| Porcupine Tree – Stars Die Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I recently started listening closely to Stars Die: The Delirium Years, and especially this song. Though its title seems on the surface to be sad, and it's lyrics describing the agonizing death that awaits our sun and the earth, within it's midst is the hope that was born of Man landing on the moon. Our sun is destined to become a Red Giant, growing ever larger until it consumes the earth and inner planets, and eventually, burn out. We will have to leave one day, or die. The moon landing was the first step in our journey away from our fate. I'd like to believe the last lines describe Man leaving earth for the stars, in starships. In suspended animation until we reach a new home, as our old sun fades into the black of space to join the other dying stars: Shallow haze to blast a way Hyper sleep to end the day |

BTW, pram is short for perambulator, which in the UK is an American stroller. My opinion is that this song is the concept that an infant's mind would be like an adult's acid trip. Nothing to relate to, everything's new, anything interpreted is only based on the short, short past that you've had. So surreal. Please don't stare... |

| Porcupine Tree – .3 Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| To me, being from an IT background (like SW), I see this as a versioning of a beta product. In this case, I believe this refers to WWIII, which would be version .3 of man's attempt at living together in the same world, in peace. Perhaps one day we'll reach that goal, and we'd have version 1.0 | |

Eat it, and it will fill you up. You are full, and you shut up and go away. Go to sleep. Pay your cash, buy it up. It's what you want, it tells you what to think. It speaks for your generation. It solves all your problems, and as long as you hear it echo in elevators and shopping malls, you know... You Rule, Sucker. And no one cares. |

| Porcupine Tree – Great Expectations Lyrics | 11 years ago |

To me, this song sounds like someone flipping through an old HS Yearbook, and seeing an old girl friend or crush, and reminiscing about what happened to her. "Hey, there's you" is the feel when I look through my old yearbooks, and old girlfriends, and wonder whatever happened to them. In my day, if a girl got pregnant, she'd 'disappear' from school, and maybe never be heard from again by fellow students. Knowing Steve's focus on the modern-day issue of over-medicating our youth, maybe this girl was 'locked up' and put on meds? |
