Octavarium
[Music: Dream Theater] [I. Someone Like Him] [Lyrics: John Petrucci] 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 sevure Content to live each day like it's my last It's wonderful to know That I could be Something more than 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)] [Lyrics: James LaBrie] 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 him 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 geting through to me [III. Full Circle] [Lyrics: Mike Portnoy] Sailing on the sevev 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 hsow 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 careful 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] [Lyrics: Mike Portnoy] [First] Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath Remove all obstacles from our path [Second] Asking questions Search for clues The answer's been right in front of you [Third] Try to break through Long to connect Fall on deaf ears and failes muted breath [Fourth] Loyalty, trust, faith and desire Carries love through each darkest fire [Fifth] Tortured Instanity A smothering hell Try to escape but no avail [Sixth] The calls of admirers Who claimthey adore Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more [Seventh] Innocent victims of merciless crimes Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs [Eighth] Step after step We try controlling our fate When we finally start living it has become too late Trapped inside this Octavarium Trapped inside this Octavarium Trapped inside this Octavarium Trapped inside this Octavarium [V. Razor's Edge] [Lyrics: John Petrucci] We move in circles Balanced all the while On a gleaming razor's edge A perfect sphere Colliding with our fate Whis story ends where it began January 16 Dream Seven: Train of ThoughtTrain of Thought - 2003
As I Am
[Lyrics by John Petrucci]
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's over your head Don't try to read between the Lines Are clearly defined Never lose sight of Something you believe in Takin' 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 Takin' 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 This Dying Soul
[Lyrics by Mike Portnoy] [IV. Reflections of Reality (Revisited)] Hello, Mirror - so glad to see you my friend, it's been a while Searching, Fearless - where do I begin to heal this wound of self-denial Face yourself man! Brace yourself and trace your hell back You've been blinded, living lie a one way cold existence all the while Now it's time to stare the problem right between the eyes you long lost child I wanna feel your body breaking Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold I want to heal your conscience making a change o fix this dying soul Born into this world a broken home Surrounded by love yet all alone Forced into a life that's split in two A mother and a father both pulling you Then you had to deal with loss and death Everybody thinking they know best Coping with this shit at such an age Can only fill a kid with pain and rage Family disease pumped through your blood Never had the chance you thought you could Running all the while with no escape Turning all that pain in to blame and hate Living on your own by twenty one Not a single care and having fun Consuming all the life in front of you Burning out the fuse and smoking the residue Possessive obsessions selfish childish games Vengeful resentments Passing all the blame Living out a life of decadence Acing without thought of consequence Spreading all your lies from coast to coast While spitting on the ones that matter most Running power mad with no control Fighting for the credit they once stole No one can ever tell you what to do Ruling other's lives while the can't stand the thought of you A living reflection seen from miles away A hopeless affliction having run astray I wanna feel your body breaking Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold I want to heal your conscience making a change o fix this dying soul Now that you can see all you have done It's time to take that step into the kingdom All your sins will only make you strong And help you break right through the prison wall [V. Release] Come to me my friend (Listen to me) I'll help this torture end (Help to set me free) Let your ego go (I can't carry this load) You can't go through this alone (I feel so hopeless and exposed) You'll find your peace of mind (Give me some direction) You can no longer hide (Break out of this isolation) Let humility (Openness, honesty) And become what you can be (A healing tranquility) Help me Save me Heal me I can't break out of this prison all alone These tormenting ghosts of yesterday Will vanish when exposed You can't hold onto your secrets They'll only send you back alone Your fearless admissions Will help expel your destructive obsessions With my help I know you can Be at one with God and man Hear me Believe me Take me I'm ready to break right through this prison wall Dedicated to Bill W. and all of his friends January 14 Dream Six (the longest dream): Six Degrees of Inner TurbulenceSix Degrees of Inner Turbulence - 2002 下载地址：http://www.it4book.com/2Listen/yuanchaodi/PS2005/radio/dt/06.wma 无论从专集长度来看（2CD 90多分钟）还是单曲长度来看（Degree Six:Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence 42分钟），都是DT录音室专集中最长的作品。 情况有变，DT的亚洲巡演已经开始，在日本站的前两场中都没有The Glass Prison出现，其中一场被Solitary Shell取代了，这样也好，我本来就觉得The Glass Prison过于激烈了，而且现在的这三首反而正好连贯。
Solitary Shell [lyrics by John Petrucci]
About to Crash (Reprise) [lyrics by John Petrucci]
Losing Time / Grand Finale [lyrics by John Petrucci] January 11 Dream Five (the eternal dream): Metropolis PT 2: Scenes From a MemoryMetropolis PT 2: Scenes From a Memory - 1999
第三任键盘手Jordan Rudess在经过了两张liquid tension experiment专集的磨合后首度正式出现在DT的专集之中，这张概念性大作是DT也是前卫金属历史上永恒的经典之作！歌词不用去刻意理解，整张专集描述的是一个故事，每首歌曲只是故事的一部分。可以的话真想把整张专集都作为试听。。。
Fatal Tragedy （最后三分钟的Instrumental太精彩了）
[N:]
Alone at night I feel so strange I need to find All the answers to my dreams When I sleep at night I hear the cries What does this mean? I shut the door and traveled to another home I met an older amn, he seemed to be alone I felt that I could trust him He talked to me that night; "Lad did you know a girl was murdered here?" "This fatal tragedy was talked about for years" Victoria`s gone forever Only memories remain She passed away She was so young Without love Without truth There can be no turning back Without faith Without hope There can be no peace of mind As the night went on I started to find my way I learned about a tragedy A mystery still today I tried to get more answers But he said, "You`re on your own" Then he turned away and left me As I stand there all alone He said, "You`ll know the truth As your future days unfold" Without love Without truth There can be no turning back Without faith Without hope There can be no peace of mind [H:] "Now it`s time to see how you died. Remember that death is not the end but only a transition."
