6:00 has to be my favorite: the time doesn't tell much until you hear the song or read the lyrics and makes you wonder what the song will be about. Other favorites:

Learning to Live
Lie (straightforward yet effective)
Lifting Shadows off a Dream
Lines in the Sand
Peruvian Skies
Space-Dye Vest
Surrounded
The Glass Prison
The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun
Trial of Tears
Under a Glass Moon

hmm.. I've never really concentrated that much on the lyrics.  I don't have a slightest clue what 6:00 is about  :P

6:00 is in essence about realizing that where you are in life is not where you want to be and the "stuck" feeling that results from that.

Oh I forgot Trial Of Tears, that's definitely one of my favourite titles as well.

Most of mine have already been covered, but I absolutely love 'The Mirror'. It just conveys a wealth of images to what is this 'mirror' showing, or are the 'images' actually in the mind, or on another level - just really thought provoking. Probably a top 10 song for me too just quietly..

Alright, I'm done pondering. I think I'll choose LSOAD, simply because of its great poetic value. Also, it's one of my favorite songs from DT.

Aside from this, I also really like titles that have a hidden story/meaning behind them. SDV and AMBI come to my mind.

I really like Bridges in the Sky. The Glass Prison is simply genius and I like the wordplay on Prophets of War.

My favorite song title from DT is The Ones Who Help To Set The Sun.  However, I don't really like the song itself very much at all.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Just out of curiosity, even if you'll never have another drink again, will you still be calling yourself "recovering alcoholic" for the rest of your life? I see that quite often and it seems strange.


Sycsa is perhaps the most brilliant and insightful man I have ever encountered.

I think that the concept is that alcoholism is an incurable chronic disease. (I think that there are a lot of misdiagnosed alcoholics, but true alcoholics have a major alcohol addiction.) Therefore, you're never really cured, but recovering. Similar concept to former vs ex-marine.

I like pretty much all of DT's song titles, but I guess if I had to pick a few that stick out it off the top of my head they'd be Beyond This Life and Lines In the Sand. They seem like pretty cool and original track names to me  :lol I also love both songs so I guess that influences my decision as well  ;D

The story behind the song is so cool.

That's too deep man.... it should be something more simple. Like a trip to Italy and Drinking some wine or sumthing.

It's dificult to just think of a song by its title and not by the song itself, but my favorite titles are: On the back of angels, LSOAD, SoC, The dance of eternity.

I really like A Fortune In Lies, I don't really know why. I really like the lyrics to that song as well, and again I don't really know why. They're just pretty cool  :tup

I think I'll have to go with 'Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper', because of the insane progginess and pretentiousness that title provokes.

Other good ones I think are Bridges in the Sky, Innocence Faded, Trial of Tears, In The Presence of Enemies and Stream of Consciousness.
