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.
The Other Side
DGM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who wants that you become blind?
Stop the insane business
Take a break and change your mind
Downstair they are workin'
All the days spent without hope
They are screamin' and cryin'
Oooh...oooh... they don't seems from...outside
Oooh...oooh... they don't seems from...outside
Why do you wanna lose your freedom?
Who wants to become blind?
Stop all this sense of nothing
Take and master and change your life
Don't stop the fancy
And your dreams to fly free, without chains
You need to have a wildness
Leave it so, go out of mind
Oooh...oooh...you have to look the other side
Oooh...to change the other side
Oooh...oooh...you have to look the other side
Oooh...to change the other side
In DGM's song, "The Other Side," the lyrics speak to those who feel stuck in a cycle of unfulfilling work and the pressure to conform to society's expectations. The repeated question "Who says that you must be a worker?" challenges the idea that one's worth is tied to their job and calls for individuals to break free from that mindset. The lines "Downstairs they are working / All the days spent without hope" paint a picture of a monotonous and joyless existence, while the repetition of "Oooh...oooh... they don't seem from...outside" suggests that this despair is not immediately visible to the outside world.
