LYRICS
Over and over again
I relive the moment
I'm bearing the burden within
Open wounds hidden under my skin
Pain as real as a cut that bleeds
The face I see every time I try to sleep
Is staring at me crying
I'm running from the enemy inside
Looking for the life I left behind
These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind
And I can't escape from the enemy inside
I sever myself from the world
And shut down completely
All alone in my own living hell
Overcome with irrational fear
Under the weight of the world on my chest
I buckle and break as I try to catch my breath
Tell me I'm not dying
I'm a burden
I'm a travesty
I'm a prisoner of regret
Between the flashbacks and the violent dreams
I am hanging on the edge
Disaster lurks around the bend
Paradise came to an end
And no magic pill
Can bring it back again
![Dream Theater - On The Backs of Angels [OFFICIAL VIDEO]](/img/n.gif)
Did he find a toilet or not?
Yes. At 5:10. But he apparently missed it and kept looking.
I think he looking for his pant that's why you not seing anyone else
kkkkkkkkkkk
cried a river
He didn't find any ,he pooped his pant
Its unbelievable how Dream Theater in almost every song explain to me my own psychic and spiritual problems. Im struggling with schizophrenia for 7 years, and by listening to these genius songs and lyrics I find myself fighting with more and more strenght and faith. Thank you, Dream theater
Owwww poor bby!
Because they create the divine music :)
I hope life is well with you, friend.
hope you are doing well so far
I hope you find yourself well, friend.
This looks like a video about a guy violently trying to search for a public toilet because he has to take a shit immediately LMFAO
ayy lmao
HOLY SHIT HAHAHAHAHA
LITERALLY HAHAHAHAHA
"The Enemy Inside"
5:11 - salvation!!!!!!!
And in my opinion he looks like Johnny Sins.
I also suffer from PTSD. These lyrics are very, very accurate…
Can I ask you if you went to fight or escaped from some war?
@@alecolon4601 I did not. However, I had a very abusive mother who nearly killed me on several occasions
@@mineguy98 hope you’re safe and cherished now, that is absolutely horrifying…
I also suffer from PTSD. And it is disturbing how accurate these lyrics are. Like... How could they even know that?
@@mineguy98 i feel you bro! Stay safe and remember that the world is filled with lots of horrible people. So the world also needs people like you
This is one of my favorite Dream Theater songs
No it's not
@@officialProject-X wrong
@@Beefy3240 no im not
@@officialProject-X "I have absolute dominion over other's opinions"
Ok why not just call yourself fucking God while you're at it
Same here
THIS should won that grammy!!
This is the perfect song for me to do cardio to... “running from the enemy inside” yeah the enemy inside is my fat ass
Made any progress?
QUOTE FROM JOHN: We hate doing music vids...this is just for the hell of it, explains why they never make them guys its about the music, not how cinematic your videos are
I'm assuming you mean the John that talks?
Nick Yelovich lol'd so hard 😆😂🤣
Nick Yelovich 😆
Which John?

..öll
When you have 5$ for the music video
And 35 million for the musicians
Nice Agalloch profile pic!
@James LaBrie nah mike is just too good
But this one actually have one 😝
I don't associate dream theater with videos. They're beyond imagery. But I get the idea of what you're saying
I don't know why everyone in the comments are complaining about the 4/4, this song is fucking awesome, like a million times better than all the shit you hear these days on the radio, I know since Mike is gone, things are different, but the are still great af. Wish there was more bands like Dream Theater!
That, my friend, that is the worse opinion of all. Resignation. To say "a million times better than all the shit you hear these days on the radio". Who cares what the radio plays? No, I won't resignate to accept that a song is good just because it's better than others. You can't compare DT to inferior bands, you have to compare it to the better bands, or to their own better songs. Also, there are a lot of bands like Dream Theater, some better, some not so much, some different. Planet X, Porcupine Tree, Tool, IQ, Plini, Spastic Ink, etc, etc.
I know the other bands, but they are waaaaay different than DT.
I know the music today is garbage and its a bad comparison I made, but come on, isn't true that everyone in the comment section is complaining of this masterpiece. It is a million times better than other "metal bands" even, and people still complain about this? Is that fair?
Agreed! DT are the masters of metronomes, but there is nothing wrong with writing a good song in 4/4! Why not?
For those complaining, I guess they committed suicide upon hearing the Astonishing! (Just a joke guys, OK?)
This is not a masterpiece. Learning to live, Metropolis, Finally Free, a Change of seasons, Octavarium, The Dance of eternity, those are masterpieces. This is an ok song. I like it and all, but this is just a good song, nothing else.
but that intro guitar riff is just melt in the mouth beautiful
I swear this video is about a drunk dude trying to find his way home XD
i dont wether to smack ya and bash ya or say hey welcome to real music... hmmm lol
i love the song, i just thought of the music video being about a drunk dude XD
hahah all good man
XD
Acid trip more like it.
Been a huge fan of DT since Images and words. I really liked systematic chaos . This seems to be nice and heavy, just like that. I am glad they are still putting out great music.
Yeah.. they put out great music because they are the greatest musicians lol
boomboxlegends six degrees of innard turbulence and train of thought have some heavy stuff too
Oh yeah, really reminds me of Systematic Chaos too! No wonder I like this song so much!
Title: The Enemy Inside
What I see: Johnny Sins
What comes in mind: War Inside my head
I served in the Marine commandos. Bosnia, afganistan and iraq. The lyricks hit right to my face. DT is always been close to my heart.
Remember: Life is good.:D
Thanks for serving!
mf was in bosnia ICANT
OMG! that drumming is incredible in this song.
it is!
Mike mangini my boy
congrats on grammy nomination
This song is awesome,motivates me like a m.f.
This is one of those songs - called Dream Theater songs - that keep getting better and more powerful the more you listen to them.
Totally agreed.
Anyone besides me who thinks the solos in this song are very underrated?
he is a killer musician.
***** That's an opinion ;)
Yeah better than hangar 18 solos
Walking to school like.......
+Auvell Mullens fucking true feeling hate and fucked up ahahahah
True lol
Congratulations Mike Mangini for your incredible playing. You are one of the best drummer in the world. One of my favorite.
Nick Yelovich I love portnoy but jeez chill out.
LOL
@@bigpapij0sh LOL he isn't.
Yes Mangini fucking kicks Portnoys ass in this album
Jaja the most curious thing is since portnoy left the band they began to have grammy nominations
Amazing... DT has captured the essence of PTSD without experiencing it. Most of us will never know what our returning servicemen and women are really going through. I hope this song helps some of them know they are not forgotten.
Every Dream Theater album has a different sound style, but objectively none of them is bad.
This is why I love this band.
This will forever be Mangini's song for me... It's not less iconic than any DT banger made with Portnoy too. It's is such a good song and this is the Dream Theater that I love
Absolutely. To me it even sounds like something that Portnoy would come up with, and I don't know why. The drums sound more organic or something 😅
I didn't see this song until today. It is probably one of the best Dream Theater song's i have ever heard. I have many more favorites, mainly from the album "Images and Words", yet I have not really looked into their new songs until today. Wonderful job, well done
I'm really digging the more straight metal approach this song has. A lot of people say DT releases the same album over and over, and this proves they can change things up a bit. Only thing lacking for me was Myung's godlike bass riffs, but I'm sure we'll hear many more masterpieces when this amazing album drops!
9 years and only 8 likes, oh dude
@@Definetlyalivehe's at 40 now
My favorite things about Dream Theater have to be: When LaBrie sings during their bridges, when Petrucci sets off on his insane solos, when Rudess just sweeps that keyboard like there's no tomorrow... And then, together with Myung's badass riffs, and Mangini's fantastic fills and rolls, it creates a masterpiece like this. I'm happy that every album I hear of theirs gets better and better. Can't wait for the 24th!
I like how the riffs and grooves in this song seem like there is no escaping them and they always fall a bit short on where you were expecting them to end, it kinda gives the feeling of some sort of desperation and "powerlessness" that goes well with the song meaning.
Johnny Sins? is that you?!
Hahahahaah çok komikmiş
Cagdas Tekoz you made my day dostum
I thought the same thing 😂
Türkler olarak her yerdeyiz
Batu Tuncel aynen
Dream Theater have been one of my favorite bands since I was kid. This track is absolutely solid. Can't wait for the album!!
So this is the first song where we get to see Mangini have a huge creative output on the drumming. Awesome job! :)
0:27 got my ears!
THAT RIFF!
Epid3mic 3:22 again
I love it, except for one note. It's always bothered me. 6 on the E string. THAT NOTE ruins the riff for me.
Shamic Entertainment Bb is a note not in the key of the song making a sense of release when the note switches, even though if you played both notes at the same time they would play very dissonant and would sound good, it’s held to portray the stress of the song
@@gavinhiller724 tritone. Gives it scary feel
It’s such a satisfying riff to play, one of the first I learned when I got my seven-string. I forgot it
When you already have a song called: "War Inside My Head".
It's even about the same thing :/
Ot was just a movement tho lol
@@Cobalt985 it's not
@@respaticondro5905 one's schizophrenia, other's PTSD, schizophrenia can actually be triggered by PTSD if you're already prone
But that's not a song, that's a segment of a song.
Heavy, progressive, melodic and it has really interesting lyrics.... Great song.
Man, James is really channeling his inner Dave Mustaine at the beginning of this song. It's cool!
This video has a million + views, so proud of you DT! :')
Yup that was the plan. Forget about making music with character
If you've stuck around long enough, you know their albums usually have one or two more mainstream suited songs, while the majority of the album is still what they always do...
Yash Chauhan I've stuck around long enough to know that they've practically released the same album 5 times. Talk about being progressive. Go on, vehemently deny that that's the case.
I'm one of those fans that thinks FII is a good album, because it's an enjoyable listen and feels natural, unlike most modern DT albums that are contrived as hell. They need to loosen up again.
Omair Sheikh
I agree they are a little bit contrived right now, but this song is as good as anything they've ever released IMO. One of my favorites. As for denying that they haven't released the same album five times, I'll agree the album structure is similar, but each album is distinctly themed and strikes me in their own unique way. The same goes for every song, powerful in it's own way. I will agree they need to loosen up a bit and be themselves again, but this is still a AWESOME song on an album which is a worthy addition to the Dream Theater Lineup.
Omair Sheikh Yeah, sure. This is definitely the same song, ops, same mainstream song over and over again. Even radio-stars suprises us more frequently. :)
You've probably never listened to Iron Maiden,
Mangini does such a great job, this album is amazing, imo.
This band is absolutly amazing, iv been listening to them for 16 years and have NEVER beer disappointed, they just keep getting better and better!
i love this song dude. it makes me want to go run a mile.
And run from the enemy inside
I listen this song for long runs, it is really motivating! (although its not my #1 favorite Dream Theater 's song)
Hahaha good one! :p
BRILLIANT BAND !!!
5:09 Just when I thought JP couldn't deliver a powerful solo to blow my mind like the old times...there he goes.
I do not understand why people criticize Mangini so much, the guy does it very, any drummer would like to have his level, DT was the one who chose Mangini because it is the best option after Portnoy. I recommend that you stop looking for Portnoy in the drums of Mangini, and enjoy what he has to offer. The band sought a replacement, not a new Portnoy
Pablo Antonio Rivas Azuaje agreed 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Both Drummers are very talented. They both are definitely above par. Better than most all of the rock Drummers out there.
Pablo Antonio Rivas Azuaje
marco minemann was a much better choice
@@drbastianac8252 Nope. Mike Mangini is far2 better. Minemann had no same energy on audition. So DT didn't choose him.
What I don't understand is why hiring one of the greatest drummers in the planet to make him sound likes 'generic metal drums preset n°2' from Addictive Drums
I was listening to this today, and I never payed attention to all the lyrics. And then I heard "paradise came to an end...and no magic pilllll...can bring it back again". I thought that was a pretty clever lyric.
+TheBushwooky
No magic "pill" ;) And yes, great lyrics and song.
Grievance87 lol whoops, not sure how I even typed that
Matrix reference?
10 years already god dang, it's sill fresh
the instrumental part at 02:13 never fails to catch my attention *-*
It's awesome
+Rubik ehehe ... I`m in the merchant navy, I remember listening to this song on the bridge full volume and my 19 year old filipino watchman said about this part: `sounds like a anime theme song` second ... aaaahaha now I don`t know anime but I always smile when i hear this part XD.
+IgorIgor44 Nice story :-)
Yes its awesome. I think these guys took the music for the next level, like they are not playing in a normal way. They are so good.
Ok here are the track lengths, don't know if it's official but found them in wikipedia.
False Awakening Suite 12:42
The Enemy Inside 6:17
The Looking Glass 4:53
Enigma Machine 6:02
The Bigger Picture 7:41
Behind The Veil 6:53
Surrender To Reason 6:35
Along For The Ride 4:45
Illumination Theory 22:18
.
false awakening suite is 2:42 not 12:42.
Shit this is 9 years old, i hope you're ok!
This new DT is awesome! I heard they are going to releasing another track from the self-titled album this upcoming week too. Definitely going to buy this new album when it comes out.
Download it all and listen to it all. I've been listening to DT nonstop for 10 years now. Loving them more and more!
Took me awhile to get into this song, now I can't stop listening. Perfect "single" for this album, everyone shines in it.
1:30 James Mustaine(?
Dave Mustaine + James LaBrie = James Mustaine LOL
You are re hard
Daniel Esteiro What the faaak ar u duin hir nigga???
Ramiro Ezequiel Stalking. Actually just checking what you and dee ehs are so fangirly about
Daniel Esteiro huehueheheu spik teh Turth
I'm surprised people don't realize this song and video is about a person with anxiety/panic disorder. Takes one to know one I guess.
+Gabi S I'm pretty sure they do... hopefully
+Damien Mutzakki See, I thought anxiety and PTSD.
same with me, +depression
it's about an ex soldier not being able to find a home with Anxiety and of course PTSD hence the lyric "I'm running from the enemy inside"
+Gabi S PTSD, actually. If you watch the other video it's highlighted somewhat more.
Good luck dream theater!!!!!!
I don't know. I've been told a lot about how dream theaters amazing so naturally, I listen to their top viewed songs. Now I don't know if these are their best songs, but it's not 1989 anymore. It seems like the genre died and it die for a reason. They just sound like everyone else. Its mostly the voice, the melodies, and the themes/lyrics. I don't undeestand what the fuss is about!
I ask this seriously, are you can't stop listening this song too?
Someone call that guy an Uber.
What a riff for the intro
There is only one DT. Kings!
Definitely one of the weirdest songs to put at 2x speed
It is as weird played in 0.5x speed!
0.75x sounds so badass
Dude what the fuck lmao, Dream Theater nightcore lmao
@@nicolarighetto3767 it is!
Sounds happy
Who is here from El Estepario Siberiano video?
One of my favourite songs ever!
This band and song is SO amazing!!!
This is quite good.
in an interview the band mates stated this song was inspired by the feeling of constipation
A Acks The title makes so much sense now.
It s about a personne that has a virus. Trying to run from the pain. I am not surprised you have 50 something people linking your comment... People preffers take all things easy with no reserch.
@@alinmateescu1221
Actually, dipshit, it's about P.T.S.D... that's painfully obvious in both the lyrics and the other music video that was released. So not only are you a hypocrite because you also didn't do your research, but you're also a fucking moron for not being able to detect a joke. Get off the internet
Made me laugh for real.
@@alexg3455 Lack of IQ in general population and degree of fragidity is really infuriating isn't it?
Don't know why reviewers put this album at the bottom of their lists. I absolutely love it!
I find it so amazing that some people think this is a radical departure from DT's sound. How is it so different?
This is their heavier's song... and its awesome! we need more of this from them.
+Cesar Burgen panic attack is heavier
Cesar Burgen Heaviest song in the album* because their heviest song from them maybe its Lie, almost anything from train of tought or the dark eternal night
Waldo Torres Honor Thy Father is their heaviest I think.
Vacant definitely
the softest song off train of thought is heavier than this
They played this track in Hala Tivoli, Ljubljana yesterday early on in the concert, and it was so fucking powerful live. Unreal... The chorus won't stop ringing in my head.
OMG I agree, I was there in the front row and it was amazing!!
Jaz tud! xD
gamhacked crazytinch video from the performance on my channel :))
Mike Mangini's drums add so much to the vibe when they sound like intermittent automatic weapons.
Its always a pleasure to hear whats new from DT despite all comments pos or neg
The video reached the million views, proof that no matter the pissed off kids about the already 3 yo story on Mike Portnoy's departure bullshit, and the "they are not the same anymore" argument (while each of their albums are completely different from one to another anyway ! ) people are still listening to that and keep coming back to the video !! nicely done dt. + most of you are saying "the drum mix sucks" actually the snare drum is only a bit goofy, but the rest of the mix is just flawless (maybe a bit too loud, but you know the mastering has to be louder and louder if you want your shit to be "sellable" in the market)
You are the first person I have ever seen on youtube to explain that from an engineer stand point.
lucas myers MOM, COME HERE!
I FOUND WALLY!
They have never had one album that was similar to the last, that's what I love about Dream Theater
Daniel Crozier rly? For me, they can put all the last albuns in one big 10, 15 cd´s pack. they all look the same for me... before was 1 or 2 "bad songs" in a album, now its hard to find 1 or 2 really "new" song! Even the guitar effecs are the same. I´m done for DT since SDOIT...
Marcos Alencar Yeah unfortunately will have to agree. The new album isn't anything original. This song is fun and has sweet riffing but much of it is recycled.
A really nice song, thank you for your great work!
This song is better with every time i listen to it, i don't know how but it is.
Awake, Images and Words, Black Clouds and Silver Linings. These are great.
Rhythm is like "This Dying Soul"
by far the best
The intro so powerfull !!
Three weeks abroad, no internet. Now I listen back the song and it sounds even better than before. Can't wait for my preordered album to arrive.
Amazing! The Best Band in the World!
DT's music is like wine, they sound better and better as they age \m/
Octavarium, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, The Count of Tuscany, In The Presence of Enemies (both parts), Metropolis Part 2 (the entire album, favourite song/album ever).
Can't stop listening to this awesome music
when you just ate a wickedly strong edible, it hits and you're out in public
It doesn't sound anything like the last album, but I think this song would fit right in on Train of Thought. Definitely very guitar driven, but I'd be surprised if the whole album was like that. We will probably get a lot of variety just like on past releases.
At first I wasnt a big fan of this track, but now it is one of my favorites from recent years from these guys! And the new album is just amazing overall.
The Xylophone-like sounds make the instrumental sound like a Golden Sun Bossfight Theme and i really dig it. Nicely done!
One of their best, in my opinion!
One of 30 I guess...
Looks like Johnny Sins is looking for his way home
This video would have a great "plot-twist" at the end, the crazy guy of the clip was just the enemy inside of a common man, with a common work as all of us.
imagine watching this guy filming this clip in the streets and thinking to yourself "jesus chirst this guy's high as fuck"
that moment when you realize the lyric video has got more views than the actual video clip !
Beacuse it has been realeased long before the videoclip.
love it...i hope the whole new album gonna be like this!
Wonderful song! It's so nice to listen it! Thanks! Congratulations!
Todos los dias escucho Dream Theater, para mi ya estocar el cielo, si bien Iron Maiden ,Kiss;Ozzy,Slayer,Megadeth ,satriani, ect,etc,son buenos o buenisimos, que de hecho e escuchado de todo, Dream ya es mas que musica mas alla de lo puedas imaginar con demasiadas notas y mucha melodia e inspiracion , esta banda piensa en notas musicales demasiado, buen video buena cancion ,aunque ay temas mejores que este, esperemos su disco para el mes proximo, suerte Dream Theater...
April 2019 listen
Wow, they had the time signature changes really well. I couldn't fully appreciate this band until listening to other prog material and getting used to drumming. This is fantastic!
A brilliant, genious composition!!!

D.T.
Pain "As" Real As A....
Cotramjoxxx Look for lyrics.
J.P. you mean...:)
Ferdinando Beneventano del Bosco in this lyrics says "pain AS real..."
This is honestly a great song!
I agree completely. That album was elegant and beautiful.
go dream theater!!!!!!!
