This song obviously talks about Carpe Diem, and that you need to just push on forwards. The relation to Octavarium, is that the song Octavarium talks about the troubles in life that prevent people from seizing the day, how they eventually pass on with out ever truly living. Getting traped inside an Octavarium.
To me, Octavarium is the other side to this story. The dark side for the majority of people who never learn carpe diem. Both songs are absolutely fantastic musical masterpieces and really nail down pure emotions in music. The lyrics are powerful enough to change lives. The instrumentals are beautiful enough to sing the song without words. Dream Theater is outstanding.
My favorite song however is an even longer epic, Six Degrees of inner Turbulence. When no amount of Cannibal corpse, slipknot, slayer, devil driver, metallica, or any other brutally angry music can capture my feelings, this is the song i play. Forty two minutes later i am refreshed and ready to battle my way through another day. Check it out.
