Cover art for Take the Time lyrics by Dream Theater

"If there's a pensive fear, a wasted year A man must learn to cope If his obsession's real Suppression that he feels must turn to hope "

Best line.

This song, to me, is about letting go, and not taking it all so serious. Reflecting, and just enjoying it, let the "Waves destroy you" go with the flow is baisically the theme to me.
