Dream Theater - About to Crash + Lyrics video free download
She can't stop pacing
She never felt so alive
Her thoughts are racing
Set on overdrive
It takes a village
This she knows is true
they're expecting her
And she's got work to do
He helplessly stands by
It's meaningless to try
As he rubs his red-rimmed eyes
He says I've never seen her get this bad
Even though she seems so high
He knows that she can't fly
and when she falls out of the sky
He'll be standing by
She was raised in a small midwestern town
By a charming and eccentric loving father
She was praised as the perfect teenage girl
And everyone thought highly of her
And she tried everyday
With endless drive
To make the grade
Then one day
She woke up to find
The perfect girl
Had lost her mind
Once barely taking a break
Now she sleeps the days away
She helplessly stands by
It's meaningless to try
All she wants to do is cry
No one ever knew she was so sad
Cause even though she gets so high
And thinks that she can fly
She will fall out of the sky
But in the face of misery
She found hopefulness
Feeling better
She had weathered
This depression
Much to her advantage
She resumed her frantic pace
Boundless power
Midnight hour
She enjoyed the race

Love how symbolic the outro is. Sounds like it hits rock bottom at 4:50 by going to half time then it picks itself back up again. Nicely done. Great band. 10 years ago

This might sound strange, but all the characters in DT songs to me are always Canadian. Anybody else?11 years ago

*Excelsior*Good morning. Yesterday, I watched *Silver Linings Playbook* which brought *Jennifer Lawrence* an oscar this year. The leading male character is suffering bipolar disorder in the movie and the leading female character is diagnosed with another mental breakdown. It was a great movie. I really admired Jennifer Lawrence's performance and her different kind of beauty and Robert De Niro's performance (as always). I'd recommend if you haven't seen it yet.As soon as I learnt that male character suffers bipolar disorder, I remembered Dream Theater's *Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence* album. In the song with same name which last 42 minutes (takes up second disc entirely but divided into 6 parts/songs), they also talk about this mental illness in the part/song named as *About To Crash*. That was when I learned about mental disorders such as bipolar disorder and autism. The six parts (you can call them as separate songs if you like) points six different mental disorders. I also suggest you to listen to this great album.Since *About To Crash* is about bipolar disorder hence linked with that great movie, I feel like sharing it as a good morning song11 years ago
