Dec 22, 1990 at 9:31 PM EST
	isn't this a cover of a metallica song? didn't metallica do a song with a very similar name?

No Picture D.J Wanna Be	#6 by D.J Mortensen at Nov 11, 1994 at 4:16 PM EST
	just thinking of the tjr/whoracle theme and the name oft his song i would assume its about how he wants to sleep, and never wake up, because the real world sucks, so he is praising the lord hypnos

No Picture ThunderWolf Average	#7 by ThunderWolf at Oct 26, 2003 at 5:31 AM EST
	i think the song is about a girl that dances ( "I lie in your soothing arms" ) with a man. the song is written from the perspective of this girl. she finds this man amazing and calls him "Lord Hypnos" because the man takes her with the dance in his own world: "Steep the spiral to your far abode in the wake of slumber, on visions I rode and fell like history through the chasm of ages into the charged, forbidden zones" "How I have searched through a million worlds and faces yet unaware, I have not found my own true face, traceless and profound" there the girl says that she searched this person shes dancing with "through a million worlds and faces". perhaps she is in love with the man, but she knows she never can get him. "So, find me in these grandiose halls where long ago summers eternally fall and tune the strings of truthful longing to the frozen music of gods" while shes dancing with him she feels saved "in these grandios halls" the next lines could say that the dancers had a great relationship long time ago, and the girl still wants to be in this relaionship, but knowing that its over. "Hypnagonia´s lucid horizons play with the yearning I´ve quelled as I strike towards the Pantheon and what therein is held" the last phrases are difficult. the pantheon is a building in which great men find their last peace. i think the relationship went wrong because the man found new friends.

No Picture silent Rhythm Player	#8 by silent support at Dec 21, 2003 at 3:16 PM EST
	I think this song is about sleep from a freudian perspective, with dreams are veiwed as a window into the subconscious. I think it is about wandering inside of your own mind, in a dream.
