[Prodigy:]
Now I've told you everything
Now there's nothing more to hide
I've got nowhere else to go
Can I stay with you tonight?
[Girl:]
After all that you've been through
How could I turn you away
We were always meant to be
I don't care what people say
[Rival:]
Don't you believe it
Don't be a fool
Manipulate you
Is all he wants to do
He will deceive you
You're being used
Don't let him play you
All he wants to do
He wants to be with you
[Prodigy:]
The meds create a perfect world
Patterns, purpose, clarity
How will I ever live without?
What should I do? what's happening to me?
[Girl:]
Don't you worry, it's all right
I will keep you safe from harm
Together we can beat this thing
Before the damage goes too far
The lyrics MAGNETISM of AYREON is also present in the album The theory of everything (2013)
Ayreon è un progetto musicale progressive rock fondato nel 1995 dall'olandese Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Lucassen, compositore e polistrumentista di talento, ha concepito Ayreon come un concept album narrativo in cui diverse voci cantano i ruoli di personaggi immaginari all'interno di una storia fantascientifica complessa. Il primo album, "The Final Experiment", uscì nel 1998 e segnò l'inizio di un percorso musicale unico che ha visto la partecipazione di numerosi artisti ospiti provenienti da tutto il mondo. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Ayreon si ricordano "The Day the World Stops Turning" e "Starseed", entrambi tratti dall'album "Universal Migrator Part 1: The Journey". Altri album importanti includono "01011001", "The Theory of Everything" e "Transitus", che hanno consolidato la posizione di Ayreon come progetto musicale innovativo e apprezzato dalla critica. Lucassen, con la sua abilità nel creare mondi musicali complessi e coinvolgenti, ha contribuito a definire il genere progressive rock contemporaneo.
