Dream Theater - The Enemy Inside (LYRIC VIDEO) 

Its unbelievable how Dream Theater in almost every song explain to me my own psychic and spiritual problems. Im struggling with schizophrenia for 7 years, and by listening to these genius songs and lyrics I find myself fighting with more and more strenght and faith. Thank you, Dream theater

Been a huge fan of DT since Images and words. I really liked systematic chaos . This seems to be nice and heavy, just like that. I am glad they are still putting out great music.

This is one of my favorite Dream Theater songs

OMG! that drumming is incredible in this song.

THIS should won that grammy!!

QUOTE FROM JOHN: We hate doing music vids...this is just for the hell of it, explains why they never make them guys its about the music, not how cinematic your videos are

I didn't see this song until today. It is probably one of the best Dream Theater song's i have ever heard. I have many more favorites, mainly from the album "Images and Words", yet I have not really looked into their new songs until today. Wonderful job, well done

I also suffer from PTSD. These lyrics are very, very accurate…

Amazing... DT has captured the essence of PTSD without experiencing it. Most of us will never know what our returning servicemen and women are really going through. I hope this song helps some of them know they are not forgotten.

Dream Theater have been one of my favorite bands since I was kid. This track is absolutely solid. Can't wait for the album!!

This will forever be Mangini's song for me... It's not less iconic than any DT banger made with Portnoy too. It's is such a good song and this is the Dream Theater that I love

I served in the Marine commandos. Bosnia, afganistan and iraq. The lyricks hit right to my face. DT is always been close to my heart. Remember: Life is good.:D

This is one of those songs - called Dream Theater songs - that keep getting better and more powerful the more you listen to them.

I like how the riffs and grooves in this song seem like there is no escaping them and they always fall a bit short on where you were expecting them to end, it kinda gives the feeling of some sort of desperation and "powerlessness" that goes well with the song meaning.

Title: The Enemy Inside What I see: Johnny Sins What comes in mind: War Inside my head

I don't know why everyone in the comments are complaining about the 4/4, this song is fucking awesome, like a million times better than all the shit you hear these days on the radio, I know since Mike is gone, things are different, but the are still great af. Wish there was more bands like Dream Theater!

My favorite things about Dream Theater have to be: When LaBrie sings during their bridges, when Petrucci sets off on his insane solos, when Rudess just sweeps that keyboard like there's no tomorrow... And then, together with Myung's badass riffs, and Mangini's fantastic fills and rolls, it creates a masterpiece like this. I'm happy that every album I hear of theirs gets better and better. Can't wait for the 24th!

Every Dream Theater album has a different sound style, but objectively none of them is bad. This is why I love this band.

Congratulations Mike Mangini for your incredible playing. You are one of the best drummer in the world. One of my favorite.

Did he find a toilet or not?

I'm really digging the more straight metal approach this song has. A lot of people say DT releases the same album over and over, and this proves they can change things up a bit. Only thing lacking for me was Myung's godlike bass riffs, but I'm sure we'll hear many more masterpieces when this amazing album drops!

This is the perfect song for me to do cardio to... “running from the enemy inside” yeah the enemy inside is my fat ass

This looks like a video about a guy violently trying to search for a public toilet because he has to take a shit immediately LMFAO

5:09 Just when I thought JP couldn't deliver a powerful solo to blow my mind like the old times...there he goes.

Heavy, progressive, melodic and it has really interesting lyrics.... Great song.

So this is the first song where we get to see Mangini have a huge creative output on the drumming. Awesome job! :)

BRILLIANT BAND !!!

Anyone besides me who thinks the solos in this song are very underrated?

This band is absolutly amazing, iv been listening to them for 16 years and have NEVER beer disappointed, they just keep getting better and better!

congrats on grammy nomination

0:27 got my ears! THAT RIFF!

Download it all and listen to it all. I've been listening to DT nonstop for 10 years now. Loving them more and more!

Mangini does such a great job, this album is amazing, imo.

I swear this video is about a drunk dude trying to find his way home XD

I don't know. I've been told a lot about how dream theaters amazing so naturally, I listen to their top viewed songs. Now I don't know if these are their best songs, but it's not 1989 anymore. It seems like the genre died and it die for a reason. They just sound like everyone else. Its mostly the voice, the melodies, and the themes/lyrics. I don't undeestand what the fuss is about!

i love this song dude. it makes me want to go run a mile.

Walking to school like.......

When you have 5$ for the music video

Took me awhile to get into this song, now I can't stop listening. Perfect "single" for this album, everyone shines in it.

This video has a million + views, so proud of you DT! :')

Man, James is really channeling his inner Dave Mustaine at the beginning of this song. It's cool!

They played this track in Hala Tivoli, Ljubljana yesterday early on in the concert, and it was so fucking powerful live. Unreal... The chorus won't stop ringing in my head.

One of my favourite songs ever!

10 years already god dang, it's sill fresh

This new DT is awesome! I heard they are going to releasing another track from the self-titled album this upcoming week too. Definitely going to buy this new album when it comes out.

I was listening to this today, and I never payed attention to all the lyrics. And then I heard "paradise came to an end...and no magic pilllll...can bring it back again". I thought that was a pretty clever lyric.

This band and song is SO amazing!!!

For drummers: The fill at 1:22 is nearly impossible to play without having mastered limb independence. It is sixtuplets where the toms create two descending arcs between double bass and the snare still stays on 2 and 4. You could easily just play the toms and double kick as sixtuplets but getting the snare in there on 2 and 4 is quite tricky at that tempo.

This is their heavier's song... and its awesome! we need more of this from them.

Ok here are the track lengths, don't know if it's official but found them in wikipedia. False Awakening Suite 12:42 The Enemy Inside 6:17 The Looking Glass 4:53 Enigma Machine 6:02 The Bigger Picture 7:41 Behind The Veil 6:53 Surrender To Reason 6:35 Along For The Ride 4:45 Illumination Theory 22:18 .

Three weeks abroad, no internet. Now I listen back the song and it sounds even better than before. Can't wait for my preordered album to arrive.

Mike Mangini's drums add so much to the vibe when they sound like intermittent automatic weapons.

Over and over again I relive the moment I'm bearing the burden within Open wounds hidden under my skin Pain is real as a cut that bleeds The face I see every time I try to sleep Staring at me crying I'm running from the enemy inside Looking for the life I left behind These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind And I can't escape from the enemy inside I sever myself from the world And shut down completely All alone in my own living hell Overcome with irrational fear Under the weight of the world on my chest I buckle and break as I try to catch my breath Tell me I'm not dying I'm running from the enemy inside Looking for the life I left behind These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind And I can't escape from the enemy inside I'm a burden and a travesty I'm a prisoner of regret Between the flashbacks and the violent dreams I am hanging on the edge Disaster lurks around the bend Paradise came to an end And no magic pill Can bring it back again I'm running from the enemy inside Looking for the life I left behind These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind And I can't escape from the enemy inside

A really nice song, thank you for your great work!

Wonderful song! It's so nice to listen it! Thanks! Congratulations!

It´s all about our inside darkeness..or a heavy episode of our lives, that was too strong for us and comes back again and again..so "relive the moment".. Great song, great sound.great Dream Theater as always!

the instrumental part at 02:13 never fails to catch my attention *-*

Johnny Sins? is that you?!

My cousin, Pte. Damien Jackson of 3rd Para, lost his life in Afghanistan in 2006, just DAYS before his 20th birthday. This INCREDIBLE track reminds me of him all the time. It appears that I'm clearly not quite through grieving, as I'm soaked in tears while typing this. Thoughts going out to anyone who has to live with PTSD for the rest of their lives.

Can't stop listening to this awesome music

Amazing! The Best Band in the World!

1:30 James Mustaine(?

The Xylophone-like sounds make the instrumental sound like a Golden Sun Bossfight Theme and i really dig it. Nicely done!

A brilliant, genious composition!!!

When you already have a song called: "War Inside My Head".

by far the best

Drums, Bass, Guiar ALL of the instruments are unbelievably tight together!

I agree completely. That album was elegant and beautiful.

This is quite good.

At first I wasnt a big fan of this track, but now it is one of my favorites from recent years from these guys! And the new album is just amazing overall.

Wow, they had the time signature changes really well. I couldn't fully appreciate this band until listening to other prog material and getting used to drumming. This is fantastic!

One of their best, in my opinion!

Todos los dias escucho Dream Theater, para mi ya estocar el cielo, si bien Iron Maiden ,Kiss;Ozzy,Slayer,Megadeth ,satriani, ect,etc,son buenos o buenisimos, que de hecho e escuchado de todo, Dream ya es mas que musica mas alla de lo puedas imaginar con demasiadas notas y mucha melodia e inspiracion , esta banda piensa en notas musicales demasiado, buen video buena cancion ,aunque ay temas mejores que este, esperemos su disco para el mes proximo, suerte Dream Theater...

Don't know why reviewers put this album at the bottom of their lists. I absolutely love it!

The intro so powerfull !!

DT's music is like wine, they sound better and better as they age \m/

The Mangini haters need to sort themselves out. Just because he plays in a different style than Portnoy doesn't mean he is robotic, lacks soul or whatever excuse you might come up with. You guys are just trying to find errors with him that aren't there just because you're still pissed over the fact that Portnoy left. Face it: Band members come and go and that's nothing to whine about. There aren't many who whines over the fact that KK Downing left Judas Priest anymore, neither are there many who whines over that Peter Lindgren and Martin Lopez left Opeth or that Marty Friedman left Megadeth. Dream Theater fans should reason the same with Portnoy. You don't have to like Mangini but please, stop trying to find errors with him that doesn't exist just because you want to have another member in the band. Admit that you don't like him simply because he's not Portnoy. I admit: I also prefer Portnoy to Mangini but that's simply because Portnoy was a founding member, played in the band for 25 years, was a creative force of the band and drummed in a way that appeals more to me than Manginis. That is not a reason to bash on Mangini or to find excuses without grounding in reality in order to unjustify his membership. I love Mangini as well and I admire his contributions to the Dream Theater music, and even though I prefer Portnoy when it comes down to it, that is not a reason for me to try to find errors with Mangini that doesn't exist. I bet most of you reason the same when everything comes around. You are just to blind, dumb or proud to admit it.

Octavarium, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, The Count of Tuscany, In The Presence of Enemies (both parts), Metropolis Part 2 (the entire album, favourite song/album ever).

dream theater is the best band ever!!!! what kick ass song!!! april 17th 2019...CANT WAIT!!!!

I ask this seriously, are you can't stop listening this song too?

I'm surprised people don't realize this song and video is about a person with anxiety/panic disorder. Takes one to know one I guess.

great track...awesome drums!

Awake, Images and Words, Black Clouds and Silver Linings. These are great.

Rhythm is like "This Dying Soul"

Everyone in DT are excellent musicians, & I agree that they don't keep the same beat for too long, but this is very good video, & shows what some soldiers go through, coming home from wars.

This album I've listened to probably 50 times. I'm a metalhead mostly, but like melodic metal as well and when I first heard this song I was hooked. I listen to it all the time. DT is awesome! I haven't seen them live, maybe one day.

Its always a pleasure to hear whats new from DT despite all comments pos or neg

It doesn't sound anything like the last album, but I think this song would fit right in on Train of Thought. Definitely very guitar driven, but I'd be surprised if the whole album was like that. We will probably get a lot of variety just like on past releases.

love this song! sounds like DEATH THEATER!

This is honestly a great song!

Well done Dream Theater, I can't get this song out of my head! This song has an "Endless Sacrifice" vibe on it, don't you think?

The video reached the million views, proof that no matter the pissed off kids about the already 3 yo story on Mike Portnoy's departure bullshit, and the "they are not the same anymore" argument (while each of their albums are completely different from one to another anyway ! ) people are still listening to that and keep coming back to the video !! nicely done dt. + most of you are saying "the drum mix sucks" actually the snare drum is only a bit goofy, but the rest of the mix is just flawless (maybe a bit too loud, but you know the mastering has to be louder and louder if you want your shit to be "sellable" in the market)

Someone call that guy an Uber.

love it...i hope the whole new album gonna be like this!

The clip is a huge selfie hahaha. Love the song!

in an interview the band mates stated this song was inspired by the feeling of constipation

go dream theater!!!!!!!

On ADToE I felt songs quite so long, Now I want this one to be longer :D amazing work!

Awesome!! Can't wait for the tour to hit the UK in February!

that moment when you realize the lyric video has got more views than the actual video clip !
