LYRICS
I would not expect your felt unnoticed and ignored
Better to rise above the clouds
Than be a stranger in the crowd
All that you protected doesn't matter anymore
Rather be stripped of all your pride
Than watch your dreams be cast aside
You are caught up in your gravity
Glorifying stardom
Singing your own praise
You live without shame
You're digging up a gold mine
Standing on the sidelines
Watching through the looking glass
You are not content with being nameless and unknown
Trying to rise above the fray
Eager to give it all away
Some will not admit their fifteen minutes have expired
Too much attention much too soon
Don't see you walking on the moon
You are caught up in your gravity
Bathing in the spotlight
Imitating fame
You live without shame
You're digging up a gold mine
Standing on the sidelines
Watching through the looking glass
You are caught up in your gravity
Glorifying madness
Singing your own praise
You live without shame
You're digging up a gold mine
Standing on the sidelines
Watching through the looking glass
You live without shame
You're digging up a gold mine
Standing on the sidelines
Watching through the looking glass

I think this album is DT's most direct homage to Rush. Listening to John P. speak with Geddy on That Metal Show, you could tell how big of a Rush fan he is and this album unleashes that appreciation.

I am John Petrucci, of Dream Theater, I also made several of the Rush Albums. I have something like 600 planes jets and heliocopters stashed around the world. I need to collect them, before I break Victoria, from Scenes from a memory 2, out of her glass prison. Would you like to get a free plane or jet or heliocopter? I will teach you to fly. All I need is pilots to help me collect the planes, heliocopters and Jets from around the world. I am giving most of them away for free. But I will need atleast 1 Jet, to make sure, Victoria, can get her revenge on David Jonathan Taylor, after I break her out of her glass prison. Joey Jordinson was the witness, that witnessed me attach her spirit to glass. He commited suicide last year, because I still hadn't gotten a body to replace Victoria's body, when David blew my sled out of the sky, with a jet and a missle, that caused her to disperse her body, to form a protective shield, to protect Joey and myself. David has tried to kill me at least 100 times since then. Succeeding several times, before I was revived in the hospital later.

So dissapointing to see how hateful people in the rock and metal community are. Whatever happened to the brotherhood that started this type of music, i love DT and i think they're one of the most underrated bands of all time. If we ever want this Justin Bieber/Katy Parrie BS to go away we need to stop this hateful attitude towards bands that dont sound like the sub genre of rock that you think every band should sound like. I for one love the diversity in all genres of rock and metal cause it keeps things interesting, i would think others would feel the same.

If you are talking about The Enemy Inside, it was my understanding the band wanted to make that video about the Save a Warrior program instead of give focus to the band. Petrucci felt really strong about the subject. Most of the videos they have mad focus on the band. Going back to Another day, Lie, Pull me under and even recent ones like Rite of Passage and On the Backs of Angels they all focus on the band. I don't mind the videos but most of the time I don't watch them, I play the music on the background. I enjoy the cinematic stuff on their live show but I could do without them since they being doing that recently.

Best band of all time. Most talanted band of all time. Every single person in the band is amazing, yes including labrie. IMO he is one of the best singers in music history, with his diversity and wide range. And if you are a singer I'm sure you'd know that alot of DT's catalog have songs in which the vocals are extremely hard to sing (Innocence Faded, Learning To Live, & Another Day for example). And for his performance today, let's face it... he's nearly 50 years old (correct me if I'm wrong) and has a family to take care of, and honestly I still think he is a great singer (live as well). The problem about DT fans is that they complain.and say that want something new, but when they come out with great music like this, they criticize and whine about it. I'm tired of all the criticism and just want to listen to the music in peace. If there is anything bad about DT, it's their fans. Please, do us a favor and stop complaining.

Some of the beautiful drumming I've ever heard. It's as if the parts he architects for the songs have their own cymatic shape, or crystalline structure. Most drummers don't play as clean, honoring the time, so we're not used to experiencing such a thing. Numbers don't lie, and he is a math wizard.

Through the ups & downs of band mates, and the ups & downs of corporate conformity and returning individuality...I am still just as amazed as I ever was at the talent and uniqueness of this band. Even their "not as good" stuff is still pretty frikkin good. The idea of a world void of DT actually makes me sad. Long live the Kings. Not just Prog kings.....but music Kings.

How can people blindly insult this band? Maybe its because they don't understand some things about music. This band is so creative because of all the time changes they deal with. Not a lot of people write in 5/4 phrases, or 7/4, or 7/8, but they constantly switch to these weird time signatures on their songs and makes very good original patterns with in the meter. I'm just surprised they can make it all sound as if the time isnt changing sometimes. I'll sit listening to them trying to figure out what they switched to there, or what that fill pattern was there, etc. Not to mention amazing sound quality. There aint no autotune here.

This song represents the long-awaited comeback of a "Dream/Fantasy" tune (atmosphere) ['85-'94] into the present "Day" of the Dream Theater's work ['05-'11]. Also, (if you picked it) a fusion of multiple elements(a unique song signature)/DT styles/guitar effects + others band songs from way back '85 TO THE PRESENT. A Great combined song!!!

true on the individual talent as far as rush goes,but rush always will have the edge as far as writing with better melodies and lyrical content. dts lyrics are usually verbatim where rush lyrics have atleast two different levels. plus rush can layer there instruments better which gives them a more classical sound. cant compare the bands really. 5 members versus 3. geddy does the work of 3 himself on stage. and alexs riffs are some of the best ever....

As a seasoned musician I can attest that we grow and mature. Should we simply drop anchor in the harbor of "wash, rinse and repeat" would we not quickly become very stagnant in our musical scope? I personally have tremendous respect for the growth that DT are displaying here. Does this have a Rush feel? Yes. But it is widely known that Rush have always been a big influence in the musical foundation of DT. It is the diversity that DT have always shown that keeps me coming back time after time. John Petrucci has always challenged me as a guitarist to keep pushing the envelope. This album is no different. I want to buy a DT album and hear DT as I have come to know them-revolutionary and innovative. This album does just that.

SuperCrywolf1 Yea. Since i like Rush it doesnt really bother me. I just feel their writing isnt as refined as the earlier albums, mostly due to them being contracted for an album every 2 years, which started around Octavarium/SC.

I don't really understand people saying how they (particularly Mike Mangini) lacks soul and they are boring. I saw them last night, what more do these guys have to do to accomplish that? Shoot rainbows out their ass and lasers out their eyes?

I know man. I saw them last week here in Phoenix, MM is the man!! I like Portnoy, but MM plays his heart out during live. One of best live DT concerts I have seen in a while.

He’s a great drummer

Actually its not about lacking soul, that is the first time I heard that. For me, its all about Mangini's equipment. His tone just seems off on most DT songs after Portnoy. Sounds more like electronic drums.

@hannahkozlovic1715 4 жыл бұрын

i’m pretty sure people are just saying mangini plays “without feel” because they’re just desperately grasping for a logical explaination as to why they don’t like him. (the sound of the drums on the mangini albums does sound different, i know. this is only partially a joke)

@Decalpha 3 жыл бұрын

Because Mangini is better drummer than Portnoy. That's all. But Portnoy is better composer. Now DT can push further on drums. The albums post Portnoy are amazing too, so the haters mob just keep trolling.

This video has a nice, quite lovely feeling because they're all facing inwards in a ring, toward each other. It's like they're playing for each other.

Awesome song, awesome band, finally get to hear myung play, and better music content than black sabbath (nowadays). I still think this music video is better than the enemy inside...

This reminds me so much of Rush's Limelight, especially at the solo, but I think that was intentional. Such a great song, but then again, does Dream Theater even have a bad song?

@BenMichalowicz 10 жыл бұрын

Yeah, Rush was the first influence to hit me from this song. The solo bit, I hadn't thought of that, and the idea of Dream Theater having a bad song varies from person to person. Personally, a better way of saying it is that some songs are better than others, but that also depends from person to person

@Blade658 10 жыл бұрын

Ben M Yeah dude, that's honestly the way that I verify that they are an amazing band. The way that for any one song or album, there are people who hail that one as their masterpiece. It just varies on who you talk to.
