Don't Look Past Me Lyrics
"I don't know, I feel a lot of distance and I feel far away.
I'll see you later..."
I have seen you born before me
I have watched you die
I have heard every word you said to me
Leave no question in your mind
There is no brighter star to guide you
Don't look past me to the sun, the sun is I
I am the sun...
So close the door behind him
He wanders slowly to the car
Trying to lift his heavy heart
He says...
"I feel bad about this.
I feel really bad about this.
Just, just let me feel bad about this."
I'm through just getting by
Countless times a friend has told me
Watch out for the wave
Now it seems the sea will be my grave
And still you swim to save me
Even though the water is much colder now
Even though the water is much colder now
Sometimes you can act on intuition
Sometimes you can use a different point of view
I've found that in such a position
I could always come to you
(Sun) I've seen you weep
I have seen you tired and lonely (without you)
But it only takes one heart (one heart)
To lift you up and send you on
Can you understand the life I've shown you
Understand it's me, I'm giving you
I have seen you born before me
I have watched you die
I have heard every word you said to me
I have no question in my mind
There's been no brighter star to guide me
I don't look past you to the sun,
so don't look past me to the sun,
The sun is...
And so love is broken
They're asking me how can you help
When you don't even know how that feels
I don't need one thousand reasons
When someone starts to cry
When someone says my heart needs lifting
Don't ask how come, ask how high
I have seen you born before me
I have watched you die
I have heard every word you said to me
Leave no question in your mind
There is no brighter star to guide you
Don't look past me to the sun, the sun is I
Leave no question in your mind
There is no brighter star to guide you
Don't look past me to the sun, (it knows where you are)
I'll see you later..."
I have watched you die
I have heard every word you said to me
There is no brighter star to guide you
Don't look past me to the sun, the sun is I
I am the sun...
He wanders slowly to the car

There is no brighter star to guide you
Don't look past me to the sun, (it knows where you are)

This song just screams Jesus. There might be a reason that this was left off Falling Into Infinity.
This song was written before Images and Words, not Falling into Infinity.

Mmmm... I think these are the correct lyrics:
Dream Theater Don’t Look Past Me
"I, I mean. Look, I, I don't know I, I feel a lot of distance and I feel far away I'll see you later..."
I have seen you born before me I have watched you die I have heard every word you said, believe me
Leave no question in your mind There is no brighter star to guide you Don't look past me to the sun The sun is I, I am the sun

I have no question in my mind There’s been no brighter star to guide me Don't look past me to the sun, the sun is I
I have no question in my mind There’s been no brighter star to guide me Don't look past me to the sun... (I’ll carry the cross with you)
I think that this song is simply about a lead singer's girl, who has always been there. "Countless times a friend has told me watch out for the wave/But now it seems the sea will be my grave" "But still you swim to save me/Even though the water is much colder now"
To me, it feels like its about good friends, that no matter what they'll always be with you. From saving someone from drowning, guidance, and many other things life throws at us.
Definitely about God...
No wonder it was disallowed on the album, Dream Theater is metal, supposably performed by christian musicians, yeah sure. I hope tha selling your souls was a bitter experience.
Jesus loves you, James, John, John, Mike and Jordan. Never forget it...
