Fucking idiot.

Oh.
But yes.
I could also see this song being about a girl with split personality.
That's what I love about music.
Interpretation.

Dream Theater – Losing Time / Grand Finale Lyrics 14 years ago
As a sufferer of anxiety disorder and all that comes with it (depression etc)....this is just describing how things fall into place when you've managed to trudge through the worst of it.

"She doesn't recall yesterday
Faces seem twisted and strange
But she always wakes up
Only to find she'd been miles away"

When you've been warring with yourself for so long, things sort of run together, and you start to lose your sense of time and place. It's hard to describe, but it's a very disturbing feeling because you have little moments of reality when everything sinks in. When you realize "you've been miles away".

Wanting to escape
She had created a way to survive
She learned to detach from herself
A behavior that kept her alive

I dont see this line as creating a split personality. It's just in your distress you want to escape from yourself. And this verse is especially true for me. With all my anxiety problems, and my time with my psychiatrist, I indeed found a way to survive. I found a way to use what was bothering me to my advantage, thus taking the power out of my fears. "Detaching myself" from them in a sense. Without the fear powering my worries, I was able to not focus on them, and indeed detach myself from them.
It really was what made the difference. "kept me alive".
The last part of the song, is simply less about the girl and just about our mind in general. Hope in the face of our human distress" really resonated with me. Because, even when I was at my worst, I simply wanted a way out. And as thus, it really did help me learn more about myself and my "illusive mind".
And the part about shame keeping us from saving the ones we love, that is also very true. If my parents and friends hadn't of helped me through that time of my life, I don't know where I would be today. And indeed shame was a big part of my problem. I had a lot of troubles accepting that I had a mental disorder. And when I finally did I fell apart. It took several long months to see it wasn't so bad. But indeed, I felt like I was crazy. And because of my family and friends, I was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
that is just my two cents.

Rush – Bravest Face Lyrics 16 years ago
I see this song as being a sort of reality check. It seems to be telling us that, where this is something of face value...there is something more to it. There is more to find behind the cover, is what I'm trying to say. It sort of tells the story of how we as human beings enjoy the stories and tales of the idealized, the romanticized view of the world. It's how we try to forget and put aside the actual truths of our world and our people (whether it be good or bad) for a beautiful lie. And in creating these lies, we must put on our bravest face to endure the actual truths.
To live, and to lie. That is what this song is about.

Dream Theater – Hollow Years Lyrics 17 years ago
jesus you guys take phrases too literally. Just cuzz someone says "EASY WAY OUT" doesn't immediately pertain to suicide. It could be several things. Like for example, merely just giving up on something, like others have said...marriage. Instead of working things out, he just backs out and leaves. The EASY WAY OUT.

DragonForce – Through the Fire and Flames Lyrics 18 years ago
there isn't anything metaphorical about it. You can draw other meanings from it...but the fact remains Dragonforce is a EPIC band. Their songs are based on tales of fantasy of their own creation. They've even said they were inspired by an old dungeon crawling video game.

Dream Theater – Sacrificed Sons Lyrics 18 years ago
This is one of my personal favorite songs from dream theater. It has a slow and haunting build with "HEADS ARE TURNING, TOWARD THE SKY" until it explodes into "WHO WOULD WISH THIS ON OUR PEOPLE" As if to mimic the moment each plane collided with harrowing force upon the twin towers.
Powerful stuff.
