Sozleri oldukca agresif ve sitem dolu ve sonundaki klavye solo efsane olan baba sarki , ayrica kevin moore ustadin artik asla bahsetmedigi ve calmadigi sarkidir, oyle muhtesemdirki asla ve asla coveri yapilamayacak sarkilardan biridir.
dream theater'ın hiçbir konserinde çalmadığı ve çalmayacağı şarkı. nitekim mike portnoy ; " kevin, awake den sonra gruptan ayrılacağını bize baştan söyleseydi, şarkıyı albüme de koymazdık " demiştir.
buna dream theater şarkısı demek hakarettir aslında diğer dt şarkılarıyla hiç alakası yoktur. bu şarkı bir kevin moore şaheseridir. kendim için özel sandığım hisleri nasılda bu kadar basit cümlelerle ve böyle müzikle bir araya getirmiş hayret. komalık bir şarkıdır.
dream theater grubundan ayrılan , klavyeci kevin moore un reklam kataloğundaki bir kıza aşık olup yazdıgı süper duygusal bir şarkıdır.
sözleri;
falling through pages of martens on angels
feeling my heart pull west
i saw the future dressed as a stranger
love in a space-dye vest
love is an act of blood and i'm bleeding
a pool in the shape of a heart
beauty projection in the reflection
always the worst way to start
"but he's the sort who can't know [sample is julian sands from the ]
anyone intimately, least of all a [film "a room with a view". ]
woman. he doesn't know what a woman
is. he wants you for a possession,
something to look at like a painting or an ivory box.
something to own and to display. he doesn't want you to be real,
or to think or to live. he doesn't love you, but i love you.
i want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when
i hold you in my arms. it's our last chance... it's our last chance..."
now that you're gone i'm trying to take it
learning to swallow the rage
found a new girl i think we can make it
as long as she stays on the page
this is not how i want it to end
and i'll never be open again
"...i was gonna move out...ummm...get, [sample from "the trouble with ]
get a job, get my own place, ummm, [evan", from the canadian series ]
but... i go into the mall where i ["the fifth estate". ]
want to work and they tell me, i'm,
i was too young..."
"some people, gave advice before, [sample is jim hill from a news ]
about facing the facts, about [commentary about the oj simpson ]
facing reality. and this is, this [freeway chase. ]
without a doubt, is his biggest
challenge ever. he's going to have to face it.
you're gonna have to try, he's gonna to have to try and,
uh, and, and, and get some help here. i mean no one can
say they know how he feels."
"that, so they say that, in ya know [sample from the conan o'brien ]
like, houston or something, you'd [show. ]
say it's a hundred and eighty degrees,
but it's a dry heat.
in houston they say that?
oh, maybe not. i'm all mixed up.
dry until they hit the swimming pool."
"...i get up with the sun... listen. [sample from "the trouble with ]
you have your own room to sleep in, [evan", from the canadian series ]
i don't care what you do. i don't ["the fifth estate". ]
care when. that door gets locked,
that door gets locked at night by nine o'clock.
if you're not in this house by nine o'clock, then you'd better find some
place to sleep. because you're not going to be a bum in this house.
supper is ready..."
there's no one to take my blame
if they wanted to
there's nothing to keep me sane
and it's all the same to you
there's nowhere to set my aim
so i'm everywhere
never come near me again
do you really think i need you
i'll never be open again, i could never be open again.
i'll never be open again, i could never be open again.
and i'll smile and i'll learn to pretend
and i'll never be open again
and i'll have no more dreams to defend
and i'll never be open again
I was looking through a clothing catalog & saw a picture of a girl modeling this piece of clothing called a space-dye vest. and, so, i fell in love with her [laughs] for some strange reason & so the minute i did that, the minute i was just like obsessed with this person, i was like, 'why am i doing that?' & i noticed that i was doing it a lot lately. and i think the prime reason that i was doing that, and this is what i figured out at the time, was that i had just come out of a relationship where i'd gotten dumped, basically, and so i think the situation was that i wasn't finished giving all that i was ready to give, so i was just, like, throwing it around, you know, just aiming it in different directions. it was a total case of projection. and this song is just trying to sort it out & just kind of admitting that i'm just kind of lost. so it's kind of a dark song. it was very cathartic though."
love is an act of blood and i'm bleeding
a pool in the shape of a heart
beauty projection in the reflection
always the worst way to start "
gibi dehşet sözleri olan dream theater ın eski klavyecisi kevin moore un bigun bi kataloga bakarken gordugu kızdan etkılenmesıyle yazılmıstır. Moore resmen katalogdaki kıza aşık olmustur ve madem ona sahip olamıcam bi şarkı yazıyım diye yazmıstır.
denilen odur ki şarkıyı yazan şahıs* bir moda dergisine bakarken bir modelin üzerinde space dye vest* isimli futuristik bir moda fotoğrafı görmüş ve fotoğraftaki kıza aşık olduğunu hissetmiştir. şarkının ilham kaynağı budur.
dream theater in piyanosuyla insani kendinden geciren, ucuran super sarkisi. mutlaka dinleyin derim ben. sozlerinin ozellikle "love is an act of blood and i'm bleeding" kismi can alicidir. sozleri de soyle:
