Aerosmith Song Meaning

[InsaneTim]

Does anyone know the meaning of "Toys in the Attic" by Aerosmith? Just curious.

[Mike]

It' an old adage of fear of the unseen combined the old stuff that typically gets stored in the attic. Toys, clothes, thing used by people in the past, but no use for them today. Voices scream, is a reaction to something in the dark, hence nothing's seen and real's a dream is the confusion between a nightmare and darkeness in the imagination.

Leaving the things that are real behind

Leaving the things that you love from mind

All of the things you learned from fears

Nothing is left for the years

The fears of childhood, what you didn't know, you were afraid of, and now you finds years later that nothing is the same, you have no fear for the same things.
