Dream Theater - This Is The Life Lyrics
In the heart of your most solemn barren night
When your soul's turned inside out
Have you questioned all the madness you invite
What your life is all about
Some can get caught in the maze
And lose their way home
This is the life we belong to
Our gift divine
Have you ever wished that you were someone else
Traded places in your mind
It's only a waste of your time
Some of us choose to live gracefully
And lose their way home
This is the life we belong to
Our gift divine
Feed the illusion you dream about
Cast out the monsters inside
Life begins with an empty slate
Fragile left in the hands of fate
Driven by love and crushed by hate
Until the day
The gift is gone
And shadows remain
Some of us choose to live gracefully
Some can get caught in the maze
And lose their way home
Memories will fade
Time races on
What will they say
After you're gone
This is the life we belong to
Our gift divine
Our gift divine

Dream Theater This Is The Life Comments
i love dream dt 💓
Ahh. Continuity.
This is the life
... What will they say after you're gone? ...
JP This solo perfect omg
This is just so fucking good.... This band is just so perfect............
I don't know how people can hate on Mangini... his drumming is sublime on this album and on this song in particular DT really hits a different spot
thinking about the girl you wanna date :)
This is the BEST chill song EVER!!!
thinking about the girl that she jerked you... :'(
Such a boring song.. My electribe can do it. Where is the Dream theater that I used to know? where are the changes in rythm, the melodic solos that jumped to the next octave?
Petrucci lost it with the tone ... he should get back the Ibanez ...
Thx for this greet track..keep moving
2019 and still love this song 👍
Thanks "TheJochemvanberkel" 💖♪ ♫ 🎸🎷 🎻🎹🎺🌺🎧🎼🎩🎩🎩
This song will be played when I press play button...
A ballad song, odd time signatures, great solo, just a perfection. Nothing else matters.
Lovely song.
If Eye Speak.. Who'd Listen
recuerdo cuando esta cancion empezo a sonar en el luna park!
very beautiful!!!!
How did I miss this band I was young I had problems.
Que música meus amigos!!!!
Do peepa go back on. Read
Who listening October 2018?
Nobody cares when you are listening that :)
Er Rot!
Banda opressora.
this song is amazing..
I really don't understand mangini's era hate, this album is just great
agree completely
Douchebag Portnoy fans that cant accept Mangini's level and ability when they thought Portnoy was untouchable.
@Mike Beaston, I like both Portnoy and Mangini, I really do. Both are fantastic drummers. They're both named MIKE for Christ's sake. But I have to agree, Mangini IS the better drummer and he fits the prog elements better than Portnoy did. If anyone says he's a robot, Portnoy might as well be a robot, too. Both have incredible ability, but Mangini reminds me more of Bill Bruford (one of my favorite drummers), and because of that, I find myself listening to more of the Mangini era music than the Portnoy era. I have no hate against both at all, but it comes to a point to where Mangini has been more influential as a drummer like myself. He's obviously waaaay ahead of the drumming game and absolutely nails it all. Whoever says he sucks knows absolutely nothing about drumming, or is completely biased. It's also nothing new for prog bands to switch band members. King Crimson has been through a lot of people and is still a great band. I saw DT live in March, and I have seen the Portnoy shows in person too.. People may disagree with me when I say this, but I think Mangini is way funner to watch live. He just does shit with one hand that no drummer can do with two hands. He has much more prog rock in his head and seems to have a better grasp of playing the older songs than Portnoy did. As I mentioned, I love them both, but Portnoy would fuck up the drum lines a lot. His double bass was also way off in comparison since he gets distracted with his drum stick trickery. I'd rather see efficiency over tricks, if you get what I mean. It comes to a point to where it's much more about the musical efficiency over fancy drum stick twirling. I found that rather annoying. I just wanted to hear the fucking music. Portnoy was better in the studio, while Mangini just nails it all without having to throw the drum sticks in the air.

UNDERRATED
Wife and I danced to this at our wedding. Perfect.
Congratulations
Huh? A wedding dance in 5/8? I'm a huge DT fan but come ooonnnnnn...
Soyboy lvl cringe bro
More emotional and danceable than anything else.
Really?
Such a great song
Esta canción ayuda a mi corazón roto, de la misma manera que la de another day previnio que me suicidase en su día... gracias por tanto, dream theater. Siempre os tendré conmigo
This is the life
Alberto trujillo sanz
Enserio te ibas a suicidar??
i love this song, great songs
Best DT Song...! Out of Question *
Thanks
John did a great job breaking the complicated solo down and making every note count and pour emotion into the song with every note. It feels like what David Gilmour would do if his style was very shred.
This song will be played when my daughter will born
jose sanchis muñoz so she allready born?
Felicidades por tu hija, cuídala bien
One of the most beautiful composition by DT ruined by a bad sound mastering.
( Labrie's voice from 1:19 :/ )
Man... this was in purpose. Eehh
This has got to be one of their most underrated songs! So beautiful.

One of my favourite DT solos ever!
