Pull Me Under - What is LaBrie Singing?

[Gunstar9]

Weird topic. I don't know if this has been covered before. I've always wondered... what the hell are the lyrics to the end of "Pull Me Under"? They aren't printed and I can't seem to find them online anywhere.

From the DT FAQ.

6.8 What is "Pull Me Under" about?

The current explanation goes that it was inspired by Shakespeare's "Hamlet". Prince Hamlet swore vengeance on King Claudius for murdering his father, the former King, and then marrying his mother, still Queen. Hamlet's famous Soliloquy was the passage in which the conflict in Hamlet's mind is detailed, and the second verse of "Pull Me Under" coincides pretty thoroughly with it. The very end of the song James can be heard singing this line from Hamlet:

"Oh that this too, too solid flesh would melt."​

Furthermore, after seeing the video, in an interview, Portnoy said "Who the hell was that wolfman guy in the video anyway? We had written it based on something else entirely." Portnoy noted that while Moore did not write "PMU" about Hamlet specifically, he DID write "PMU" about what Hamlet was about. Same themes, ideas, etc.

I usually use Dark Lyrics for most of my metal lyric needs... although once in a while, I find a band that isn't on there.

I can't see how you couldn't find them online:

My mistake, I found it on the 3rd site listed on the google images though.

Sorry skimmed over the part that you were looking for specific lyrics on that, my mistake on being snotty.

James does sing it very very clearly (well as clearly as James ever enunciates) on Live at the Marquee
