This voice who said something with "swimmingpool" sounds like EMINEM 
but I know that this spoke someone other

it's Conan O' Brian. Something about 'dry heat' then he saiys: 'dry until you hit the swimming pool'.
The song is basically about Kev Moore's relationship breaking up and then having a fixation with a girl in a magazine in a 'space dye vest'. Stirring up all these emotions and from there he wrote the lyrics. Mike said that if he had known Kevin would leave the band prior to the release of Awake, he would never have put this song on the album because it's so personal to Kevin.

[color=#aoeooa]Yes it was a quote from Conan O Brian, the talk show host.
like, Houston or something, you'd
say it's a hundred and eighty degrees,
but it's a dry heat.
In Houston they say that?
Oh, maybe not. I'm all mixed up.
Dry until they hit the swimming pool."
Thats it.[/color]

Thanks for the enlightment, I could never figure out what those lyrics mean... Moore´s lyrics always were a little strange, but very fascinating.Cyclopssss said:

It is a great song, and introduces us to Kevin's gift for building detached atmospheres and writing cryptic yet intensely personal lyrics.

Well, good thing Mike didn't have his way... or else "Awake" would be deprived of one of its best tracks.Cyclopssss said:
Space Dye Vest is a GREAT song to fall asleep to, an incredible composition by the best keyboard-player DT has had...

You also have to share Moore´s depressed, world-weary view on things, which is why I can´t really enjoy OSI and Chroma Key.Connauch said:
A lot of Chroma Key is pretty upbeat. Sure the lyrical themes are often negative, but never indulgently so, and the melodies are beautiful enough to enjoy the work with or without the lyrics.The Stormbringer said:

Space Dye Vest is an amazing song. When i first heard it, i didnt like it, but like alot of songs, it grew on me. Great song. :Spam:

I think the samples kill the song.
And Moore couldn't touch Petrucci or Myung lyric-wise back in the day.

That song puts me to sleep too. At first, I liked the song, but it soon hit me that it doesn't fit with the album and is just to weird of a song.shredmaster said:
