I think there are two possible responses to dream theatre. I LOVE IT... ITS AMAZING.... or.... why does it go for so long... its really weird, dont you think?
either you can appreciate the absolute mastery of instrument technique or you just find it mundane... no one can be convinced to like dream theater i think. and if they can be "convinced" its probably that they think its some kind of "cool alternative scene"... its not... its just ugly people who are amazing mucians. thats whats great about DT fans, because the kind of person who likes DT is generally musically profficient or at least appreciative, they dont care much for the appearance..
As for the meaning of the song.... Read above mentioned points ^^^ :D
oh and a little side note, if someone asks you what progressive/progmetal music is, the idea is that it leaves out no possibility in its range of sounds... 6 string basses, 7 string guitars, 100+ piece drum kits and vocals ranging from a heavy rock screaming to soft vocals, to spoken word to gospel singers, its nothing but amazing IMHO
