Oh and now that I think about it, they probably put the Winnie the Pooh bit in there to remind the listener that the woman has children. Also, as she is committing suicide, she looks at Eyore's smile. She feels empty, and probably finds that the smile represents an artificial happiness or something like that. Or maybe the naive joy of youth. |

Well here's a comment: Can an eight-year old male even have sex? I wonder what percent of human males reach puberty by age eight... probably extremely low, if not zero. But also, yeah. Good song. |

I'm pretty sure the Winnie the Pooh part is just a new tie that she tries. It also has Eyore on it apparently... The question is, why does her husband have a Winnie the Pooh tie? Oh, and great song. |

| also, how the key changes during the instrumental part and it never goes back. It's like crossing over to the other side. | |
| Dream Theater – Trial of Tears Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Yeah that would be cool if "Ill dream with them one day" was a reference to DT. idk if it is. | |
| Dream Theater – Burning My Soul Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
So this is about DT's struggle with their producers or something? I could look on the DT forums and post it here but it doesnt matter. Great song either way. |

Favorite DT stand-alone song. Not to say that it doesn't fit into its album. |

(not sure how to edit on this website) In my comment above, that was under the "man saves a girl from drowning" assumption as stated by Petrucci. |

It's also worth mentioning that the line "Drowning in the past" fulfills somewhat of a double role. The girl is dwelling on what happened in the past, "drowning in it" so to speak, whereas the man literally drowned in the past. So he's drowning in the past in the sense that if you looked into the past, you'd see him drowning. (I suppose the girl was at one point literally drowning, but she didn't completely drown. Are you "drowning" only if you will die from it, or if you would die from it if it continued? Doesn't matter really.) |

no, not from Shy. Tony Kakko stated in an interview that it's only Caleb, The End of This Chapter, and Don't Say a Word, in a group that goes in that order (although Caleb was released later). And was the guy from Shy even a stalker? |
|
| Sonata Arctica – The End Of This Chapter Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Actually, ForthesakeofRevenge, and to add to what Tarciryan said, Tony Kakko specifically said in an interview that "The End of This Chapter" is part of a trilogy involving only "The End of This Chapter," "Don't Say a Word," and "Caleb," which is the prequel. (He compares it to Batman Begins.) | |
| Dream Theater – The Root of All Evil Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think the lack of resolve not only transitions to the next song in the alcoholism saga, but it also surely makes the ending of "Octavarium" even better, since it features the same sequence, except it does resolve. I love the part in Root of All Evil from 0:46 to 1:00, like a more drum version of what was in Dying Soul. BTW, you must really love DT, YtseJam...You have very insightful posts on all of their songs, plus, after careful consideration of your SN, I realized that's "Majesty" backward... DT's original name... very nice. |
