Dream Theater - As I Am (SUBTÍTULOS ESPAÑOL)

Primera canción del disco Train Of Thought de la banda de Metal Progresivo Dream Theater, subtitulada al español (Como Soy). Composición por John Petrucci, John Myung, Jordan Rudess y Mike Portnoy, letra escrita por John Petrucci.

Esta canción fue inspirada en "una serie de conciertos molestos" como lo describe Mike Portnoy, mientras la banda andaba de gira con Queensryche en el año 2003. Incluso, Mike Stone, guitarrista de Queensryche en ese momento, trató de dar consejos sobre interpretación de guitarra y dirección musical a John Petrucci, lo cual fue tomado como algo arrogante. También hay rumores sobre la canción siendo dedicada al sello discográfico.

Comienza con el mismo acorde de orquestra con el cual concluye el último movimiento (VIII. Losing time/Grand Finale) de la última canción, homónima del disco anterior "Six Degrees Of inner Turbulence".


Letra en inglés:

Don't tell me what's in,
tell me how to write.
Don't tell me how to win this fight.
Isn't your life,
it isn't your right to take the only thing that's mine.

Proven over time,
it's over your head,
don't try to read between the lines.
Are clearly defined,
never lose sight of something you believe in.

Taking in the view from the outside,
feeling like the underdog.
Watching through the window I'm on the outside,
living like the underdog.

I've been trying to justify you,
in the end I will just defy you.

To those who understand, I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am.
Not under your command, I know where I stand.
I won't change to fix your plan, take me as I am.

As I am.

Still running uphill,
swimming against the current,
I wish I weren't so fucked.
Feels like I'm stuck,
lost in a sea of mediocrity.

Slow down,
you're thinking too much.
Where is your soul?
You cannot touch the way I play,
or tell me what to say.
You're in the way of all that I believe in.

Taking in the view from the outside,
feeling like the underdog.
Watching through the window I'm on the outside,
living like the underdog.

I've been wasting my breath on you,
open minds will descend upon you.

To those who understand, I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am.
Not under your command, I know where I stand.
I won't change to fix your plan, take me as I am.

To those who understand, I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am.
Not under your command, I know where I stand.
I won't change to fix your plan, take me as I am.

As I am.

Yeah.

As I am.
