The objective of this project was to visually illustrate the meaning of a song's lyrics. Caitlin chose this song because it happens to be one of her favorites.

 

Lyrics to "The Escapist" (By Nightwish):

Who’s there knocking at my window?
The owl and the Dead Boy
This night whispers my name
All the dying children

Virgin snow beneath my feet
Painting the world in white
I tread the way
and lose myself into a tale

Come hell or high water
My search will go on
Clayborn Voyage without an end

A nightingale in a golden cage
That’s me locked inside reality’s maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone
Bring me back to life

A nightingale in a golden cage
That’s me locked inside reality’s maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
It all starts with a lullaby

Journey homeward bound
The sound of a dolphin calling
Tearing off the mask of man
The tower-my sole guide

This is who I am
Escapist
Paradise Seeker
Farewell, time to fly
Out of sight
Out of time
Away from all lies

A nightingale in a golden cage
That’s me locked inside reality’s maze

A nightingale in a golden cage
That’s me locked inside reality’s maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone
Bring me back to life

A nightingale in a golden cage
That’s me locked inside reality’s maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
It all starts with a lullaby

A nightingale in a golden cage
That’s me locked inside reality’s maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone
Bring me back to life

A nightingale...
In a Golden Cage...
