Nocturnal poetry,
Dressed in the whitest silver, you'd smile at me
Every night I wait for my sweet Selene
But, still...
Solitude's upon my skin
A life that's bound by the chains of reality
Would you let me be your Endymion?
I would bathe in your moonlight, and slumber in peace
Enchanted by your kiss in forever sleep
But until we unite
I live for that night
Wait for time
Two souls entwine
In the break of new dawn
My hope is forlorn
Shadows, they will fade
But I'm always in the shade
Without you...
Serene and silent sky
Rays of moon are dancing with the tide
A perfect sight, a world divine
And I...
The loneliest child alive
Always waiting, searching for my rhyme
I'm still alone in the dead of night
Silent I lie with smile on my face,
Appearance decieves and the silence betrays
As I wait for the time
My dream comes alive
Always out of sight
But never out of mind
And under waning moon
Still I long for you
Alone against the light
Solitude am I
In the end, I'm enslaved by my dream
In the end, there's no soul who'd bleed for me
Hidden from daylight, I'm sealed in my cave
Trapped in a dream that is slowly turning to a nightmare
Where I'm all alone
Venial is life when you're but a dream
The book is still open, the pages as empty as me...
I cling to a hope that's beginning to fade,
Trying to break the desolation I hate
But until we unite
I live for that night
Wait for time
Two souls entwine
In the break of new dawn
My hope is forlorn
We will never meet
Only misery and me
This is my final call
My evenfall
Drowning into time
I become the night
By the light of new day
I'll fade away
Reality cuts deep
Would you bleed with me
My Selene

Review about My Selene Hidden Meanings | Reviewer: Mary | 6/24/09
The reason S.A.'s my favorite band is because every last one of their songs has hidden meaning. Like Shamandalie=sham-and-a-lie, and then My Selene's allusion to greek mythology is just genius.
For those of you that don't know Endymion and Selene's story, Endymion was Zeus's son in greek mythology, mothered by a nymph. Selene (Titan goddess of the moon) loved Endymion, who was so beautiful that she asked Zeus to give to him eternal youth so he would never leave her. However, Selene loved how Endymion looked when he slept so much that she instead asked Zeus to leave him forever in sleep, and would visit his bedside each night.
Hence:
Solitude's upon my skin
A life that's bound by the chains of reality
Would you let me be your Endymion?
I would bathe in your moonlight, and slumber in peace
Enchanted by your kiss in forever sleep"
Simply amazing.
Wow... | Reviewer: Mysterio | 6/21/09
I had this song playing in my head all day and I just wanted to listen to it... heard it before, downloaded because its Sonata Arctica.. why not? right? first time i sit down to read the lyrics and.. bam.
reminds me of what happened between the girl who i still love and me.. long story short she doesnt like me :( at least not the same way.. it hurts a lot more when they say they still want to be friends. i completely identified with this song from the first word to the last, and now i wish i hadnt.
I really love this song! The music is cool and the lyrics too! I think it was interesting that they based the lyrics in the mytological story about the love between the godess of the moon, Selene, and a guy, Endymion. Sonata Arctica rules! And so this song!!!
Shocked... | Reviewer: JayWhiten | 2/13/09
To be honest, I'm not exactly the biggest metalhead in the world - I'm a lot more suited to stuff like Sum 41, MxPx and Billy Talent to tell the truth...
But I sat in my mates house a year or so back, and this song came on... and since then I fell in love with Sonata Arctica... In England, they are hardly well-known, but I now got a few people into them and we went to see them in London in April...
Without hesitation - if my favourite band was asked of me - It would be Sonata Arctica. And this my favourite song... Love it!
The first time I heard this song, I took no notice of the lyrics, but the melody...something about the key change at the end haunted me...I was humming the melody for a week.
When I got the lyrics I listened to it again...I almost cried...such beauty and soul this song contains.
This should never be used as a cover by anyother band...only Sonata Artica play it how it's ment to be played.
i really identify with the lyrics, it speaks to me because I'm in love with a friend of mine, and it seems to be really hard to speak up and tell her. it is really complicated. it seems that I cannot find my voice, and the song seems to be my voice. . . also I'm a metalhead and this a fucking amazing song by sonata arctica, one of my favorite top five
Even if Reckoning Night is not the best Sonata Arctica's album in my opinion, this song is... perfect.
The lyrics are so deep and the melody, as in most of Sonata's songs, matches perfectly. All this added to Tony's vocals make this song a masterpiece.
Also, it ranks up there in my top 5 of Sonata Arctica's songs with Victoria's Secret, The Cage, Letter to Dana and The end of this chapter
Wow... | Reviewer: Deadly_Sinner | 8/20/08
This song is just beautiful!... The part where Tony say: "A life that's bound by the chains of reality"
That just.. Touch me really deep... Because i'm always trying to escape from my reality...
I like sonata artica pretty much.. And this song is one of my favs, oh and I didn't know that this song was written by Jani thou. That's so cool...
Greetings from Mexico.
