i love the guitar and lyrics in this song, you can hear all the heart and soul that was poured into it. so sad they left mike portnoy behind but what they did make was fucking amazing.
"Let it out, let it out, fill the empty space, so insecure find the words and let it out" "but I feel im getting nowhere, and i'll never see the end" "so I wither, and help myself helpless". This song just hits me right in the feels so much. I can relate to this so much, it makes me tear up at times.
Actually the lyrics don't mean anything. John Petrucci himself said it in a interview. This song is about the thought process and emotions that go in writing a song. It's kind of a blank stage where you don't know what is the story and what music you will accompany. He also said that the song doesn't have deep lyrics. It's personal struggle and thoughts while writing a song.
I didn't cry, to be honest I didnt feel a single thing when listening, but the lyrics are awesome, instrumentation is awesome, solo is amazing. LaBrie voice is so awesome. ''wow you used the word awesome like 3 times there danny. . .''
Idk what this song is about, but it fits perfectly for someone in rehab, the group therapy and aa meetings.. needing to connect with emotions and speak up, sharing with the group
its not about writers block, your right alicia its about mike portnoys struggle in recovery at times, i also went through rehab and i currently work the steps in NA, and this song sums up step work for sure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-step_Suite they also did this which is pretty damn intense for a recovering addict/alcoholic :-)
First verse is about how he starts writing a song. "Let it out, let it out" He's letting loose and clearing his mind. The chorus is about when writer's block starts to stop him from continuing, and how he pushes past it. "I give in and everything is clear. I break down and let the story guide me." The break after the second chorus is how he doesn't always get past the writer's block. "Tear it out again... Another one that got away..." Tear out the page that this song was on. It's going nowhere, start over.
condolences to you my friend, I hope you overcome your sadness quickly... for me this song reminds me of my highschool life, back when friendship means something, really miss that time now that I'm at work and everyone seems have their own sinister agendas
Great song. I like to read all the people how they put their own story to the music. Funny enough (for those who dont know this) this song was written by John, and the whole meaning of the song how he feels when he has no idea how to write a song, and he actually wrote about nothing. Like he even said Wither the song about nothing.
Let it out, let it out Feel the empty Space So insecure find the words and let it out Staring down, staring down Nothing comes to mind Find the place turn the water into wine But I feel I'm getting nowhere And I'll never see the end So I wither And render myself helpless I give in and everything is clear I breakdown And let the story guide me Turn it on Turn it on Let the feelings flow Close your eyes See the ones you used to know Open up open up Don't struggle to relate Lure it out Help the memory escape Still transparentness consumes me And I feel like giving up So I wither And render myself helpless I give in And everything is clear I breakdown And let the story guide me I wither And give myself away Light reflections on the cage The worlds want to create I drown in hesitation My words come crashing down And all my best creations Burning to the ground The thought of staring over Leaves me paralyzed Tear it out again Another one that got away I wither And render myself helpless I give in And everything is clear I wither And render myself helpless I give in And everything is clear I breakdown And let the story guide me I wither And give myself away Light reflections on the cage The worlds want to create The worlds which you create Let it out let it out
"I wither And render myself helpless I give in and everything is clear" DT clearly seems influenced here from Creed. Props to Mike portnoy, his ghost notes still resonate within me
By four chords, I mean the I-V-VI-IV chord progression normally referred to as the "four chord progression." It is overused in pop music, and I was just a bit surprised to find it here. But I still love this song.
james obrien if you've ever tried to write a riff you'll find nearly everything has been done one way or another at some point. Bohemian rhapsody solo is a scale guess they're ripping off whoever invented scales too. Stop looking for empty you're rights on UA-cam and enjoy this beautiful song
Very similar chord progression to ‘Let’s Go to San Francisco’ by The Flowerport Men. I hope the Flowerpot Men themselves have heard this and appreciate Dream Theater’s epic, grandiose overlay and Petrucci’s guitar embellishments as much as I do.
My mums ex husband told me to listen to this and im a 15 year old girl and i like songs like this and other songs pop and rock. E.g megadeath, ACDC and iron maiden. :D
@m16ortiz00 well said by ur heart 5 stars for him appreciated bt me I'll give all the stars which they insist in this universe.........!!! still it is not enough for him....!!!
Just came in from smule because I dig chord progression but never heard this song before. The name "dream theater" sounds familiar though. Reading the lyrics begs the question, is this a Christian band?
2:54 One of the most beautiful melodies I have ever heard
i love the guitar and lyrics in this song, you can hear all the heart and soul that was poured into it.
so sad they left mike portnoy behind but what they did make was fucking amazing.
check again now
LOVE this song. I'm a huge DT fan...this song makes me cry its so beautiful!
Leave it to Dream Theater to make writer's block sound like the most depressing thing ever.
It is..... lol

After failure this semester this makes a lot sense than did before especially when he said "the thought of starting over leaves me paralyzed "
i’ve never related to a comment more
Such a great song..say what you want about Labrie's vocals but here he nails it in my opinion
This song helped me survive through a lot. Dream Theater you beauty!
My first Dream Theatre song, and i have only one question... HOW COME ONLY NOW I'VE DISCOVERED THIS AMAZING BAND!!!
welcome to heaven ;)
Mark Wakefield amazing
"amazing guitarness" 😂😂love it
Listening to it after breakup, feels so new!!!
Respect fromm The Himalayas...Nepal!!!
subodh sharma yeah
Ironically, this song helps with writer's block.
Noth
ing ironic. Makes perfect sense! :)
Wow, I've never put attention in the lyrics. Today, for some reason, I did and I'm crying
and you hevent listened the best time.....if you you put attention in the l will bet that you're crying
champFichtnerBourne yes i went through a stage like this... musics powerful, everyone experiences it bro you're not alone
hope comes..

Alicia Taylor I feel u. Been listening to this ever since........
I love this song but it's so hard for me to listen to, it has an extremely strong connection to something tragic that has happened in my life.
I know this comment is two years old, and I don't wanna get into other people's business, but would you care to explain what happened?
condolences to you my friend, I hope you overcome your sadness quickly...
for me this song reminds me of my highschool life, back when friendship means something, really miss that time now that I'm at work and everyone seems have their own sinister agendas
i absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is simply amazing - can't stop listening
Cada día me siento mas orgulloso de mi mismo por el hecho de ser fan de Dream theater.
The intro is fucking amazing
Yes it is amazing:D
i totally agree! it tears like a knife!
Mez Hossain couldnt have said it better mez 👍

This song is just amazing!!
Last Album with Mike... maybe my favorite one, amazing songs and solos.
now this song is just perfect ♥
Dream Theater is always the best!
Let it out, let it out
Feel the empty Space
So insecure find the words and let it out
Staring down, staring down
Nothing comes to mind
Find the place turn the water into wine
But I feel I'm getting nowhere
And I'll never see the end
So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in and everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me
Turn it on
Turn it on
Let the feelings flow
Close your eyes
See the ones you used to know
Open up open up
Don't struggle to relate
Lure it out
Help the memory escape
Still transparentness consumes me
And I feel like giving up
So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me
I wither
And give myself away
Light reflections on the cage
The worlds want to create
I drown in hesitation
My words come crashing down
And all my best creations
Burning to the ground
The thought of staring over
Leaves me paralyzed
Tear it out again
Another one that got away
I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me
I wither
And give myself away
Light reflections on the cage
The worlds want to create
The worlds which you create
Let it out let it out
my gosh, this song is amazing!
that solo gives me goosebumps...
definitely a good credits theme for a video game
Best song in this album :)
I clearly hear "... still THIS barrenness consumes me..."
IgorJugulatorZotov nice songl
You're right man!!!
love it...love it...love it!!!!
really love this song!
"I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in and everything is clear"
DT clearly seems influenced here from Creed. Props to Mike portnoy, his ghost notes still resonate within me
This song is so many memories
One of my all time favourite ❤️🤘
Perfect. Nearly 57,000 views and not a single dislike. Just what we all want to see
Every time I'm losing my hope and dreams, every time I wanted to give up in this world this song maid me alive again
By four chords, I mean the I-V-VI-IV chord progression normally referred to as the "four chord progression." It is overused in pop music, and I was just a bit surprised to find it here. But I still love this song.
the solo isnt a complete rip off but is quite similar to the solo in bohemian rapsody.
especially at the start and the ascending runs in the solo
james obrien if you've ever tried to write a riff you'll find nearly everything has been done one way or another at some point. Bohemian rhapsody solo is a scale guess they're ripping off whoever invented scales too. Stop looking for empty you're rights on UA-cam and enjoy this beautiful song
one of my favourite Dream Theater's song...
no ones can beat this lovely song..
Rangga scallywag
I can beat off to it
0 dislikes? My hope in this world is restored
Hahaha. 73 dislikes. The world sucks
@@studioreep7449 hahaha
When i was young oftened listening this song without knowing the title, but the melody sou powerfull to remind, at the cassete era
I like this song...its so deep..
I was looking for another song and i thought this was it and god damn this shit nice :)
I think the writers block theme is just a metaphor for stagnating and having 'writers block' in ones life and existence.
Just.... AMAZING
Anyone here in 2021 january... These masterpiece will never die..
Very similar chord progression to ‘Let’s Go to San Francisco’ by The Flowerport Men. I hope the Flowerpot Men themselves have heard this and appreciate Dream Theater’s epic, grandiose overlay and Petrucci’s guitar embellishments as much as I do.
The best of music!!!!!!!!!!!!
"if this" said dirt
The world's what you create
Dunia adalah apa yang kau ciptakan
The song is great, but damn the intro is heavean
Yes. Very good intro
Whoever doesn't like dream theater has a mad taste in music dream theater is fucking awesome
imagine James Hetfield's black album voice on Dream Theater's music.....
....
okay maybe im imagining this but does yhe starting riff sound a bit like the starting of one by metallica
Yash Mehan Probably the only weakpoint in DT is the vocals.
That’s perfect
wow.... dream theater
"harmony shizzz"
, YEAH!!! lol
Holy shit this song is amazing.
Great song :')
This song reminds me of Anakin's turn to the dark side
magnificent xo
great way to turn every pop fan to a DT fan....
Oh my. Truer words have never been written.
This was my first Dream theatre song☺️
Can any one suggest some more beautiful songs from this legendary band?
Sangeet Kc The Count of Tuscany, same album this song is in, one of the longest songs from DT, beautiful ending!
Thanks for your sub :D
"The first fall of creation ???" ^^ Very very Epic,Epicnesses. ^^
"turn the water into wine"?
That's what been confusing me.. what's the song really about? 🤣
You're not Christian then
@@dsangbonang4994 song is about the writing process for writing songs. Said by John Petrucci in a loudwire interview
Love this song
You would have thought it was called "Let it out" as much as you would have called "Whither" But greatest none the less.Enjoy the genius!
In the beginning, the correct is: feel the empty space.
No, it's fill
Well, i'll be damned, nevermind, it's feel
I'll never listen to this music like before
What a great song
Nice song.
Rainbow3Warrior27 you´re sick!
@Rainbow3Warrior27 Goddamnit, now I can't stop giggling over such a somber song D:
My mums ex husband told me to listen to this and im a 15 year old girl and i like songs like this and other songs pop and rock. E.g megadeath, ACDC and iron maiden. :D
How do you call that guitar or guitar effect? I'm talking about the one in the intro
Forgedelver The "chorus" effect.
Sounds like a chorus and light delay. Maybe even some reverb as well. A really beautiful clean tone to say the least
Great song
@Rainbow3Warrior27 Thank you now every time I listen I laugh the crap out of me...
love with this song
Perfect song
Thanks
"1st fall of creation" . ^^
I feel like I've heard this song before in an end credits to a movie ... O.o
@m16ortiz00 well said by ur heart 5 stars for him appreciated bt me I'll give all the stars which they insist in this universe.........!!! still it is not enough for him....!!!

Just came in from smule because I dig chord progression but never heard this song before. The name "dream theater" sounds familiar though. Reading the lyrics begs the question, is this a Christian band?
the lead is like bohemian rapsody but petrucci make it like snake riding on a guitar
To any video game fans reading the comments, This reminds me of Petra
hahahahaha :D i felt a little bit weird when i saw this comment
haha but i think you're point is true
you throwing EVH into the fire???
@Rainbow3Warrior27 So you have no CLUE right?
