LIE
Hablar de Dream Theater es hacerlo de una banda no apta para todos los públicos, como en general sucede con el metal progresivo del que ellos son el máximo exponente, siempre compleja, su música requiere tiempo y dedicación para extraer todo el jugo, es de esos grupos que hay que escuchar, no poner de fondo. En 1994, su disco "awake" nacía con la presión de suceder al antológico "Images and words" de 1992, y para ello la banda solo emplearía un par de meses en su concepción tras la extensa gira mundial del citado antecedente compositivo, sería además, el último disco de estudio con Moore a los teclados antes de la llegada de Sherinian, una obra de la que dejo hoy en el blog otra de sus canciones, "Lie", todo un clásico de la banda del que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Daybreak at the bottom of the lake,
it's a hundred degrees, I can't breathe.
I won't get out 'til I figure it out
though I'm weak like I can't believe.
So you tell me "trust me",
I can trust you,
just let me show you.
But I gotta work it out
in a shadow of doubt,
because I don't know
if I know you.
Doing fine but don't waste my time,
tell me what it is you want to say.
You sin, you win, just let me in.
Hurry, I've been out in the rain all day.
So you tell me "trust me",
I can trust you as far
as I can throw you.
I'm trying to get
out of a shadow of doubt,
because I don't know
if I know you.
Don't tell me you wanted me,
don't tell me you thought of me.
I won't, I swear I won't!
I'll try, I swear I'll try!
Mother Mary quite contrary,
kiss the boys and make them wary.
Things are getting just
a little bit scary.
it's a wonder I can still breathe!
Never been much of a doubting Thomas,
but nothing breaks like a broken promise.
You tell me about your two more coming,
but once is just enough for me.
Don't tell me you wanted me,
don't tell me you thought of me.
I won't, I swear I won't!
I'll try, I swear I'll try!
I had gotten used to
being a soul destroyed,
she comes in apparently
to fill the void.
All dogs need a leash
and at least I'll forget it.
She would never hurt me
though she's never said it.
But I'm not gonna ask her today,
I don't wanna scare her away.
Your town, I'm all alone,
and I just can't stare
at the phone.
I wanna talk about
lifelong mistakes,
and you can tell your
stepfather I said so.
Don't tell me you wanted me,
don't tell me you thought of me.
I won't, I swear I won't!
I'll try, I swear I'll try!
