Careless Whisper Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I just thought I'd like to share my favorite Dreamtheater songs and their lyrics.. [spoiler=Regression][H:]"Close your eyes and begin to relax. Take a deep breath, and let it outslowly. Concentrate on your breathing. With each breath you become morerelaxed. Imagine a brilliant white light above you, focusing on this light asit flows through your body. Allow yourself to drift off as you fall deeper anddeeper into a more relaxed state of mind. Now as I count backward from ten toone, you will fill more peaceful, and calm. Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Youwill enter a safe place where nothing can harm you. Five. Four. Three. Two. Ifat any time you need to came back, all you must do is open your eyes. One." [N:]Safe in the light that surrounds meFree of the fear and the painMy subconscious mindStarts spinning through timeTo rejoin the past once again Nothing seems realI`m starting to feelLost in the haze of a dream And as I draw nearThe scene becomes clearLike watching my life on a screen Hello Victoria so glad to see youMy friend [spoiler=Strange Deja-Vu][N:]Subconscious strange sensationUnconscious relaxationWhat a pleasant nightmareAnd I can`t wait to get there again Every time I close my eyesThere`s another vivid surpriseAnother whole life waitingChapters unfinished, fading Closer now - Slowly coming into viewI`ve arrived - Blinding sunshine beaming through There`s a house I`m drawn intoFamiliar settings, nothing newThere`s a pathway leading thereWith a haunting chill in the air There`s room at the top of the stairsEvery night I`m drawn up thereThere`s a girl in the mirrorHer face is getting clearerYoung child won`t you tell me why I`m here? In her eyes -I sense a story never toldBehinde the disguise - There`s something tearingAt her soul [V:]Tonight I`ve been searching for itA feeling that`s deep inside mTonight I`ve been searching forThe one that nobody knowsTrying to break free I just can`t help myselfI`m feeling like I`m going out of my headTears my heart into twoI`m not the one the sleeper thought he knew [N:]Back on my feet againEyes open to real worldMetropolis surrounds meThe mirror`s shattered the girl Why is this other lifeHaunting me everydayI`d break through the other sideIf only I`d find the way Something`s awfully familiarThe feeling`s so hard to shakeCould I have lived in that other worldIt`s a link that I`m destined to make I`m still searching but I don`t know what forThe missing key to unlock my mind`s door Today I am searching for itA feeling that won`t go awayToday I am searching for itThe only one I knowTrying to break free I just can`t help myselfI`m feeling like I`m going out of my headTears my soul into twoI`m not the one I thought I always knew I just can`t help myselfI`m feeling like I`m going out of my headUncanny, strange Deja VuBut I don`t mind - I hope to find the truth [spoiler=Through My Words][N:]All your eyes have ever seenAll you`ve ever heardIs etched upon my memoryI spoken through my words All that I take with meIs all you`ve left behindWe`re sharing one eternityLiving in two mindsLinked by an endless threadImpossible to break [spoiler=Fatale Tragedy][N:]Alone at nightI feel so strangeI need to findAll the answers to my dreams When I sleep at nightI hear the criesWhat does this mean? I shut the door and traveled to another homeI met an older amn, he seemed to be aloneI felt that I could trust himHe 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 foreverOnly memories remainShe passed awayShe was so young Without loveWithout truthThere can be nothing back Without faithWithout hopeThere can be no peace of mind As the night went onI started to find my wayI learned about a tragedyA mystery still today I tried to get more answersBut he said, "You`re on your own"Then he turned away and left meAs I stand there all aloneHe said, "You`ll know the truthAs your future days unfold" Without loveWithout truthThere can be nothing back Without faithWithout hopeThere can be no peace of mind [H:]"Now it`s time to see how you died. Remember that death is not the end butonly a transition." [spoiler=Beyong this life][Headline:] "Murder, young girl killedDesperate shooting at Echoe`s hillDreadful ending, killer diedEvidently suicide" A witness heard a horrifying soundHe ran to find a woman dead andLying on the ground Standing by her was a manNervous, shaking, gun in handWitness says he tried to helpBut he`d turned the weapon on himself His body fell across that poor young girlAfter shooting out in vainThe witness ran to call for assistanceA sad close to a broken love affair Our deeds have traveled farWhat we have been is what we are She wanted love foreverBut he had another planHe fell into an evil wayShe had to let him downShe said "I can`t love a wayward man" She may have found a reason to forgiveIf he had only tried to changeWas their fatal meeting prearranged?

Allow the light tolead you away from your past and into this lifetime.
