Dream Theater

Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts. They subsequently dropped out of their studies to further concentrate on the band that would ultimately become Dream Theater. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remained together along with James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess until September 8, 2010 when Portnoy left the band. In October 2010, the band held auditions for a drummer to replace Portnoy. Mike Mangini was announced as the new permanent drummer on April 29, 2011. more »

I never wanted to become someone like him so secure 
Content to live each day just like the last 
I was sure I knew that
This was not for me 
And I wanted so much more 
Far beyond what I could see 
So I swore that I'd
Never be someone like him 

So many years have passed
Since I proclaimed 
My independence
My mission
My aim
And my vision 
So secure 
Content to live each day like it's my last 
It's wonderful to know 
That I could be 
Something more than what I dreamed 
Far beyond what I could see 
Still I swear that I'm
Missing out this time 

As far as I could tell 
There's nothing more I need 
But still I ask myself 
Could this be everything
Then all I swore 
That I would never be was now
So suddenly 
The only thing
I wanted 
To become 
To be someone just like him

II: MEDICATE (Awakening) (8:45-12:15) 

A doctor sitting next to me 
He asks me how I feel 
Not sure I understand his questioning
He says I've been away a while 
But thinks he has cured me 
From a state of catatonic sleep 

For 30 years
Where have I been? 
Eyes open 
But not getting through to me 

Medicate me 
Infiltrate me 
Side effects appear 
As my conscience slips away 

Medicate me 
Science failing 
Conscience fading fast 
Can't you stop what's happening

A higher dosage he prescribes 
But there's no guarantee 
I feel it starting to take over me 
I tell them not to be ashamed 
There's no one who's to blame 
A second shot
A brief awakening 

I feel the relapse
Can't break free 
Eyes open 
But not getting through to me 

Medicate me 
Infiltrate me 
Side effects appear 
As my conscience slips away 

Medicate me 
Science failing 
Conscience fading fast 
Can't you stop what's happening? 

III: FULL CIRCLE (12:16-15:59) 

sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem's ready
jack the ripper owens wilson phillips and my supper's ready
lucy in the sky with diamond dave's not here I come to save the
day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home again

Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round 
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound 

Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around 
Losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle 

flying off the handle with carefull with
that axe eugene gene the dance machine
messiah light my fire gabba gabba
hey hey my my generation's home again

Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round 
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound 

Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around 
Losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle 

IV: INTERVALS (16:00-19:58) 

  Instrumental  (16:00-18:27) 

Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath 
Remove all obstacles from our path 

Asking questions
Search for clues 
The answer's been right in front of you 

Try to break through
Long to connect 
Fall on deaf ears and failed muted breath 

Loyalty, trust, faith and desire 
Carries love through each darkest fire 

Tortured Insanity
A smothering hell 
Try to escape but to no avail 

The calls of admirers
Who claim they adore 
Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more 

Innocent victims of merciless crimes 
Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs 

Step after step
We try controlling our fate 
When we finally start living it has become to late 

Trapped inside this Octavarium 
Trapped inside this Octavarium 
Trapped inside this Octavarium 
Trapped inside this Octavarium 

V: RAZOR'S EDGE (19:59-24:00) 
We move in circles 
Balanced all the while 
On a gleaming razor's edge 

A perfect sphere
Colliding with our fate 
This story ends where it began 

  Instrumental (21:27-24:00)
