The Bigger Picture Lyrics

Cover art for The Bigger Picture lyrics by Dream Theater

I get the impression that its about someone who's committing suicide. Not a specific person, but it's speaking out to the listeners and readers as the signs and description, signs, and actions that a person without hope and guidance in their life anymore is looking for a light, a hand, the help they need desperately but aren't receiving.

As it goes farther down the song it's like you're missing the signs, and as they mentally get worst, and can't contain themselves, he eventually does kill himself.
