This song was written by Mike Portnoy and is part of his Alcoholics Anonymous suite about the twelve steps of the Alcoholics Anonymous program. Michael Stephen Portnoy (born April 20, 1967) American Drummer primarily known as the drummer and backing vocalist for the Progressive The Alcoholics Anonymous suite is a series of songs by Progressive metal band Dream Theater. A twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles for recovery from Addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems Alcoholics Anonymous ( AA) is an informal meeting society for recovering and recovered alcoholics, with the stated purpose to help its members "to stay sober and The suite began on the band's sixth album, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, though "The Mirror" from the album Awake is considered by fans to be a "prequel" of sorts to the AA Suite. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (often abbreviated to SDOIT or 6DOIT) is the sixth full-length studio Album by Progressive metal band Awake is the third studio album by American Progressive metal band Dream Theater, released in 1994 The Alcoholics Anonymous suite is a series of songs by Progressive metal band Dream Theater. "Repentance" includes Steps eight and nine. Alcoholics Anonymous ( AA) is an informal meeting society for recovering and recovered alcoholics, with the stated purpose to help its members "to stay sober and Unlike the other three previous songs in the suite, "Repentance" has a distinctly slower, moodier feel.
The song's opening and bridge consists a melody previously heard in movement IV of the Alcoholics Anonymous suite, Reflections of Reality (Revisited), from "This Dying Soul" on Train of Thought, although it is brought up from the original B to a C# scale, despite the verses being in B. " This Dying Soul " is a song from Dream Theater 's seventh studio album Train of Thought. Train of Thought is the seventh full-length studio album by Progressive metal band Dream Theater. Additionally, the first lyric of the song, "Hello, mirror / So glad to see you my friend / It's been a while" is the same lyric that opens This Dying Soul. However, as seen on the Chaos In Progress: The Making of Systematic Chaos documentary, it is sung by Mike Portnoy rather than James LaBrie. Also, the vocals have been processed, making it sound like it's coming through a phone.
The song's ending contains a spoken passage known as "the twelve promises" from pages 83-84 of the Alcoholics Anonymous book. They read as follows:
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through.
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.
No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.
That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.
Self seeking will slip away.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us - sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.
According to Chaos in Progress, the song's working title was "Song #7" or "Fisheye".
