Dream Theater (often abbreviated to DT) is a progressive metal and rock band, formed by three students at the Berklee College of Music in 1985. In the twenty years since their inception, they have become one of the most successful progressive bands since the height of progressive rock in the mid-1970s, despite being relatively unknown in mainstream pop and mainstream rock circles. Their two highest selling albums are 1992's "Images and Words", which was awarded a gold record and is consistently regarded as a seminal progressive metal release; and 2005's deeply conceptual "Octavarium". Following the line of the conceptual creation of Dream Theater, we have the quartet of albums: Metropolis 2: Scenes From A Memory, Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence, Train Of Thought and the Octavarium itself. Also we have a quartet (so far) of tracks: "The Glass Prison" (SDOIT), "This Dying Soul" (TOT), "The Root Of All Evil" (Octavarium), and "Repentance" (Systematic Chaos) where by the composition of Portnoy he explains the steps of the alcoholic rehabilitation.

Lyrics wretten by John Petrucci
Music written by John Myung, John Petrucci,
Mike Portnoy, and Jordan Rudess
She can't stop pacing
She never felt so alive
Her thoughts are racing
And set on overdrive
It takes a village
This she knows is true
They're expecting her
And she's got work to do
He helplessly stands by
It's meaningless to try
As he rubs his red-rimmed eyes
He says I've never seen her get this bad
Even though she seems so high
He knows that she can't fly
And when she falls out of the sky
He'll be standing by
She was raised in a small mid-western town
By a charming and eccentric loving father
She was praised as the perfect teenage girl
And everyone thought highly of her
And she tried everyday
With endless drive
To make the grade
Then one day
She woke up to find
The perfect girl
Had lost her mid
Once barely taking a break
Now she sleeps the days away
She helplessly stands by
It's meaningless to try
All she wants to do is cry
No one ever knew she was so sad
Cause even though she gets so high
And thinks that she can fly
She will fall out of the sky
But in the face of misery
She found hopefulness
Feeling better
She had weathered
This depression
Much to her advantage
She resumed a frantic pace
Boundless power
Midnight hour
She enjoyed the race
