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

The water's edge
Is where she waits
Lost souls still wander
Meant to die
But she's stuck not crossing over
The other side
Is where he waits
His spirit reaching out
Meant to save
But she's too scared to take his hand
Living in a world without you
(Drowning in the past)
Is living in no world at all
So now I call on you...
Remember me? I gave you life
You would not take it
Your suffering was all in vain
It's almost over now
Don't turn your back on paradise
Feeling scared, she's prepared
To give up everything
She can't stand to feel
Like half of her is fading
He will choose the only way
To rid her of her pain
Take her soul now
A decision has been made
Living in a world without love
(A burden to my soul)
Is living in a worthless world
So I will call on you...
Remember me? I gave you life
You would not take it
Your suffering was all in vain
It's almost over
Remember me? You were so young
How could I tell you?
Remember me? I am the one
Who saved your life that night
I was the one who would not abandon you
Even in death I was the one who would not leave you
I used my freedom to protect you
And all the while direct you
Do you remember me this time?
Even in death I gave you life
I gave you life!
I wanted to
Deserve a place
A place beside you
This time when I reached out my hand
It reached all the way to heaven
Remember me? I gave you life
You would not take it
Your suffering was all in vain
It's almost over now
Goodbye
It's almost over now
Goodbye
It's time
I release you from this life
Don't turn your back on paradise
