Would it be so odd if this song were really about Jesus? I'm not saying one way or the other, but just think about it. The facts are as follows: 1. Michael Portney was involved in Alcholics Anonymous. 2. AA believes that faith in a loving God is an important step for recovering from alchohl addiction. 3. As a result Michael Portney is still in to process of writing 12 movements dedicated to the AA's 12 step program (the final movements will probably be on the album after Systematic Chaos). 4 The first of set of movements is My Glass Prison which ends with the lyrics:
Fell down on my knees and prayed
"Thy will be done"
I turned around, saw a light shining through
The door was wide open
Again I'm not saying one way or another. All I'm saying is stop trying to deny the possibility that this song could be about God. Considering the history of DT it very well could be. Then again it might not.
As for me, when I hear this song, it does sound as if Jesus is speaking to me through DT. But that's just because I'm listening to the song out of my perspective that I have recieved from my faith. You do the same when you listen to the song. The song has deep meaning to me though because of what I believe.
John Petrucci wrote the lyrics to this song, and I've heard rumors telling that it's written to his wife, a follow-up on the lyrics he wrote in Endless Sacrifice.
