Why does this remind me of Metropolis Pt. 2?

As in the old black & white German film?

As in the old (ouch 😬😢) Dream Theater album.

In that case, I don't know. I've never heard it before.

I am utterly SHOOK at this revelation 😵 I was sure a man of such esteem would be intimately acquainted with classic Dream Theater!

At any rate, your poem reminds me of this song specifically from the aforementioned album. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen.

So it was that, yet again, The Inevitable occurred.

"The Inevitable" being the fact that I've surprised someone by not knowing a lick about something they'd fully expect me to be aware of 😂

Got the song saved to my history. I'll give it a listen on the way in to work.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll have to take you at your word on that last bit, though 😂
