We dream of ways to break these iron bars

Last night I dreamed that a colossal earthquake turned everything to sand. Even the walls and floor of our house became sand, and the earth shook all around us. The constant bending and warping of the walls tossed us around, and as we fell back and forth inside what remained of our apartment, it got smaller and smaller, and the sand closed in around us. When I thought we might be completely consumed, the shaking stopped. While everyone sat, relieved, I decided to venture out and assess the damage. A short walk took me to the edge of the dunes, where I looked over the hill to see a dark city intact below. In the background were neon lights, and it was being run like a giant amusement park, with a young man taking tickets at the front.

On that note, this song is epic,
