1. The Root Of All Evil
[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics:
Mike Portnoy]
[VI. Ready]
Proud enough for you to call me
arrogant
Greedy enough to be labeled a
thief
Angry enough for me to go and
hurt a man
Cruel enough for me to feel no
grief
Never could have just a part of it
I always need more to get by
Getting right down to the heart
of it
The root of all evil has been
running my whole life
Dirty enough for me to lust
Leaving nothing left to trust
Jealous enough to still feel
envious
Lazy enough to sleep all day
And let my life just waste away
Selfish enough to make you wait
for me
Driven blindly by our sins
Misled so easily
Entirely ready to leave it behind
I'm begging to break free
Take all of me
The desires that keep burning
deep inside
Cast them all away
And help to give me strength to
face another day
I am ready
Help me be what I can be
[VII. Remove]
Self-centered fear has got a hold
of me
Clutching my throat
Self righteous anger running all
through me
Ready to explode
Procrastination paralyzing me
Wanting me dead
These obsessions that keep
haunting me
Won't leave my head
Help to do for me what I can't do
myself
Take this fear and pain
I can't break out this prison all
alone
Help me break these chains
Humility now my only hope
Won't you take all of me
Heal this dying soul
I can feel my body breaking
I can feel my body breaking
I'm ready to let it all go
I can feel my body shaking
Right down to the foundation
The root of it all
Take all of me
The desires that keep burning
deep inside
Cast it all away
And help to give me strength to
face another day
I am ready
Help me what I can be
I am ready
Come to me
Take me away
[Dedicated to Bill W. and all of his
friends]
2. The Answer Lies Within
[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics:
John Petrucci]
Look around,
Where do you belong
Don't be afraid,
You are not the only one
Don't let the day go by,
Don't let it end
Don't let a day go by in doubt,
The answer lies within
Life is short, so learn from your
mistakes
And stand behind, the choices
that you made
Face each day with both eyes
open wide
And try to give, don't keep it all
inside
Don't let the day go by
Don't let it end
Don't let a day go by, in doubt,
The answer lies within
You've got the future on your
side
You've gonna be fine now
I know whatever you decide
You are gonna shine!!! (shinee)
Don't let the day go by
Don't let it end
Don't let a day go by, in doubt
You re ready to begin
Don't let a day go by in doubt
The answer lies within
3. These Walls
[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics:
John Petrucci]
This is so hard for me
To find the words to say
My thoughts are standing still
Captive inside of me
All emotions start to hide
And nothing's getting through
Watch me,
Fading
I'm losing
All my instincts,
falling into darkness
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Tear down these walls for me
now)
So much uncertainty
I don't like this feeling
I'm sinking like a stone
Each time I try to speak
There's a voice I'm hearing
And it changes everything
Watch me,
Crawl from
The wreckage
Of my silence
Conversation
Failing
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Take down these walls)
Everytime you choose to turn
away
Is it worth the price you pay?
Is there someone who will wait
for you
One more time? [x2]
Watch me,
Fading
I'm losing
All my instincts,
Falling into darkness
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Tear down these walls for me
now)
Tear down these walls for me
It's not too late for me
Tear down these walls for me
4. I Walk Beside You
[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics:
John Petrucci]
There's a story in your eyes
I can see the hurt behind your
smile
For every sign I recognize
Another one escapes me
Let me know what plagues your
mind
Let me be the one to know you
best
Be the one to hold you up
When you feel like you're sinking
Tell me once again
What's beneath the pain you're
feeling
Don't abandon me
Or think you can't be saved
I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all the may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you
Summon up your ghosts for me
Rest your tired thoughts upon
my hands
Step inside this sacred place
When all your dreams seem
broken
Resonate inside this temple
Let me be the one who
understands
Be the one to carry you
When you can walk no further
Tell me once again
What's below the surface
bleeding
If you've lost your way,
I will take you there
I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you
Oh, where everything is wrong
Oh, where hopelessness
surrounds you
Oh, the sun will rise again
The tide you swim against
Will carry you back home
So don't give up
Don't give in
I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you
5. Panic Attack
[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics:
John Petrucci]
All wound up
On the edge
Terrified
Sleep disturbed
Restless mind
Petrified
Bouts of fear
Permeate
All I see
Heightening
Nervousness
Threatens me
I am paralyzed
So afraid to die
Caught off guard
Warning signs
Never show
Tension strikes
Choking me
Worries grow
Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where
I come from
Should this be fight or flight
I don't know why I'm constantly
so uptight
Rapid heartbeat pounding
through my chest
Agitated body in distress
I feel like I'm in danger
Daily life is strangled by my stress
A stifling surge
Shooting through all my veins
Extreme apprehension
Suddenly I'm insane
Lost all hope for redemption
A grave situation desperate at
best
Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where
I come from
Should this be fight or flight
I don't know why I'm constantly
reeling
Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety
Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex
delirium
Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety
Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex
delirium
6. Never Enough
[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics:
Mike Portnoy]
Cut myself open wide
Reach inside
Help yourself
To all I have to give
And then you help yourself again
And then complain that
You didn't like the way
I put the knife in wrong
You didn't like the way
My blood spilled on your brand
new floor
What would you say
If I walked away
Would you appreciate
But then it'd be too late
Because I can only take so much
of your ungrateful ways
Everything is never enough
Sacrifice my life
Neglect my kids and wife
All for you to be happy
All those sleepless nights
And countless fights to give you
more
And then you say how dare that
I didn't write you back
I must be too good for you
I only care about myself
What would you say
If I walked away
Would you appreciate
But then it'd be too late
Because I can only take so much
of your ungrateful ways
Everything is never enough
7. Sacrificed Sons
[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics:
James LaBrie]
[Begins with samples from 9/11]
Walls are closing
Anxiously
Channel surfing
Frantically
Burning City
Smoke and fire
Planes we're certain
Faith inspired
No clues
A complete surprise
Who'll be
Coming home tonight
Heads all turning
Towards the sky
Towers crumble
Heroes die
Who would wish this
On our people
And proclaim
That His will be done
Scriptures they heed have misled
them
All praise their Sacrificed Sons
Teach them
What to think and feel
Your ways
So enlightening
Words they preach
I can't relate
If God's true Love
Are acts of Hate
God on High
Our mistakes
Will mankind be extinct?
There's no time to waste
Who serves the truth
For Heavens' sake
8. Octavarium
[Music: Dream Theater]
[I. Someone Like Him]
[Lyrics: John Petrucci]
I never wanted to become
someone like him so secure
Content to live each day just like
the last
I was sure I knew that
This was not for me
And I wanted so much more
Far beyond what I could see
So I swore that I'd
Never be someone like him
So many years have passed
Since I proclaimed
My independence
My mission
My aim
And my vision
So secure
Content to live each day like it's
my last
It's wonderful to know
That I could be
Something more than what I
dreamed
Far beyond what I could see
Still I swear that I'm
Missing out this time
As far as I could tell
There's nothing more I need
But still I ask myself
Could this be everything
Then all I swore
That I would never be was now
So suddenly
The only thing
I wanted
To become
To be someone just like him
[II. Medicate (Awakening)]
[Lyrics: James LaBrie]
A Doctor sitting next to me
He asks me how I feel
Not sure I understand his
questioning
He says I've been away a while
But thinks he has cured me
From a state of catatonic sleep
For 30 years
Where have I been
Eyes open
But not getting through to me
Medicate me
Infiltrate me
Side effects appear
As my conscience slips away
Medicate me
Science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can't you stop what's happening
A higher dosage he prescribes
But there's no guarantee
I feel it starting to take over me
I tell him not to be ashamed
There's no one who's to blame
A second shot
A brief awakening
I feel the relapse
Can't break free
Eyes open
But not getting through to me
[III. Full Circle]
[Lyrics: Mike Portnoy]
Sailing on the seven seize the day
tripper diem's ready
Jack the ripper Owens Wilson
Phillips and my supper's ready
Lucy in the sky with diamond
Dave's not here I come to save
the
Day for nightmare cinema show
me the way to get back home
again
Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound
Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle
Flying off the handle be careful
with
That axe Eugene gene the dance
machine
Messiah light my fire gabba
gabba
Hey hey my my generation's
home again
Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound
Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle
[IV. Intervals]
[Lyrics: Mike Portnoy]
[First]
Our deadly sins feel his mortal
wrath
Remove all obstacles from our
path
[Second]
Asking questions
Search for clues
The answer's been right in front
of you
[Third]
Try to break through
Long to connect
Fall on deaf ears and failed
muted breath
[Fourth]
Loyalty, trust, faith and desire
Carries love through each darkest
fire
[Fifth]
Tortured Insanity
A smothering hell
Try to escape but no avail
[Sixth]
The calls of admirers
Who claim they adore
Drain all your lifeblood while
begging for more
[Seventh]
Innocent victims of merciless
crimes
Fall prey to some madmen's
impulsive designs
[Octave]
Step after step
We try controlling our fate
When we finally start living it has
become too late
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
[V. Razor's Edge]
[Lyrics: John Petrucci]
We move in circles
Balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor's edge
A perfect sphere
Colliding with our fate
This story ends where it began

PERBEDAAN NETBOOK VS NOTEBOOK

Dunia gadget akhir-akhir ini di
ramaikan oleh pendatang
baru, pendatang itu di
kategorikan ke dalam
Netbook. Anda pasti tahu
dengan Asus yang dengan
Asus Eee PC nya, yang sangat
mungil dan tentunya harga yang
miring. Asus Eee PC merupakan
salah satu gadget yang masuk
kategori Netbook. Apa saja ciri-
ciri Netbook? Pada umumnya
performa adalah sebuah
perbedaan yang mendasar dari
Netbook dan Notebook. Netbook
sejak pertama kali diciptakan
untuk mensupport pengguna
Netbook yang melakukan
aktifitas sehari-hari seperti
browsing internet, cek email dan
lain sebagainya. Sedangkan
Notebook yang selama ini sudah
kita ketahui kemampuannya
setara dengan komputer
desktop.
Netbook dan Notebook secara
fisik dapat dilihat perbedaan
pada monitor, Netbook
berukuran 7 hingga 10 inch,
sedangkan Notebook memiliki
layar lebih dari 10 inch. Dengan
ukuran yang kecil, Netbook
sangat nyaman dibawa kemana-
mana kita pergi. Hal lainnya yang
membedakan adalah Netbook
memiliki keterbatasan pada
output device, dan netbook pada
umumnya tidak memiliki optical
drive. Ciri yang lain adalah harga,
Netbook memiliki kisaran harga
$250 hingga $500 atau lebih
kurang 5 jutaan rupiah. Tetapi
anda tidak dapat menemukan
Notebook di bawah $500.
Setelah Asus sukses dengan Eee
PC nya, banyak vendor-vendor
lain menelurkan produk serupa,
untuk vendor lokal seperti Xware
dengan Aerisnya, Zyrex dengan
Ubud dan Anoa. Untuk vendor
luar seperti Acer dengan Aspire
One, MSI dengan Wind, serta
Lenovo dengan Lenovo S10.
Toshiba masih ragu-ragu untuk
mengeluarkan produknya,
karena dikhawatirkan tren
Netbook ini hanya sesaat.
Target pengguna Netbook
adalah orang yang suka duduk
berjam-jam di food court atau
cafe bahkan restoran yang
menyediakan hotspot gratis.
Fasilitas wi-fi dipastikan terdapat
pada semua jenis Netbook. Dapat
dipastikan pengguna Netbook
yang berjam-jam di cafe atau
restoran atau tempat lainnya
yang terdapat wifi spot adalah
chatting, menulis atau hanya
sekedar browsing internet saja,
karena aplikasi berat sudah
dipastikan sangat memakan
sumber daya dan tenanga dari
Netbook tersebut. Aplikasi-
aplikasi ringan yang lazim
terdapat pada Netbook adalah
Chat Messenger seperti Yahoo
Messenger, MSN Messenger, Gtalk,
Skype, browser Mozilla, tak lupa
webcam juga tertanam pada
jenis-jenis tertentu untuk
digunakan live cam
menggunakan aplikasi
Messenger yang support view
cam.
Jadi apabila anda membutuhkan
untuk menjalankan aplikasi
semacam Adobe Photoshop,
CorelDRAW, AutoCAD, aplikasi
video editing atau aplikasi berat
lainnya, Netbook bukanlah
pilihan yang tepat.
