Since no one has gotten either of mine, I will give a few hints.
Dream Theater decides to write a song about dementia, pop idols, and never-ending cycles geometry.
"dementia, pop idols" refers to an animated film, "never-ending geometry" refers to a lyric from the song Octavarium.
John Petrucci and Tommy Rogers team up to write a song about a prospective origin story.
BTBAM's Parallax concept is not limited to the EP and LP duo; songs on several of their previous albums tie into the concept (thus the "prospective origin story"). One of these has a title that can be connected with a DT song. My wording of the clue was very deliberate.
But that's the problem, it's so short that most of the time it ends before I even bother listening. I just sing along and let my mind wander.
But it doesn't even require conscious thought about it, it's that simple! At the very least it's obviously not in 5/8.
At the very least, it should be obvious if a song is in simple, compound, or asymmetrical meter simply by listening to it. It is not that difficult to figure out the time signatures from there.
