Constant Motion Lyrics

Tunnel vision at blinding speed
Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me
Void of any uncertainty
throughout my very soul
Lost illusions of my control
Resisting all hope of letting go
Racing impulse of dark desire
drives me through the night

I try to shut it down
It leaves me in the dust
No matter what I've found,
I can never get enough
Frantic actions of insanity
Impulsive laced profanity
Long for elusive serenity
Way out of my control

[CHORUS] Traveling through both space and time
(Out of body, out of mind)
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
(I can't let up, I can't let go)
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more into the night, blistering

Focus here, focus there
(Cannot see the light falling down through the night)
Sprawling everywhere
Searching left, searching right
(Panic setting in, I can no longer fight)
When will this end?
Accelerate, dislocate
(Set to crash and burn, haven't got time to waste)
Not planning to return
Aggravate, agitate
(When will I ever learn?)
There's no way out of here, nowhere to turn
Obsessive yearning
Compulsive burning
Still never learning
Insane random thoughts of neat disorder
Scattered wasteland surrounding me
Tattered memories of what used to be
Apocalyptic mind debris
Until we meet again
[CHORUS]

Traveling through both space and time
(Out of body, out of mind)
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
(I can't let up, I can't let go)
Can't stop this flame from burning
Can't stop the wheels from turning
Traveling through both space and time
(You get yours and I got mine)
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
(I can't let up, I can't let go)
Forever more into the night, blistering

Amazing.

Supernatural travelling, maybe.

Haha! IT'S INSANE! :D

This song is both written by and is surely about Mike Portnoy and how he is constantly in motion, constantly thinking about the next project, the next goal.<p><b><i>Edited by YtseJam on April 28 2007, at 09:47AM</i></b></p>

Great instrumental section. The verses are kinda meh...

What YtseJam said. Along similar lines, it might be about his (Mike Portnoy's) obsessive compulsive disorder.

I love this song.

Very Metallica-esque, along with The Glass Prison.

BTW guys, did you hear that The Dark Eternal Night leaked?

Cover art for Constant Motion lyrics by Dream Theater

Yeah, I heard.

You lie. There is no leak. :(

Three possible things behind the song meaning:

  1. Like Ytse said, possibly about all of his projects and stuff
  2. His OCD (I think it's this one)
  3. Bipolar Disorder (the lyrics fit very well)
