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.
Chaos
DGM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got to get out of here
It's my destiny (to) appear and not to be
I'm not done
I can be the only one who trust
I'm not afraid
If no one else believe in this time I want
To bring it down to the limit
Feel the wave and move on
Losing control just to be myself
Dark side that I'm crawling into
(My) chaos has born
I need to make it true
The deepest regret is pushing my headache
To a never ending blast
My wounds to relieve with a fury released
I'm not done
If I will be the only one, I'm not afraid
If you deceive me I will rise
These feelings are suffocated
Scream loud and move on, yeah
Losing control just to be myself
Dark side that I'm crawling into
(My) chaos has born
I need to make it true
One day I'll be free
One day I'll try to spit out
This foolish self-control
My mind will fall from ashes reborn
Losing control just to be myself
Dark side that I'm crawling into
(My) chaos has born
I need to make it true
The lyrics to DGM's song "Chaos" examine the theme of breaking free from mental imprisonment and embracing one's individuality, even if it means abandoning societal norms. The opening lines paint a distressing picture of mental confinement and underscore the artist's desperation to be free. He wants to break free, to manifest and not become another passive statistic. The artist also acknowledges that this may be a lonely journey, as he proclaims that he is the only one he trusts. There is a battle cry that encourages the artist to push forward even when no one else believes in them.
The chorus of the song describes an unbridled desire for the unknown, to achieve some undefined goal, to push oneself to the brink and beyond. The phrase, "Losing control just to be myself" implies that the artist is willing to lose control and embody his wild, untamed self without inhibition. The artist also acknowledges the darker side of this personal journey, referring to it as a "dark side that I'm crawling into." Despite this ominous declaration, the artist is committed to seeing his mission through to the end, as evidenced by his repeated declaration that he is not done yet.
In the second half of the song, the artist acknowledges that there will be obstacles to overcome, citing "the deepest regret is pushing my headache to a never-ending blast." Again, though, he ultimately refuses to be deterred, pledging to rise if anyone deceives him. The lyrics of "Chaos" conclude on a somewhat hopeful note, stating that, despite the struggles, the artist will someday be free and will no longer be confined by self-imposed limitations.
