This song has nothing to do with religion. Its about the struggles of life and depression. Finding happiness isnt easy for everyone, so we grind on hoping for better days.
In February I went through a pretty messy breakup I was lost and confused just wanting to end it all dream theater helped me change that even tho these ballads were killing me on the inside
watching 'far from heaven' for the first time was very difficult--am glad times have canged--but would be nice if they continue to change for the better--let us all get along--
What I get out of it is people always wanting things from you and no matter what you do they expect more you have people always willing to help then takers sometimes you do t have to many choices at the time so I understand what happened to Tilikum is he was stolen and shipped from place to place and made to do things when once he use to be free with his family now one is pulling his chain its like being in a family and it seems as if your doing all the hard work with no where else to go and others telling you this and that I understand it its like wanting to be free yet your bound
Parts of it are in Breaking all illusions :) In the same way that Learning to Live has nuggets of Wait for Sleep. Listen to 2:35 in this song, and then the ending of breaking all illusions.
I love James' vocal performance on this track. Always brings a tear to my eye.
me too
My wife of 16 years just passed away on August 3rd. And this song really describes how I feel right now. Been a dream theater fan since 1992.
