"A Mind Beside Itself" is a three-part song cycle composed of "Erotomania", "Voices" and "The Silent Man".
 Portnoy stated that the instrumental "Erotomania" was written "off the cuff"as "a bit of a joke and parody".
 Petrucci penned the lyrics to "Voices", dealing with the subject of mental illness.
 He researched schizophrenia and similar disorders and used religious terms "to make things more vivid".
 "When I was writing it, I saw these terms and medical things that were just brilliant," he said.
 "Like there was a guy who felt that his skin was inside out.
 I read that and was like 'Oh my God!
 That's unbelievable; I've got to write about that.'"
 Petrucci wrote the music and lyrics to the acoustic "The Silent Man".
 LaBrie described the lyrics as dealing with "communication breakdown, for instance between a father and a son.
 We feel that we have to play certain roles when around one of our parents, and we never really get to know the real person.
 I'm lucky that I behave with my own father like I would a friend.
 We can joke around and go for a beer."
 A full live performance of the suite can be found on the 2000 "Live Scenes from New York" album.

This is a summary of the history of Ecuador from 1860-1895.
 Gabriel García Moreno is the father of Ecuadorian conservatism and no doubt the most controversial figure in the nation's history, condemned by Liberal historians as Ecuador's worst tyrant but exalted by Conservatives as the nation's greatest nation-builder.
 In the end, both appraisals may be accurate; the man who possibly saved Ecuador from disintegration in 1859 and then ruled the nation with an iron fist for the subsequent decade and a half was, in fact, an extremely complicated personality.
 Born and raised under modest circumstances in Guayaquil, he studied in Quito, where he married into the local aristocracy, then traveled to Europe in the aftermath of the 1848 revolutionary uprisings and studied under the eminent Catholic theologians of the day.
