Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Pull Me Under by Dream Theater

Today's Metal Track is Pull Me Under and is brought to you by Dream Theater. This is off of their 1992 album Images and Words. This is the album versions which is almost twice as long as the single version that was released for radio and the music video.

This song refers to Shakespeare's Hamlet and is told from the perspective of Prince Hamlet. It is about Hamlet's desire to gain revenge for his father at the cost of his own sanity. At the end of the song is a direct quote from the play, "Oh that this too, too solid flesh would melt."
