    Dream of Mirrors

    Another Aspergers observation. I like this because I didn't even realise that I used to view everything in a very black and white way. I wasn't until I started reading about autism that I was like, "Oh that's what I've been doing, that's why people think I'm straight laced. That's why other...

    The Man Of Sorrows

    That's where I got it. I like that hurtloam seems to the untrained eye (or non Covenant reader) like something filled with pain, but it really denotes healing.

    Starblind

    This is another of my favourites. I'm sure I heard Bruce Dickinson interviewed on the Radio and he said that it was a song about emotions imagined like spirits or colours that move through us and posses us in moments. I like that, mostly because I am an emotional person who is also very affected...

    Lord of Light

    This song makes me really emotional. I have no idea why. Is it the guitar, the juxtaposition of the light gentleness of the intro with the rushing, angry speed of the verses. It lulls you into a false sense of security and then goes wild. I know what it is. It's like having an argument with...

    Face in the Sand

    Is no one else taken aback by the "Is it worth the risk, a war of God and man?" line. That's what stood out for me. What is this? A song about the apocolypse? Watching and waiting for signs of the end times. Was someone reading the book of Revelation when they wrote this: "These are demonic...

    No More Lies

    This is the song that got me into Iron Maiden. I love this song, but I think mostly from an Aspergers perspective. I don't like lies and I find people very confusing. I hate second guessing what peole say. I am always quite a straight forward person. So the chorus just captured my attention. I...

    Gates of Tomorrow

    I love love love this song. I always thought it was a song about struggling with your faith. You ultimately believe it and you can see the "gates of tomorrow" a metephor for what your religion promises you. It's someone who wants to walk the narrow road, but they're having a hard time sticking...

    The Man Of Sorrows

    This did take a couple of listens to grow on me. It wasn't till I sat and listened to the lyrics that it hit me what a sad song it is. A lonely person sitting on their own while everyone around them is too busy to notice. So alone that they don't think that there will ever be a way out. They...
