I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

The songs for Awake were also written in a span of roughly 3 weeks.
Well, some of the stuff was showing up during the I&W live shows.
Mostly just Puppies On Acid.

What else?  Nothing else is coming to mind.
Innocence Faded jam and 6:00 jam

Then there was the neoclassical bit in Erotomania that was recycled from an early PMU demo. Also, both TSM and SDV had been written a few months before the proper writing sessions began.

I remember the bit from Erotomania now.  The original version of that (PMU with Erotomania inside it) had a working title of Oliver's Twist.

That would be a neat thing to pull out live.

Yeah. I didn't really buy into the 3 week figure for writing Awake. If that had been the case, MP wouldn't have made a big deal on the ToT bonus video about the short writing time of the album,
