Dream Theater es una banda estadounidense de metal progresivo formada en 1985. El grupo fue fundado por el guitarrista John Petrucci, el bajista John Myung y el baterista Mike Portnoy mientras asistían al prestigioso Berklee College of Music en Boston. Originalmente, la banda se llamó Majesty, pero después de descubrir que otro grupo ya utilizaba ese nombre, optaron por Dream Theater, inspirándose en un antiguo cine de California.
En 1989, Dream Theater lanzó su primer álbum de estudio, When Dream and Day Unite, bajo la discográfica Mechanic Records. Este trabajo estableció las bases de su sonido característico, que combina complejas estructuras musicales, virtuosismo técnico y la rica interacción entre sus miembros. Sin embargo, la recepción fue modesta y la banda no logró obtener el reconocimiento inmediato que esperaban.
En 1991, la banda experimentó un cambio significativo con la llegada del vocalista James LaBrie, proveniente de Canadá. Este cambio resultó ser clave para su éxito. Un año después, lanzaron Images and Words, su segundo álbum, que incluía el sencillo Pull Me Under. Este tema les dio un impulso inesperado, recibiendo amplias rotaciones en la radio y MTV, lo que llevó al álbum a alcanzar el oro en ventas.
En 1994, Dream Theater lanzó Awake, un álbum más oscuro y pesado que consolidó su estatus en el mundo del metal progresivo. Canciones como Lie y Space-Dye Vest demostraron su capacidad

"6:00" lyrics Dream Theater Lyrics "6:00"
[Samples from the film "The Dead", an adaptation of James Joyce's short story from his book:]
"Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..."
"Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..."
"Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..."
"Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..."
"And for what?"
"Well, isn't it for the honor of God, Aunt Kate?"
"I know all about the honor of God, Mary Jane."
Six o'clock the siren kicks him from a dream
Tries to shake it off but it just won't stop
Can't find the strength but he's got promises to keep
And wood to chop before he sleeps
I may never get over
But never's better than now
I've got bases to cover
He's in the parking lot and he's just sitting in his car
It's nine o'clock but he can't get out
He lights a cigarette and turns the music down
But he just can't seem to shake that sound
Once I thought I'd get over
But it's too late for me now
I've got bases to cover
Melody walks through the door
And memory flies out the window
And nobody knows what they want
'Til they finally let it all go
The pain inside coming outside
The pain inside coming outside
The pain inside coming outside
The pain inside
Come outside
So many ways to drown a man
So many ways to drag him down
Some are fast and some take years and years
You can't hear what he's saying when he's talking in his sleep
He finally found the sound but he's in too deep
I could never get over
Is it too late for me now?
Feel like blowing my cover
Melody walks through the door
And memory flies out the window
And nobody knows what they want
'Til they finally let it all go
But don't cut your losses too soon
Cause you'll only be cutting your throat
And answer a call while you still hear at all
Cause nobody will if you won't
