Dream Theater - The Answer Lyrics






[Gabriel:]
I don't pretend to have the answer
Never said I held the key
But somehow they see a light inside of me
Am I not the man who I was meant to be?

As the people gather 'round me
I never felt so all alone
Is this the chance to be someone?
My moment in the sun
Why am I afraid of facing the unknown?

They are finding faith in me and they believe I'm the one to set them free

  14. B.... A....

    why is it too short :(

  15. �.... ....

    Its intro is similar to when your time has come

  16. L.... ....

    The vocal melodies over "moment in the sun" and "facing the unknown" are the exact same (key and everything!) as "when will he break out" and "solitary shell" from Solitary Shell on Six Degrees! :) the themes of both songs are even pretty similar, I love stuff like that

  17. P.... N....

    This song is the hymn for all us special needs teachers. Chapeau.

  18. B.... A....

    i just wish it would be bigger.. this is a top one from this album IMHO

  24. c.... ....

    It's so Disney-esque. Dream theater really nailed the" musical" feel on this album, and this is one of my favorite songs on the album

  25. J.... B....

    Just two words....Dream Theater....nothing more....nothing less

    J.... B....

    Amen bro, well said! :)

  28. F.... F....

    Reminds me of Disney's Alladin

    F.... F....

    fact. actually its because of some chords prog , and melody , its the same intervals

  29. F.... ....

    Disney Theater!

  30. D.... L....

    officially dream theater is now a pure progressive rock band!

  31. F.... S....

    Beneath the Surface anyone?

  34. s.... b....

    This is one of the most beautiful songs from the alb. Could you please add the lyrics? Thank you

  35. D.... D....

    Most of the album sounds like this, which is why it's a major snoozefest! What happened Dream Theater? This album is soo uninspiring. I had high hopes.

    D.... D....

    But it's great! Love it.

  36. S.... H....

    Ugh I would kill for the tabs and chords of this...

    S.... H....

    Im sure you can do a simple google search, no need to kill

    S.... H....

    just learn theory. a couple weeks of study and you can translate any song instead of having to rely on the internet.

  37. L.... R....

    you know nothing Jon Snow.

  38. e.... ....

    Wow...Yes, the Cd IS Astonishing! I LOVE It. After the opening three songs and right after The gift of music is this Gem. I think I hit the rewind button 5 times before moving on. This is simply stunning. Simple yet complex. Brilliant. I've been a fan since 1989 when I first heard WDADU. The CD gets better with every listen. I have my tix for their show in Wallingford Ct. in April and I can't wait to see and hear them perform The Astonishing live! Well done guys!

  39. T.... T....

    It feels like a song Disney would write, but I can't really complain :)

  40. n.... ....

    These two minutes of this little track are one of the best moments on the record! So much is said here yet 2 minutes does not even seem short. This track does what it is meant to do. And its beautiful...

  41. A.... A....

    I've always thought it would be funny to hear James Labrie sing a Disney Princess song, like "Reflection" from Mulan or "For the First Time Forever."  Imagine him singing: "Look at me, I would never pass as a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter, can it be, I wasn't meant to play this part." Or "Don't know if I'm elated or gassy, but I'm somewhere in that zooonnne!"  Or "I wanna stuff some chocolate in my faaaacccee!"

    A.... A....

    +Andrew Austin That's a sign of a good vocalist, not just sounding badass all the time but being able to replicate vocal styles that aren't normally in your discography.

  42. O.... A....

    mas this album turned out to be fucking great!! omg this is fucking awesome!! lyrics and history behind the work are simply beautiful.. man.. this album is really really great! *-*

  43. R.... ....

    Enjoy the great music...

  44. r.... ....

    i really like this one

  45. C.... S....

    Worst song on this album! They should have left it off.

    C.... S....

    +Colonel Sanders No Colonel Sanders you're wrong. (momma's right)

  46. N.... B....

    Beautiful composition, they reached a new level with this album, truly astonishing!

  47. G.... G....

    Is it just me or the snare drum sounds different in this song? Its perfect...

  48. E.... S....

    masterpiece album!!

  49. S.... P....

    Dream Theater at its finest... From most complicated prog metal to most touching ballad.... I wish i have this kind of talent :D

  50. �.... ....

    beautiful melody....

  51. C.... L....

    A Coca Cola commercial for Xmas! So this is metal huh?

    C.... L....

    +Claudio Lucero Not anymore. sad but true. we lost them dude.

    C.... L....

    +Claudio Lucero "Rock opera", if that says metal to you, you should get your eyes checked.

  52. l.... ....

    What is this picture? Assassin Creed?

  53. A.... K....

    Neden 4 dislike atmışlar düşünüyorum ve bir sonuca ulaşamadım...

  54. R.... P....

    Excelente musica.

    So... Lyrics? :S

  62. n.... t....

    The Intro its feel like a "Beneath the surface" don't you think?

    n.... t....

    +nuthapon thanasinsawat Does anyone else hear these lyrics?

    As the people gather ‘round me
    I never felt so all alone
    Is this the chance to be someone?
    and then my only father's son
    as sure as I did ever love him I am not afraiiiid

    n.... t....

    The rythmic of the guitar look like the same.

    n.... t....

    And the exact reason I'm looping it over and over again!

    n.... t....

    A lot of DT's music uses recycled and slightly modified instrumentals, it's crazy how many similarities you can find in the songs spanning all albums. I mean, what do you expect from people who make as much music together, and separately from each other, as these guys do. Such talented musicians!

    n.... t....

    When your time has come

  63. C.... C....

    Beautiful

  64. D.... L....

    the first 30 minutes listening to the new album... are really disappointing... and I'm a die hard fan since SFAM. Acoustic and piano are constant. jazz riffs, crazy key changes, soft melody's. A far way from stuff like the enemy inside, dark eternal night. For some reason though, I can't stop looping this song and chosen. Haven't enjoyed a song this much since Home.

    fast forward a few hours and I'm in love with this album. it's different.... it's a gamble... it's astonishing. Can't spend the rest of my life listening to metal riffs, and shame on you if you expected this album to be the cliche prog metal you've been listening to since pull me under. Dream theaters getting old but their ability to create brand new music leaves me speechless. The astonishing is as good as Rock music gets in 2016.

    D.... L....

    Now that you have digested the album (if you have made an effort to understand it) what is your opinions 4 months later? I ask because at first i felt the same as you. Now its probably my top 1 or 2 favorite albums in history. Just look a little time to get used to it :)

    D.... L....

    @jake alexander I like it more now especially ravenscore and the path that divides

    D.... L....

    @Dave Lospinoso Great songs Especially PTD.

    D.... L....

    Beautifully said. People keep calling themselves fans, but refuse to support the band with their experimentation. Sad reception.

    D.... L....

    "Shame on you if you don't have the same opinion as mine" Lol. Sure. So everyone that dislikes the Astonishing is a fan of Metal riffs who's closed-minded? I've been listening to many genres of music for many years. Last year I went to see DT on their Images And Words tour just after a... Sum 41 concert. I can put you the most popish playlist ever and I ENJOY it.

    However I didn't enjoy The Astonishing because of the way it is built and its boring linearity [IN MY OPINION]. Many think the same way. Just chill out. This is a great song, DT is great. Not everyone has to agree with you.

  65. D.... V....

    So beautiful!!

  66. I.... M....

    linda música!

  67. S.... T....

    excellent!!!

  68. I.... ....

    I can only assume it lies within? ;)

    I.... ....

    +ImperialSunlight there are so many responses to this comment that it would take me a whole Dark Eternal Night to read them all...

    I.... ....

    +Vaughn Stacey (Axel) OMG LOL JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

    I.... ....

    Nice!!!

    I.... ....

    @John Adams everything is never enough.

    I.... ....

    @John Adams dont disappear. Just look in the mirror.

  69. l.... ....

    I love DT!

  70. I.... ....

    Very nice acoustic sound. Must be those nice Taylor acoustics :)
