The Sleeper:
Shine- Lake of fire
Lines take me higher
My mind drips desire
Confined and overtired
Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
I can't shake this charade
The city's cold blood calls me home
Home, It's what I long for
Back home, Where I belong
The city- It calls to me
Decadent scenes from my memory
Sorrow- Eternity
My demons are coming to drown me
Help- I'm falling, I'm crawling
I can't keep away from its clutch
Can't have it, this habit
It's calling me back to my home
The Miracle:
I remember the first time she came to me
Poured her soul out all night and cried
I remember I was told there's a new love that's born
For each one that has died
I never thought that I
Could carry on with this life
But I can't resist myself
No matter how hard I try
Living their other life
Is getting them nowhere
I'll make her my wife
Her sweet temptation calls me home
Home, It's what I long for
My home, Where she belongs
Her ecstasy- means so much to me
Even decieving my own blood
Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taking me to my home
Help- he's my brother, but I love her
I can't keep away from her touch
Deception, dishonor
It's calling me back to my home
Nicholas:
Her story- it holds the key
Unlocking dreams from my memory
Solving this mystery
Is everything that is a part of me
Help- Regression, obsession
I can't keep away from her clutch
Leave no doubt, to find out
It's calling me back to my home

for all of you so confused about this... it is a story album. u will have to listen to THE ENTIRE album to realize it.
it is somewhat hard to realize the meaning of this tho. if u need help then u can go to this link. or the more fun way, is to just figure out the meaning of the ALBUM on ur own. =)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scenes_From_A_Memory

RE: tell me about dis whole thing! | Reviewer: DTfan4life | 7/8/09

and Victoria also played a role on the CD Awake
but that's about all i know

After reading some of the comments left for the song 'Home," I just wanted to clarify that this track is part of a CONCEPT ALBUM. -.-' I'm sure if you listen to / read the rest of this Masterpiece entitled Metropolis pt 2: Scenes From A Memory, those of you who appear lost will understand a lot more of the lyrics. Happy Theater Dreaming ^.^

Well of course the singer fell in love with his brother's girlfriend. What's so weird do you find in this text?! I can't see any contradiction.
"living their other life" seems to be about his brother and his girlfriend; she doesn't love him, she loves the singer, so that "is getting them nowhere" - just as i understand
Wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/12/08
After asking a friend of mine (the one who converted me to DTism) tonnes of question about this album, I understand pretty much everything except what's meant by them "living their other life is getting them nowhere" and how is Victoria calling him back to his home? Is that making the family link or am I missing something? Both this song and Dance of Eternity rock socks! And Fatal Tragedy of course, can't go unmentioned - the whole feckin' album's amazing!

"this song.... is so weird!
''Help- he's my brother, but I love her
I can't keep away from her touch''
pretty fucking contradicting! "
I think you misunderstand. This is the Sleeper's brother speaking - 'Help, he's (Sleeper) my brother, but I love her (Victoria)'
Meaning: | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/31/08
the sleeper: Victoria's ex-boyfriend; he has a problem with drug addiction, as evidenced by the lines take me higher line, victoria pulled away from him
the miracle: sleeper's brother. He came to victoria after the breakup, and fell in love with her in spite of his brother`s feelings
Nicholas: well, this is the present time; btw Victoria = nicholas in his other life in case you didnt know
This is simply one of the best DT songs ever! What can I say?
It has a tension building up in the beginning, a burning bassline and oriental sounds...combined with not-of-this earth melody and breaks.
The weird lyrics come from the main theme of the concept album.
The lines in question are about a man who, in spite of himself, is falling love with his brother's girlfriend. The "he" is his brother and the "her" is the brother's girlfriend.
Great song, BTW. This is the one that really pulls the albulm together.
