I stood mesmerised at Seattle's Moore Theatre, the full
breath of Queensryche spiralling info focus before me as
they performed their "Empire". In 1990 the song represented
everything spectacular about one of hard rock's premier
bands in a landscape of costumed imagery. The Seattle
quintet refused to sacrifice their integrity for fashion.
Thus commanding sold-out arenas by their own rules.
"Empire" was a political statement from a band who weren't
afraid to stretch their musical muscles beyond the
traditional realms of sex, drugs and other assorted hard
rock pleasantries. Geoff Tate unleashing a lyrical rhetoric
deserving of the band's explosive highs and sentimental
lows. Even so. Given the theatrical bombast of their tours

Review about Queensryche coincidence or divine intervention | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Silent Lucidity performed by Queensryche
on July 2, 2009, my husband took his own life. He was the kindest soul I have ever known. For me, time stopped on that day and I've been searching for some kind of answer to make sense of it all. A close friend of my husband shared with me what can only be described as a visit from Kevin to let him know he was okay and at peace. The song 99 Luft Balloons by Nina also was quite pervasive surrounding this encounter. So, tonight I took our daughter to Five Guys for dinner and our order number was 99, so I txtd my husband's friend and told him, coincidentally, our number was 99, but then this song started to play and I was trying to listen but our 6 year old was telling me about her busy six-year-old day and I didn't hear the song. When I got home I googled the words I could remember and found silent lucidity. The lyrics of this song are so powerful to me that I'm convinced Kevin is trying to let me know that he is okay
and he is watching over Juliet and me. For now, I'm calling this divine intervention at a time I So desperately need it. Thanks for listening. Warmly, as always, it's you and me gainst the world

------ About the song Silent Lucidity performed by Queensryche
This song came out when my young son of 4 was having night terrors. When I saw the video of the song and heard the words it reminded me of what my son must have gone through with the night terrors. They lasted around 5 years, until he finally outgrew them. Everytime I hear that song it reminds me of that period in our live. He is now in the USMC and on his 2nd deployment of Iraq.

------ About the song Silent Lucidity performed by Queensryche
the story of my finding this song is quite amazing...
one night someone very special to me played this song for me on his guitar.. it is one of my most cherished memories, because he and i were in love but never moved forward in our relationship because he once told me that he didn't want me to "end up hating him" and "he wanted our relationship to last forever" so we stayed in what i guess you could say was a monogamous relationship.. anyhoo. he played this song for me in his room one night, it was in fact the last night i saw him. unfortunately this wonderful soul passed a few weeks after in a tragic car accident. he left me behind and in all of my sorrow i had forgotten the way this song went, now that i think of it i guess it was for good reason. he also played it without singing the lyrics and it was the first time i had heard it. i knew i wanted to find this song to commemorate him, if only i had heard it again i would remember it, that ended up taking two years of searching. i would have random dreams of him and till this day i wake up with my arms folded over my chest as though i am hugging something. i noticed this because it all started the night of his funeral, and everytime i have a dreams of him i wake up in this position, which is weird but very comforting. one particular day i had finally woken up with a clue.. i woke up with the beginning riff in my head.. i was so happy i called my brother right away to ask him if he knew who had sang this tune, humming it over the phone over and over. finally he told me it was a band called queensryche and the song Silent Lucidity... i looked it up on youtube and some how unintentionally came across a video that had the actual lyrics at the bottom.................... if you've ever heard this song you would understand why i cryed for months after that, especially when the girl says "hold me" in the middle of the song. it was i know it sounds, insane and believe me i literally thought i was going insane. but now it only proves to me that love conquers all and i was lucky enough in this lifetime to find my one true soulmate. every time i hear that song i feel he is with me. after two years of searching for it and no luck.. radio stations seem to play in the morning as my alarm clock turns on to wake me up, not everyday of course but it has happend a few times. i will never forget him, and i know now that i will never be alone again. i am looking forward to meeting him again and walking through the park with him through all eternity..

------ About the song Silent Lucidity performed by Queensryche
When this song came out I was going through a depressing time, it passed. I cried listening to it.
In June of 08 I had a Cardiac Arrest and had a near death experience. I found this song again and now it's very comforting to me as when you die your mind takes you through it in a very pleasant way, making peace all the way......
I ofcourse don't want to die but when it happens there's a peacefulness and well being that can not be told, as there is no other feeling like it.

I once read the notes contained within the cover of the album...cd case...and was amazed to learn that this song was written to sooth a young child who had had a bad dream about being all alone and lost. Just thought you might like to know this.
Lucid dreaming or? | Reviewer: Cara
------ About the song Silent Lucidity performed by Queensryche
This song is technically meant as a basic summary of lucid dreaming to some people, however.. if you listen to what QR has said about it, it is to recover from a loss of life in general. That comes from them, so don't knock it if you haven't really read up on it. If it helps people deal with any aspect of their lives, let it be. As you'll find in the meanings of most of your favorite songs, they mean something entirely different than even the title specifies.
This song in particular helped me when my fiance committed suicide, after a long battle with drug addiction. It's helped other people deal with the loss of children, loss of a parent, etc. Let people feel and interpret what they need to. Ask the QR web director if you don't believe me on the real meaning though.

Once again, Mr. Tate proves that you don't have to hit 5 octives to get the point across with melody and control (I am a vocalist). This song gives me chills like most of their work. A++

The Hands:
Another gem of a song by Queensryche showing off Geoff Tate's awesome vocals. A nice mellow flowing song by the multi-talented band. Not a heavy metal song by the band but yet an awesome song.
Let everyone have their own meaning | Reviewer: Marianne
------ About the song Silent Lucidity performed by Queensryche
Whether or not the song is about 'lucid dreaming' - let everyone have it mean to them what it can, and alleviate the pain if it does so. I'm sure the artists intended for each and every one to make out THEIR own meaning and interpretation - and 'soothing of their soul' if that become what the song means to them... Great song, let it be 'great' to all people in THEIR own way...

------ About the song Silent Lucidity performed by Queensryche
This song helped me alot when my boyfriend died in an auto accident on July 30th 2005. It was the day after his 18th birthday...i absolutely love this song and i reccommend this song to anybody who has lost someone that they love dearly...<33
we found this song that somehow helped sooth the loss for my youngest son who had a very hard time dealing with his father's death when he was seven years old. it was when he was about twelve, his teenage babysitter played it for him and it helped ease some of the emotional pain he was keeping bottled up inside him. on feb. 21, 2003, my youngest son, justin belcher, died at the age of 19. instead of a furneral service, we had a large cook-out at a beach park across the bay where he and his friends used to go and ride the wave runners and set up their dj equipment and party and play all day. we had a celebration of his life ceremony by the water. on the front of his program that we made, we had the lyrics from your song: i will be watching over you - i am gonna help you see it through - i will protect you in the night - i am smiling next to you....in silent lucidity. his younger sister, amanda belcher, who was 16 (which made her 3 years younger at the time) had a very hard time dealing with the loss of her brother she was so close to. three years later, amanda, died at the age of 19 in an auto accident. we did the same for her, with the same lyrics on her program with a celebration of her life cook-out at the same beach. needless to say, at age 49, this song means more to me, my family and all their closest friends than you will ever know. through all of our losses of our loved ones and the terribles heartaches we still and always will endure, i want you to know that this song will always be very special to us. thank you.
Although Queensryche hit mainstream status with Silent Lucidity, it was this song with its strong lyrics and moving riffs that took the band to a different level for fans. The song helps the listener realize the downside of love lost and future love. The band comes from Seattle just before the "grunge" scene hit, and it is evident in the lyrics from Tate that he saw more to life than "party rock". This song is a real ballad.
