[Lyrics by John Petrucci] Show Don't Proven over time Takin' in the view from the outside I've been trying to justify you To those who understand, I extend my hand As I am Still ''Slow down, Takin' in the view from the outside To those who understand, I extend my hand "Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..." "And for what?" "Well, isn't it I. The Crimson Sunrise (Instrumental) II. Innocence I remember a time My fat I can remember when, In the unity of our five-day sessions Not 'Love, just don't stare' She used to say to me every Sunday A question well served, Is silence like a fever? A voice never A nightmare to remember I'd never be the same What began as Since the new world order Played upon our fears Spreading accusations Of radi She can't stop pacing She never felt so alive Her thoughts are I'm alive again The darkness far behind me I'm invincible Despair will never I touched with one who made me run away from my own Helpless child They invite your hands to fill their needs Will you Live another day Climb a little higher Find another reason to stay Ashes Headline: "Murder, young girl killed Desperate shooting at Echo's Hill Dreadfu Hear me, speaking Asking why I even bother Tell me, how you Live As I Am is the first song and the lead single on Dream Theater's seventh album Train of Thought. It begins with the same orchestral chord that the previous album, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence ended with as part of the Meta album cycle. Some of the lyrics are about a tour with Queensrÿche, which Mike Portnoy described as an "irksome series of shows", where at one point their guitarist Mike Stone tried to give Petrucci some tips in guitar playing and musical direction, inspiring the line, "Don't tell me what's in, tell me how to write". John Petrucci recorded this song using a 6-string guitar tuned 2 whole steps down (C-F-B♭-E♭-G-C). Personnel[]
Lyrics[]Don't Tell me what's in Tell me how to write Don't tell me how to win This fight Isn't your life It isn't your right To take the only thing that's mine Proven over time It is over your head Don't try to read between the Lines Are clearly defined "Never lose sight of Something you believe in" Taking in the view from the outside Feeling like the underdog Watching through the window I'm on the outside Living like the underdog I've been trying to justify you In the end I will just defy you To those who understand, I extend my hand To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am Not under your command, I know where I stand I won't change to fit your plan, Take me as I am As I am Still Running uphill Swimming against the current I wish I weren't so Fucked Feels like I'm stuck Lost in a sea of mediocrity Slow down, You're thinking too much Where is your soul? You cannot touch The way I Play Or tell me what to say You're in the way Of all that I believe in Taking in the view from the outside Feeling like the underdog Watching through the window I'm on the outside Living like the underdog I've been wasting my breath on you Open minds will descend upon you To those who understand, I extend my hand To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am Not under your command, I know where I stand I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am To those who understand, I extend my hand To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am Not under your command, I know where I stand I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am As I am Appearances[]
What is the hardest Dream Theater song?"The Dance of Eternity" is a demanding instrumental song filled with guitar, keyboard and bass unisons throughout the song and is pretty high energy and driving as well. The build going into the bass solo in the middle of the song has always been challenging for me to play.
Why does Dream Theater Pull Me Under end abruptly?When asked about the abrupt ending while at a drum clinic in Atlanta in 1999, Mike Portnoy explained "We had all this tension, and it just kept building and building, and we had no idea where to take it, you know?
