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.

Waiting
In the calm of desolation
Wanting to break
From this circle of confusion
Sleeping
In the depths of isolation
Trying to wake
From this daydream of illusion
How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me
How can I know so many
Never really knowing anyone
If I seem superhuman
I have been
Misunderstood
It challenges the essence of my soul
And leaves me in a state of disconnection
As I navigate the maze of self control
Playing a lion being led to a cage
I turn from a thief to a beggar
From a god to God save me
How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me
How can I know so many
Never really knowing anyone
If I seem superhuman
I have been
Misunderstood
Playing a lion being led to a cage
I turn from surreal to seclusion
From love to disdaid
From belief to delusion
From a thief to a beggar
From a god to God save me
How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me
How can I know so many
Never really knowing anyone
If I seems superhuman
I have been
Misunderstood
