Dream Theater Act I - Scene Two: I. Overture 1928 & Strange Deja Vu Lyrics

1.- Overture 1928: Instrumental

Subconscious strange sensation
Unconscious relaxation
What a pleasant nightmare
And I cant wait to get there again

Every time I close my eyes
Theres another vivid surprise
Another whole lifes waiting
Chapters unfinished, fading

Closer now- slowly coming into view
Ive arrived- vlinding sunshine beaming through

Theres a house Im drawn to
Familiar settings nothing new
Theres a pathway leading there
With a haunting chill in the air

Theres a room at the top of the stairs
Every night Im drawn up there
Theres a girl in the mirror
Her face is getting clearer
Young child wont you tell me why Im here?

In her eyes- I sense a story never told
Behind the disguise- theres something tearing
At her soul

Victoria:
Tonight Ive been searching for it
A feeling thats deep inside me
Tonight Ive been searching for
The one that nobody knows
Trying to break free

I just cant help myself
Im feeling like Im going out of my head
Tears my heart into two
Im not the one the sleeper thought he knew

Nicholas:
Back on my feet again
Eyes open to the real world
Metropolis surrounds me
The mirrors shattered the girl

Why is this other life
Haunting me every day
Id break through to the other side
If only Id find the way

Somethings awfully familiar
The feelings so hard to shake
Could I have lived in that other world
Its a link that Im destined to make

Im still searching but I dont know what for
The missing key to unlock my minds door

Today I am searching for it
A feeling that wont go away
Today I am searching for it
The only one I know
Trying to break free

I just cant help myself
Im feeling like Im going out of my head
Tears my heart into two
Im not the one I thought I always knew

I just cant help myself
Im feeling like Im going out of my head
Uncanny, strange deja vu
But I dont mind- I hope to find the truth
