"Someone Like Him"

The first movement of the title track off of Dream Theater's 2005 CD Octavarium seems to follow the same "carpe diem" theme explored in "A Change of Seasons." Some theorize that it's talking about John Petrucci's musical career- he never wanted to be a musician. That is stupid. Very dumb thing to speculate. No grounds in reality. Just dumb. I use the word "dumb" because I've been trying to eliminate my use of other words. Read this hugely in-depth analysis that I love.
