Dream Theater Şarkı Sözleri

Dream Theater - A Vision

Heaven
A place within your eyes
Forever I wear
this second hand disguise
In time to find your world
this lifetime disappears
yes we understand
In space but not in time
my guardian is here
I can't understand
Imagine wanting nothing more
The angel you've been sending for
Now just don't turn away
Dreamer
Reaching in and finding out
A Vision
I must capture it somehow
The first light
that cast a spell to later cry
Will always remain
This force of life
It's power in a look of fire
Was calling your name
Don't you feel it?
Yes, Believe it
It's time to set emotions straight
this space is wasting a dream
And it can't wait
[Chorus:]
Here I am
Cross this bridge and come my way
The answer to a prayer
A light for us to share
In all our Glory
Someday
We will hold our lives as one
And I will carry you
Until our Kingdom Come
Can't you hear me?
Disbelief
is why the spirit falls below
One to One
is all the faith one needs to grow
This tension I feel
Is it really fair?
One of you will have to leave here
these words will break the line
that ties our worlds together
And I will never go
Remember having dreams to share?
We've been taught to hide our fear
But now you can't turn away

Dream Theater - A Mind Beside Itself

Love, just don't stareHe used to say to me
Every Sunday morning
The spider in the window
The angel in the pool
The old man takes the poison
Now the widow makes the rules

'So speak, I'm right hereShe used to say to me
Not a word, not a word
Judas on the ceiling
The devil in my bed
I guess Easter's never coming
So I'll just wait inside my head

Like a scream but sort of silent
living off my nightmares

Voices repeating me
'Feeling threatened?
We reflect your hopes and fearsVoices discussing me
'Others steal your thoughts
They're not confined
within your mind
Thought disorder
Dream control
Now they read my mind on the radio
But where was the garden of Eden?

I feel elated
I feel depressed
Sex is death, death is s*x
Says it right here on my crucifix

Like a scream but sort of silent
Living off my nightmares

Voices protecting me
'Good behavior
brings the savior
to his kneesVoices rejecting me
'Others steal your thoughts
They're not confined
to your own mind
[Dialogue by rap artist Prix-mo reading from the book "Cultural Revolution"]

"I don't wanna be here, 'cause of my
suffering, 'cause of my illness
Only love is worth having, only
love is what matters, loving every
people on equal terms"
"You've got to know who you're
dealin' with, because, like a stranger,
a-heh, just might come in through
here with a gun and then, what
would you do? (Heh)"
"Everything is immaterial"
"'n' you know that reality is immaterial"
"This is not reality"

I'm kneeling on the floor
Staring at the wall
Like the spider in the window
I wish that I could speak
Is there fantasy in refuge?
God in politicians?
Should I turn on my religion?
These demons in my head tell me to

I'm lying here in bed
Swear my skin is inside out
Just another Sunday morning

Seen my diary on the newsstand
Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand
It's a shame no one is praying
'cause these voices in my head
keep saying

'Love, just don't stare'Reveal the Word when you're supposed toWithdrawn and introverted
Infectiously perverted
'Being laughed at and confused
keeps us pleasantly amused
enough to stay
Maybe I'm just Cassandra fleeting
Twentieth century Icon bleeding
Willing to risk salvation
To escape from isolation

I'm witness to redemption
Heard you speak but never listened
Can you rid me of my secrets?
Deliver us from darkness?

Voices repeating me
'Feeling threatened?
We reflect your hopes and fearsVoices discussing me
Don't expect your own Messiah
This neverworld which you desire
Is only in your mind

III The Silent Man

A question well served
'Is silence like a fever?'A voice never heard?'Or a message with no receiver?
Pray they won't ask
Behind the stained glass
There's always one more mask

Has man been a victim
Of his woman, of his father?
If he elects not to bother
Will he suffocate their faith?

Desperate to fall
Behind the Great Wall
That seperates us all

When there is reason
Tonight I'm Awake
When there's no answer
Arrive the Silent Man

If there is balance
Tonight he's Awake
If they have to suffer
There lies the Silent Man

Sin without deceivers
A God with no believers
I could sail by
On the Winds of Silence
And maybe they won't notice
But this time I think
It'd be better if I swim

When there is reason
Tonight I'm Awake
When there's no answer
Arrive the Silent Man
If there is balance
Tonight he's Awake
But if they have to suffer
There lies the Silent Man

Dream Theater - A Change Of Seasons

I The Crimson Sunrise
(Enstrumental)

II Innocence
I remember a time
My frail, virgin mind
watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depth of winter's snow
Innocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life in me
Still I longed to search for more
But those days are gone now
Changed like a leaf on a tree
Blown away forever
into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
and my sun's not so bright
I struggle to hold on
with the last of my might
In my den of inequity
viciousness and subtlety
struggle to ease the pain
struggle to find the sane
Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear
All my life's been drained from me
The end is drawing near

III Carpe Diem
'Carpe diem, seize the day'
I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall ticking away
'Seize the Day'
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way
Look around
Hear the sounds
Cherish your life while you're still around

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying"

We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for the future
But there might not be one
The words stuck in my mind
alive from what I've learned
I have to seize the day
To home I returned
Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, 'I Love YouGood-bye'

"It's the most awful thing you'll
ever hear"
"If you're lying to me"
"Oh, you dearly love her"
"just have to leave All our lives"
"Seize the day!"
"Something happened"
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may"
"She was killed"

IV The Darkest of Winters
(Instrumental)

V Another World
So far or so it seems
All is lost with nothing fulfilled
Off the pages and the TV Screen
Another world where nothing's true
Tripping through the life fantastic
Lose a step and never get up
Left alone with a cold blank stare
I feel like giving up
I was blinded by a paradise
Utopia high in the sky
A dream that only drowned me
Deep in sorrow, wondering why
Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what, don't let him be
Let's feed upon his misery
Then string him up for all the world to see
I'm sick of all you hypocrites
holding me at bay
And I don't need your sympathy
to get me through the day
Seasons change and so can I
Hold on Boy, No time to cry
Untie these strings, I'm climbing down
I won't let them push me away
Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what, don't let him be
Let's feed upon his misery
Now it's time for them to deal with me

VI The Inevitable Summer
(Enstrumental)

VII The Crimson Sunset
I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
run through my head
They taught me how
for better or worse, alive or dead
I realize there's no turning back
Life goes on the offbeaten track
I sit down with my son
Set to see the Crimson Sunset
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
Many years have come and gone
I've lived my life, but now must move on
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
He's my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my life is done
We look into the sun
'Seize the day and don't you cry,
Now it's time to say good-bye
Even though I'll be gone,
I will live on, live on'

Dream Theater - Anna Lee

Open your eyes
And turn off your mind
Step right up folks and you will find
Agrowing trend
An epidemic
Spread with zen
And hypodermics

Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes

The big machines take care of
You until you kill yourself
And then the sales go through the roof
Calculated, formulated
Feed my head with simple thoughts
And let me breathe instead of being taught
All bottled up and tearing at the seams
I'm bored
Just let me breathe

A daily dose of eMpTyV
Will flush your mind right down the drain
Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain,
Make yourself a household name

Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes

The big machines take care of you
Until you kill yourself
And then the sales go through the roof
Calculated, formulated
Feed my head with simple thoughts
And let me breathe instead of being taught
All bottled up and tearing at the seams
I'm bored
Just let me breathe

Strike up your best angst ridden posture
Manufactured anger
Let's not forget my legacy
All my heroes have failed me
Now they're dead and buried

Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes

The big machines will take care of you
Until the fashion fades
And the checks go through
my bank roll's red and my face is blue
And still they'll turn their backs on you for
Someone new

Feed my head
With some real thoughts
And let me think instead
Of being taught
I'll say things
You won't believe
Just stand back
Just let me breathe

Dream Theater - Another Day
Live another day
Climb a little higher
Find another reason to stay
Ashes in your hands
Mercy in your eyes
If you're searching for a silent sky

You won't find it here
Look another way
You won't find it here
So die another day

The coldness of his words
The message in his silence
"Face the candle to the wind"
The distance in my voice
Isn't leaving you a choice
So if you're looking for a time to run away

You won't find it here
Look another way
You won't find it here
So try another day

They took pictures of our dreams
Ran to hide behind the stairs
And said maybe when it's right for you, they'll fall

But if they don't come down
Resist the need to pull them in
And throw them away
Better to save the mystery
Than surrender to the secret
No!

You won't find it here
Look another way
You won't find it here
So try another day

Dream Theater - As I Am

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

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, yeah
As I am

Dream Theater - Bad

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate

If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
I'd leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day

To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go

This desperation
Dis########
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go

And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so to fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

Dream Theater - Damage

Dealing out the agony within
Charging hard and no one's gonna give in
Living on your knees, conformity
or dying on your feet for honesty
Inbred, our bodies work as one
Bloody, but never cry submission
Following our instinct not a trend
Go against the grain until the end

Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
Damage Incorporated

Slamming through, don't fuck with razorback
Stepping out? You'll feel our hell on your back
Blood follows blood and we make sure
Life ain't for you and we're the cure
Honesty is my only excuse
Try to rob us of it, but it's no use
Steamroller action crushing all
Victim is your name and you shall fall

We chew and spit you out
We laugh, you scream and shout
All flee, with fear you run
You'll know just where we come from

Damage Incorporated
Go

Damage jackals ripping right through you
Sight and smell of this, it gets me goinKnow just how to get just what we want
Tear it from your soul in nightly hunt
Fuck it all and fucking no regrets
Never happy ending on these dark sets
All's fair for Damage Inc you see
Step a little closer if you please

Dream Theater - Endless Sacrifice

cold, lying in my bed
staring into darkness
lost, i hear footsteps overhead
and my thoughts return again

like a child who's run away
and won't be coming back
time keeps passing by
as night turns into day

i'm so far away and so alone
i need to see your face to keep me sane
to make me whole

try to stay alive
until i hear your voice
i'm gonna lose my mind
someone tell me
why i choose this life
this superficial lie
constant compromise
endless sacrifice

pain, it saddens me to know
the helplessness you feel
you're light shines on my soul
while a thousand candles burn
outside this barren room
the rain is pouring down
the emptiness inside
is growing deeper still

you're so far away and so alone
you long for love's embrace
to keep you sane to make you whole

try to stay alive
until i hear your voice
i'm gonna lose my mind
someone tell me
why i choose this life
this superficial lie
constant compromise
endless sacrifice

moments wasted
isolated
i'm escaping
endless sacrifice

moments wasted
isolated
i'm escaping
endless sacrifice

over the distance
we try to make sense of
somebody together
while living apart
striving for balance
we rise to the challenge
i'm staying connected
in spite of circumstance

all you've forsaken
and all that you've done
so that i can't give up
this ongoing dream
all we've forgotten
or taken for granted
alone we remember
the endless sacrifice

moments wasted
isolated
i'm escaping
endless sacrifice
