    My favourite song on this record. This album is honestly faultless and in my opinion, it's DT best album in years. It's easily my most played album this year. I've listened to it an unhealthy amount of times since its release. For me it's my album pick of the year, with Shadow of Intent - Melancholy coming in at a close second.

    This is my favorite song on the album. "Promises made, crying in vain, all empty, never accepting the blame, and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turned to years, all wasted on someone not willing to change, now only a shadow remains." Every time I hear that line I tear up, it's so powerful. This song speaks of two people who faced hardships and did what they could to escape, but I feel like to can apply to almost any situation of recovery from hard times. Thank you, Dream Theater, for continuing to inspire.

    In a dark and lonely corner, of a time-worn dockside inn
    Sits a local barstool warrior, talking to his gin
    Tracing past decisions, he motions for a shot
    Is he doomed to be a man this world forgot?
    Just a prisoner of the monster on his back
    Call it bad luck, call it fate
    Call it stuck here the rest of my days
    Serves me right, what went wrong
    And where do I belong?
    In the glow of flashing lights, on the shoulder of the road
    Clutching at the bruises on her skin
    She tries to signal danger with anguish in her eyes
    Will he see the world of pain she's in?
    Or is it too late?
    Was it bad luck, was it fate
    Or a past that she couldn't escape?
    It's not right, something's wrong
    Just where do I belong?
    Promises made, crying in vain
    All empty, never accepting the blame
    And not letting go of the shame
    A river of tears, as months turned to years
    All wasted on someone not willing to change
    Now only a shadow remains
    No one can save you
    And there's no one to see
    It has been written
    You will become all you think, all you feel, all you dream
    Now I'm cutting the anchor away
    And I won't look back
    I'm starting a new life today
    Now I see where I belong

    • @faroffgrace5490
      @faroffgrace5490 5 років тому +12

      Those are... Not the lyrics. First line is "In a dark and lonely corner, of a time-worn dockside inn", and I'm pretty sure line 3 is "Tracing past decisions, he motions for a shot" rather than "treating". Then in the second verse, it's "Clutching at the bruises on her skin". But aside from that, it's right - nice job if it's a by-ear transcription. I got mine from the official lyrics in the special edition though.

    A top 5 song since 6 degrees imo. Solo is a top 3 petrucci ever.

    I love this CD, bringing the songs back to under 10 minutes was a well welcome, they are my favorite band I do enjoy the longer songs but this brings me back to the Images and Awake CDs.

    Promises made, crying in vain
    All empty, never accepting the blame
    And not letting go of the shame
    A river of tears, as months turned to years
    All wasted on someone not willing to change
    Now only a shadow remains

    Lyric:
    In a dark and lonely corner, all the time in Dark-side inn
    Sits a local barstool warrior, talking to his gin
    Treating past decisions, he motions for a shot
    Is he doomed to be a man this world forgot?
    Just a prisoner of the monster on his back
    Call it bad luck, call it fate
    Call it stuck here the rest of my days
    Serves me right, what went wrong
    And where do I belong?
    In the glow of flashing lights, on the shoulder of the road
    Clutching at the bruised and tired skin
    She tries to signal danger with anguish in her eyes
    Will he see the world of pain she's in?
    Or is it too late?
    Was it bad luck, was it fate
    Or a past that she couldn't escape?
    It's not right, something's wrong
    Just where do I belong?
    Promises made, crying in vain
    All empty, never accepting the blame
    And not letting go of the shame
    A river of tears, as months turned to years
    All wasted on someone not willing to change
    Now only a shadow remains
    No one can save you
    And there's no one to see
    It has been written
    You will become all you think, all you feel, all you dream
    Now I'm cutting the anchor away
    And I won't look back
    I'm starting a new life today
    Now I see where I belong

    I don't really know what to add here as most fans have already beautifully articulated my thoughts not just about this track, but the album on a whole. I received the Deluxe Box Set just a day after it's release (February 23rd). I have played the Blu-ray at least a dozen times as I play Vinyl more often. I simply love the animation of each and every track as it epitomizes the visual experience as much as listening. My favorite animation off this album is "At Wit's End" and the most SPOOKY experience I had, was with "Room 147". Reminds me of 'The Grudge' woman with long ass hair (goosebumps).
    Dream Theater are my favorite band since 1999 when I first heard them. 'Distance Over Time' is by far one of the BEST releases in their discography in a long time. My favorite track off this album is "S2N", I totally dig that tune as well as the Bonus BANGER called "Viper King" (great animation too). Totally kicks ass! \m/ \m/
    P.S.: For those who bought the Deluxe Version, did you guys notice artwork from Octavarium (The Answer Lies Within) in the animation of "Untethered Angel"?
