Pull Me Under
Dream Theater Lyrics

Lost in the sky
I am feeling lost and directionless, like I am floating in the vast expanse of the sky.

Clouds roll by and I roll with them
I feel like I am going nowhere, like a cloud rolling aimlessly in the sky.

Arrows fly
The world is moving fast, with people doing things and achieving success at a rapid pace.

Seas increase and then fall again
The highs and lows of life - sometimes I am on top, but other times I am down in the dumps.

This world is spinning around me
I am the centre of my universe, and everything that happens seems to be revolving around me.

This world is spinning without me and
Despite feeling that everything revolves around me, I am aware that life goes on even when I am not present.

Every day sends future to past
Time flies by, and every new day brings me closer to the end of my life.

Every breath leaves me one less to my last
Every breath I take brings me closer to death, and there is nothing I can do to stop it.

Watch the sparrow falling
Seeing a small creature like a sparrow plummet to the ground is a reminder of the fragility of life.

Gives new meaning to it all
The sight of an animal dying brings a fresh perspective to my life and the world around me.

If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day
Death is inevitable, but it may not happen today or tomorrow - but one day it will, and I must accept that.

I'll take seven lives for one
I would be willing to sacrifice many lives for the sake of my own - I value my existence above all else.

And then my only father's son
I am my father's only son, and I am determined to make him proud.

As sure as I did ever love him I am not afraid
I love my father very much, and that love gives me the courage to face anything without fear.

The whole world keeps spinning around me
Despite knowing that life goes on without me, I still have the feeling that everything revolves around me.

All life is future to past
Every living thing is born and then dies, and there is no escaping this cycle.

Pull me under
I am asking for something to take me away from my current predicament, to pull me under and start afresh.

Living my life too much in the sun
I have lived my life in the spotlight, in the glare of public attention, and it has taken a toll on me.

Only until your will is done
My life is not entirely my own - I am here to serve a purpose or a higher power, and I must do so until my time comes.

Dust fills my eyes
I am blinded by my experiences in life, and I cannot always see clearly.

Centuries cry
The weight of the ages is bearing down on me, and I can feel its impact on my life.

Orders fly and I fall again
The chaos of the world around me continues to take its toll, and I find myself again falling down.

The whole world is spinning inside me
I can feel the turmoil and confusion inside me, and it feels like the world is spinning out of control.

Every step brings me closer to my last
With every step I take, I am getting closer to my eventual demise.

All that I feel is honor and spite
I am filled with a sense of pride and stubbornness that keeps me moving forward.

All I can do is to set it right
Despite the challenges I face, I am determined to make things right and find my way in the world.
