Forsaken by Dream Theater Song Info
Forsaken is the second single and the second track from Dream Theater's ninth studio album, Systematic Chaos. Like the lead single, Constant Motion, it features a music video, which is in an anime style, and does not feature the band at all except as photographs in the background of one scene. It was released as an EP online, and wasn't available for download as a physical copy. Its lyrics are about a man who is visited by a vampiress. He believes that he's seeing beautiful things, where his blood is actually being sucked by vampiress. The "crimson stain on her lips" alludes to the blood that she has taken from him. Forsaken is one of Dream Theater's more poppy songs, however the intro features a heavy guitar riff. It's five and a half minutes long, the shortest song on the album, making it more accessible to mainstream listeners.
