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.
Hereafter
DGM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Outside a dream
Through the abyss of time
Close to the flames
We are burning desires
Edge of a universe
Coz' everywhere there's a chance to win
Hereafter we will stand
As a flight of an angel
In the eyes of a stranger
We'll bring back every soul
The land of devotion
This time will be more then words
We're gone with the sin
We are burning desires
Flames in our souls
We have the devil's eyes
But we look like the angels
Shaken by the faith into the instinct
Losing faith
Desecrating trust
And breaking truth
Into this place we can spread our feelings
Free to say no! Free to believe in ourselves
A time with no more words
The song "Hereafter" by DGM is a reflection of the human experience, and the emotion and passion that goes along with that journey. The lyrics paint a picture of a world that is at once both vast and intimate. The song depicts a journey through time and space, through the abyss of existence, always close to the fire of our desires. The chorus speaks to the idea that in the "Hereafter" we will stand as a flight of angels, bringing back every soul and creating a land of devotion that is more than just words.
The second half of the song carries a more intense and urgent tone, speaking to the struggle of being human: losing faith, desecrating trust and breaking truth. The lyrics encourage the listener to take charge of their own journey, to allow themselves to feel and believe freely. The song comes to a close with the idea that ultimately, there will be a time with no more words – a nod to the idea that the human experience is fleeting, but the emotions and passions we feel in life will live on.
Line by Line Meaning
Outside a dream
Beyond the realm of imagination
Through the abyss of time
Traveling through an endless void of time
Close to the flames
Near the intense heat of passions
We are burning desires
Our deepest desires are consuming us
Edge of a universe
On the brink of a vast and unknown universe
No time to lose
No opportunity to waste
Coz' everywhere there's a chance to win
Because there are opportunities to succeed all around us
Hereafter we will stand
We will overcome and persist
As a flight of an angel
Graceful and resilient like an angel's flight
In the eyes of a stranger
Our actions will be judged by those unknown to us
We'll bring back every soul
We will inspire and uplift everyone
The land of devotion
A place of commitment and loyalty
This time will be more than words
Our present is worth more than mere expressions
We're gone with the sin
We are burdened by our sins and faults
Flames in our souls
The intensity of our passions cannot be quenched
We have the devil's eyes
We possess the darkness and evil of the devil
But we look like the angels
Despite it all, we present ourselves in a noble manner
Shaken by the faith into the instinct
Our beliefs and convictions influence our actions
Losing faith
We are becoming discouraged
Desecrating trust
We are betraying the trust of others
And breaking truth
We are ignoring or denying the reality of a situation
Into this place we can spread our feelings
We can express ourselves freely in this environment
Free to say no! Free to believe in ourselves
We have the freedom to reject what is wrong and embrace our own beliefs
A time with no more words
A moment where actions speak louder than words
