With the sessions for Falling Into Infinity (1997), the band recorded a 21-minute instrumental demo of "Metropolis Pt. 2" (which was later released by Mike Portnoy via his Ytsejam Records site along with the other Falling Into Infinity demos), but this did not make it onto that album. The name "Part I" was added by Petrucci as a joke. Metropolis Ark 3 is the beating heart of your compositions, tackling pounding percussion head-on taking you through low drums, toms, snares, gongs, cymbals, and wooden percussion, all the way to the highest clicks and clacks.Fans had previously requested a sequel to the first part of the song "Metropolis—Part I" from Images and Words, but the band had not yet been able - nor had they originally intended - to make one.

In 2019, the twentieth anniversary of the release of Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory, Dream Theater performed it live in its entirety alongside material from their fourteenth studio album, Distance over Time. In 2011 the album was released on LP for the first time to celebrate Record Store Day. The performance was recorded and was released in 2001 as the Metropolis 2000 Live DVD. The final version of the story became a concept album, dealing with the story of a man named Nicholas and the discovery of his past life, which involves love, murder and infidelity as Victoria Page, and as such was heavily inspired by the 1991 film Dead Again, more so than the original "Metropolis—Part I".Following the album's release, the band embarked on an extensive world tour, and at a show in New York City the band actually hired actors to perform the narrative elements of the album whilst they played.
Nicholas assumes that Julian murdered her out of jealousy and then killed himself, a story backed up by a newspaper article covering the events, which cites a witness' testimony. ("Through My Words") Nicholas is able to recall that Victoria began distancing herself from her lover Julian Baynes (also given last name in 2019 tour video and is also in the CD insert) because of his drinking and gambling addictions she sought comfort in Julian's brother Edward Baynes and began an affair with him. ("Strange Deja Vu") He begins to believe that Victoria is haunting him to reveal the truth about her murder. ("Regression") He learns that she was murdered, and that he was Victoria in a past life. In a hypnotic trance induced by his hypnotherapist, he begins to see a girl named Victoria Page (her full name is in the CD booklet and was shown during the 2019 tour, when the album was performed in its entirety) and a life that feels strangely familiar, despite the fact that he has never been here.
("Home") Edward feels guilty about deceiving his brother, but decides that his love for Victoria is greater than his guilt, and he seduces her when she is vulnerable following her breakup. ("Fatal Tragedy" "Beyond This Life", "Through Her Eyes")The second act begins by describing Julian's addictions to cocaine and gambling, which drives Victoria away from him. He realizes that he will never be able to get on with his own life until he solves her murder.
("Finally Free") In the present, Nicholas arrives home, followed by the Hypnotherapist. The flashback includes Edward telling Victoria to "open eyes" before killing her, echoing the same choice of words the hypnotherapist used to wake Nicholas from his hypnotic trance. As Victoria begins to reconcile with Julian again, Edward confronts the two of them, murders them, then stages the scene and assumes the role of the witness for the newspaper column. ("The Spirit Carries On") The narrative then cuts to Edward's perspective, revealing that he wished his romance with Victoria was more than a simple affair. The hypnotherapist ends the session at this point, despite pleas from Victoria's memories. ("One Last Time") Nicholas comes to terms with what has happened, and bids farewell to Victoria.

The band confirmed on the Scenes from New York live DVD that the hypnotherapist is Edward's reincarnation, and has killed Nicholas to complete the cycle yet again.The static that closes this album continues at the beginning of "The Glass Prison", the first song on their next album, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (2002), and continuing a chain for their subsequent albums until Octavarium (2005) with the same idea but different closing notes.Scenes from a Memory showcased a traditional progressive rock sound.
