An amazing progressive rock song from the band Dream Theater off of their 6th studio album Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence. The third song on the first disk at 9 min long (rather short for them), delivers experimental chord progressions with a wide range of pedal effects and a soft intro followed up with a distorted chorus and solo with a layered minor 3rds effect. The lyrical meaning matches the theme of the album with psychological disorders describing from the inside a figure who is surrounded by so many in their life (fans, followers), yet are misunderstood and are not actually superhuman as their followers believe. These popular figures (possilby describing John Petrucci himself) feel abandoned in their lives "knowing so many, never really knowing anyone". The time signatures are not as progressive as many of Dream Theater's songs, but do include a 5/4 measure in each chorus lengthening the phrase along with an solo/outro, containing a 3/4 measure shortening the phrase. Dream Theater is one of the greatest bands of all time and surely anyone who is not yet a fan should learn some quick music theory, then listen to their music and absorb the complexity and perfection written into their songs.

Get the Misunderstood mug.Never gets texted back or called back, always has to text first. Normally alone since people don't want to take the time to know them as a person. Whenever they try to talk to someone they always get brushed off. Normally used for their sensitivity and good will, something that they do in the hopes that someone someday will maybe genuinely like them.

Get the misunderstood person mug.When a woman rejects information (especially from a man) based on the tone in which it is delivered. Related to mansplaining.
Let's get our egos out of the way of sharing accurate information: I'll stop mansplaining if you stop missunderstanding.
Even if what you're saying is correct, I'm still entitled to my missunderstanding.
