Their best material can be found on their later albums "Wings of Time (1999), "Dreamland" (2001) and "Hidden Place" (2003). All three feature excellent melodic progressive-metal, great musicianship, walls of keyboards and some powerful and catchy vocals from Titta Tani. It is still too early to comment on their latest cd "Misplaced" (2004), as it had just been released at the time this bio was written.
Aggressive, melodic and progressive, DGM is a fun progressive-metal band with a pleasant neo-classical flavor. Their material will certainly appeal to fans of Dream Theater, Symphony X and Vanden Plas.
Away
DGM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have you search for someone?
Have you got just one day
With no wasted promises?
Can you live without them?
I don't pretend to be
Feelings that money can buy
This is not what I need
A land still far from abuses
I can't believe in something more
A breakaway just one day
I know this is my own way
You call yourself a winner
You're only a social climber
I won't waste my time again
With your dirty money
Away from here
I'll give it up just one day
From a burning fire
I'll be back one more day
A man still far from abuses
I can't believe in something more
A breakaway just one day
And let the music find the way
The lyrics to DGM's "Away" seem to be a reflection on the importance of authenticity and living a life with meaningful connections. The first stanza asks if the listener has found someone without any shallow promises or if they can live without such individuals. The second stanza rejects the idea of building a life solely on material possessions, stating that it's not what the singer needs. The chorus declares that the singer is searching for something else, far from lies and deceit, and that they will get away from it all for one day.
The third stanza calls out those who are only interested in social climbing and emphasizes that the singer won't waste their time with dirty money. The song concludes with the message that the singer doesn't believe in more than what they are already doing - a breakaway for just one day, letting music guide the way.
Overall, "Away" seems to encourage listeners to let go of toxic relationships and materialistic values in search of authenticity and meaning. The lyrics are powerful and thought-provoking, and the accompanying music provides an energetic backdrop that supports the message.
