Over the course of various lineup changes, Petrucci and Myung have been the only two constant members, and Portnoy remained with the band until 2010, when he left to pursue other musical endeavors and he has since been replaced by Mangini. After a brief stint with Chris Collins, followed by Charlie Dominici (who was dismissed from Dream Theater not long after the release of their first album), LaBrie was hired as the band's singer in 1991. Dream Theater's first keyboardist, Kevin Moore, left the band after three albums and was replaced by Derek Sherinian in 1995 after a period of touring. After just one album with Sherinian, they replaced him with current keyboardist Jordan Rudess in 1999.
To date, Dream Theater has released fifteen studio albums. The band's highest-selling release is their second album Images and Words (1992), which reached No. 61 on the Billboard 200 chart. Both the albums Awake (1994) and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (2002) also entered the charts at No. 32 and No. 46, respectively, and received critical acclaim. Their fifth album, Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory (1999), was ranked number 95 on the October 2006 issue of Guitar World magazine's list of the greatest 100 guitar albums of all time. It was also ranked as the 15th Greatest Concept Album in March 2003 by Classic Rock Magazine.
As of 2018, Dream Theater has sold over 12 million records worldwide and has received three Grammy Award nominations (including one win in 2022). Along with Queensrÿche and Fates Warning, the band has been referred to as one of the "big three" of the progressive metal genre, responsible for its development and popularization.

I Walk Beside You
Dream Theater Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see the hurt behind your smile
For every sign I recognize
Another one escapes me
Let me know what plagues your mind
Let me be the one to know you best
Be the one to hold you up
Tell me once again
What's beneath the pain you're feeling
Don't abandon me
Or think you can't be saved
I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you
Summon up your ghost for me
Rest your tired thoughts upon my hands
Step inside this sacred place
When all your dreams seem broken
Resonate inside this temple
Let me be the one who understands
Be the one to carry you
When you can walk no further
Tell me once again
What's below the surface bleeding
If you've lost your way
I will take you in
I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you
Oh, when everything is wrong
Oh, when hopelessness surrounds you
Oh, the sun will rise again
The time you swim against will carry you back home
So don't give up
Don't give in
I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you
The song "I Walk Beside You" by Dream Theater is a comforting message of support for people who are going through a difficult time. The lyrics express the singer's empathy towards someone who is suffering and the desire to be there for them, to understand what they are going through and to offer comfort and support. The chorus repeats the message that the singer will stand by the person's side, no matter what, even when everything seems to be going wrong.
The verses of the song describe the singer's attempts to understand the other person's pain, to connect with them on a deeper level and to offer a listening ear without judgment. He encourages the person to share their emotions with him, to let him know what's bothering them, and he assures them that he will not abandon them. The lyrics evoke a strong sense of compassion towards those who feel lost, alone, and overwhelmed by their circumstances.
The bridge of the song provides a message of hope, reminding the listener that no matter how bleak things seem, there is always a chance for redemption and healing. The metaphor of swimming against the tide and being carried back home by the currents is a powerful image of resilience and strength. The song ends with a reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the singer's commitment to stand by the person's side through thick and thin.
