[fsh3702]

hello, everyone, long time no see.

i have a fresh lyrics problem about the song <another won>, what does this song talk about? it's one amazing song, but its lyrics and implication always baffles me. and hereunder i present all the lyircs of this song, thanks!



Another Won



It was the mortal passion
The flame that lit the fire
The beauty of the starlight
Brought the cruelty of desire

A lover's link was broken
Another's vengeful plan
Was contrived through jealous hatred
For a cross of God and man

I hope it will turn out so
But I can't help being afraid
Perception is hindered by lust
To be sure of the choice you have made

Grant me this request, please
Just promise me your word
Attest to the mighty river
Let the truth be heard!

She asked to see the power
His realm of life and love
His godly immortality
The thunder roared above

Her words were so quickly spoken
Lest he stop her from the deed
I gave you my word, now my love
Your grim request I shall heed!

Leaving his maiden
He rose to the sky
Returning in splendors
To earth he did fly
Subject to presence
Too brilliant to face
Another had killed passions grace

I'm sure no one knows. That's classic Petrucci though, beautiful sounding phrases but  .

It's a Majesty song.  It has no meaning.

I miss that.

[LCArenas]

I.... Don't know. I think it has no meaning.


Actually I have the same question with Only a Matter of Time. What does it mean???

Kevin Moore explains that pretty well on the When Dream and Day Re-Unite bootleg. Buy it now!

only a matter of time should be pretty obvious, it's about being reign free and having faith to accomplish your dreams

I love analyzing lyrics.  "Another Won" is a toughie.  Seems like there's a girl and guy romance involved and there's passion, jealousy and vengefulness as you can see from the words.  I think there's some kind of game-playing going on between the guy and girl and the narrator is hoping to win the game - hence "another won."

You cannot win the Game.  You can only lose the Game.

You all just lost the Game.

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why he's a mod.

FLAWLESS VICTORY!

really analytical explanation, about personal experience, but the singer just don't want to omit the contents blandly

Personally to me, the song seems to tell the story of Zeus who became human and slept with the mortal girl whose husband was trying to siege Olympus (the story told in the movie Clash of the Titans).

[Global Laziness]

So...Clash of the Titans is based on Another Won? I better go see that movie then!

No, it is a story in Greek myth.

Perhaps my comment should have been in sarcasm green.
