Take the Time (2007 Remix) Lyrics


Hold it now, wait a minute
Come on, just let me catch my breath
Ive heard the promises, Ive seen the mistakes
Ive had my fair share of tough breaksI need a new voice, new law, new way
Take the time, reevaluate
Its time to pick up the pieces, go back to square one
I think its time for a changeThere is something that I feel
To be something that is real
I feel the heat within my mind
And craft new changes with my eyesGiving freely, wandering promises
A place with decisions, I'll fashion
I won't waste another breathYou can feel the waves coming on
(It's time to take the time)
Let them destroy you or carry you on
(It's time to take the time)You're fighting the weight of the world
But no one can save you this time
Close your eyes
You can find all you need in your mindUnbroken spirit, obscured and disquiet

Finds clearness this trial demands
And at the end of this day sighs an anxious relief
For the fortune lies still in his handsIf there's a pensive fear, a wasted year
A man must learn to cope
If his obsession's real
Suppression that he feels must turn to hopeLife is no more assuring than love
(It's time to take the time)
There are no answers from voices above
(It's time to take the time)You're fighting the weight of the world
And no one can save you this time
Close your eyes
You can find all you need in your mindI close my eyes
And feel the water rise around me
Drown the beat of time
Let my senses fall away
I can see much clearer now, I'm blind
(Ora che ho perso la vista, ci vedo di piu)You can feel the waves coming on
(It's time to take the time)
Let them destroy you or carry you on
(It's time to take the time)You're fighting the weight of the world
But no one can save you this time
Close your eyes
You can find all you need in your mind, oo hoo yeahFind all you need in your mind
If you take the time
Find all you need in your mind
If you take the time

Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts, before they dropped out to support the band. Though a number of lineup changes followed, including Portnoy's departure in 2010, Petrucci and Myung remain today along with James LaBrie, Jordan Rudess and Mike Mangini.

The band has had moderate mainstream success, notably with Pull Me Under in the early 1990s, which received extensive MTV rotation. Dream Theater's (commonly abbreviated 'DT') three highest selling albums are the gold selling Images and Words (1992), despite it reaching only #61 on the Billboard 200 charts, and Awake (1994) which reached #32 on the Billboard 200. Systematic Chaos entered US Billboard 200 at #19. Recently Black Clouds and Silver Linings reached #6 on the Billboard 200 Charts. Dream Theater has sold over two million albums in the U.S., and over 8 million albums and DVDs worldwide.

In January of 2005, the band obtained their first United States platinum disc (representing 100 000 DVDs sold) with Live At Budokan, recorded April 2004 in Tokyo, Japan.

The band released an album entitled Systematic Chaos, their ninth studio album, in collaboration with their new label Roadrunner Records. The album is available in two formats, first one being just a regular edition CD and the other being a CD/DVD album with the entire album mixed in 5.1 surround sound and also "Chaos in Progress - The Making of Systematic Chaos" (a 90-minute documentary directed by Mike Portnoy).

The band is well-known for the technical proficiency of each instrumentalist, winning many awards from music magazines. They are highly respected by many of rock and metal's biggest names, leading to collaborations between Dream Theater members and many other well known musicians. In a famous example, guitarist John Petrucci was named as the third player on the G3 tour with Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, following in the foot steps of Eric Johnson, Robert Fripp, and Yngwie Malmsteen.

Dream Theater is also noted for their musical versatility and the many different genres their music incorporates, which has made it possible for them to perform with a very diverse range of acts. Some of their more notable touring partners include Deep Purple, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Iron Maiden, Joe Satriani, King's X, Marillion, Megadeth, In Flames, Pain of Salvation, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Queensrÿche, Spock's Beard, Fear Factory, Enchant, Symphony X, Yes, Big Wreck, I Mother Earth and Fates Warning.

It may also be noted that Dream Theater's previous name was Majesty, after the band listened to the song Bastille Day by Rush and described it as being majestic. However, this name was short-lived as another band were performing and recording under the same name. So, they re-named themselves Dream Theater after a small cinema which was close to where drummer Mike Portnoy's father was living at the time. The name Majesty is the source of the band's "M" logo appearing on the cover artwork of several albums. The Dream Theater song entitled "Ytse Jam" is "Majesty" backwards and "Ytse Jam" is also the name of Mike Portnoy's record label.
