This post is inspired by the song 'The Answer Lies Within' from the album Octavarium. The best cure that a confused , tired mind could ask for. There are times when I feel like I've lost the whole thread of my life. Sometimes, life sucks like hell. It is one of those days today.
When life hits a low, taking some time off for yourself and indulging in some serious soul searching will help. Taking stock of what you exactly want to do and what you should be doing is a great help once in a way. Keeps me sane in this mad world. And DT has showed me what I should be actually doing instead of moping around and wasting my time. :D
To all those who can't pull themselves up and face life here is DT's mantra which might help. It did help me.
Look around
Where do you belong
Don't be afraid
You are not the only one
Don't let the day go by
Don't let it end
Don't let a day go by in doubt
The answer lies within
Life is short, so learn from your mistakes
And stand behind, the choices that you made
Face each day with both eyes open wide
And try to give, don't keep it all inside

Dream Theater = Home
You must definitely be wondering how Dream Theater can possibly be equated to home!!. Let me unravel this mystery for you without further ado.
It's simple. You stay with your parents, siblings etc.. enjoy the warm comfort of your mom's simple yet healthy cooking. Then one day its time for you to leave the nest and make a future for yourself somewhere else. You long to relive the days of peace, a simple home cooked meal from your mom and so much more else. When the day comes for you to return home, you look forward to it with all your heart. You might have visited the top restaurants everywhere you went , tasted the best food and slept on the most plush comfy springy beds et al.
What does actually satisfy you in the end? Your own bed with the soft blanket and your mom's delicious biryani or dosa or freshly brewed cup of coffee!
You listen to bands like Iron Maiden, Cradle of filth, Children of Bodom,Lamb of God,Tool and what not. No one can work the magic that DT work on you. The other bands are equal to the posh restaurants, comfy springy beds etc., Dream Theater are like your own room, your mom's delicious cooking and that freshly brewed cuppa that you can't get enough of! They are like home. :D
That is what Dream Theater are for me. Are they the same for you?
DISCLAIMER : I am NOT comparing bands here.Thank you.
