You haven't ever actually listened to the lyrics, have you?

The lyrics are super-pretentious and bad, and the vocals are pretty freaking grating. Some of the music is actually pretty good, but a lot of it goes nowhere fast.

I tune out the vocals meself. The lyrics are alright, although I hate when Petrucci tries to write them.

Tunnel vision at blinding speed
Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me
Void of any uncertainty
Throughout my very soul

Lost illusions of mind control
Resisting all hope of letting go
Racing impulse of dark desire
Drives me through the night

I try to shut it down
It leaves me in the dust
No matter what I've found
I can never get enough

Frantic actions of insanity
Impulsive laced profanity
Long for elusive serentiy
Way out of my control

Traveling through both space and time
Out of body
Out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
I can't let up
I can't let go
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more
Into the night
Blistering

Focus here, focus there
Cannot see the light
Falling down through the night
Sprawling everywhere

Searching left, searching right
Panic setting in
I can no longer fight
When will this end?

Accelerate, dislocate
Set to crash and burn
Haven't got time to waste
Not planning to return

Aggravate, Agitate
When will I ever learn?
There's no way out of here
Nowhere to turn

Obsessive yearning
Compulsive burning
Still never learning
Insane random thoughts
of neat disorder

Scattered wasteland surrounding me
Tattered memories of what used ot be
Apocalyptic mind debris
Until we meet again

Traveling through both space and time
Out of body
Out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
I can't let up
I cant' let go
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more
Into the night
Blistering

Treveling through both space and time
Out of body
Out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
I can't let up
I can't let go
Cant' stop this flame from burning
Cant' stop the wheels from turning

Traveling through both space and time
You get yours
And I got mine
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
I can't let up
I can't let go
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more
Into the night
Blistering




Yeah so what is traveling space and time if not Sci-Fi?

Yeah I know its a super deep metaphor for poverty and world peace right? He still talks about traveling through space, that's sci-fi.

I'll openly admit that the lyrics are pointless ****, but they're is only one line that could be considered sci-fi.

you know we all travel through space and time all the time right? it's not exactly a fiction. these lyrics appear to be, like almost all of their other lyrics, about internal turmoil.

but look, lyrics like this really bother me:

Obsessive yearning
Compulsive burning
Still never learning
Insane random thoughts
of neat disorder

I mean... they're so formulaic and uninteresting it burns.

If the lyrics are pointless shit then why did you say they weren't actually talking about space travel?
