dreams of reality...

"Im Tal der Nebel" is a quite important part of the plot. what happens in this song is merely a dream, leading to further confusion. although the main content are just thoughts, emotions, and fears, there is a big question at the end of it all...was this all real?

the whole song is actually about the discovering of a vale, some kind of paradise, which - surrounded by mountain ridges - can be entered only at one place: a gate at a pass high above the vale. crossing the borders to the fantastic ground everything seems to turn better, ways out of the misery spring to mind and a feeling of deep harmony arises. in fact this whole part is missing in the text itsself, but this image of the vale is an essential part in order to understand what the rest is all about.

what happens then is part of the vanishing of borders between reality and dream, the biggest part of the whole story. not knowing if the mystic vale was just a dream, a frantic search is initiated for the charakter has yet to find his lost love and a whole place which is not known to even exist for sure. confusion is complete as the search hast to continue both in reality and dreams. in this most emotional part of the plot the german language does it's part pretty well, its actually intensifying all the feelings and simultanuously adding a rough edge to everything because of the harder pronounciation you might already know from listening to german lyrics in general.

by now its not clear whether the vale itsself is a real place or not, and so it will stay throughout the rest of the story. at the end of "Im tal der Nebel" the vale is finally found again - either in another dream or in real life - but no matter what, the gates are locked and there's no way to get to that wondrous place again. this is the point when everything fades into melancholy, depression and frustration. still all those suicidal emotions can't devour the urge to find a solution to the scenario yet...
