@[rick101204:28910] Actually, it was Roger Waters. Ron Geesin only helped him. Also, it sounds exactly like Roger Waters so I don't know how you could be confused. |

| Porcupine Tree – Sentimental Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
Where will life go, now that the new generation is starting to take place, being drastically different from the other generations? Children that grow up in a world like today will not want to work in this society, since everything has been completed from other generations. I'll admit it, I'm a millennial and I'm super lazy, I don't want to make a living, working day through day. If others have a mindset similar to this, how would the world be run in the future, sure it'd be drastically different, since we're accustomed to so many things (technology) that weren't around years ago. This song is my absolute favourite from Porcupine Tree, being the only song in history that has made me cry actual tears. I would have never thought that would happened in a million years, but the harmonization and melody just forces emotions into me that no other song or band does. |

The first four lines set the atmsophere of the song into place. "And the light from a street lamp Paints a pattern on my wall" The light basically means enlightenment, and since it is placed on top of a street lamp the speaker is unable to reach it. The wall represents his mental barrier. Without being able to get to that light, the speaker will never have a true understanding was his life actually is. We can infer that is what the pattern is. "Like the pieces of a puzzle Or a child's uneven scrawl" Without the proper mindset, a person could not figure both these things out. "Up a narrow flight of stairs In a narrow little room" The stairs are how the speaker is progressing though life. The room is what the speaker's life will turn to be. Notice how he uses the word "narrow" to describe both of these. This describes how human beings will never be truely free. "As I lie upon my bed In the early evening gloom" Still continuing through life without meaning/understanding. As for the second line, gloom is his mental state, because early evening is most certainly not supposed to be very dark, it is how he sees life. "Impaled on my wall My eyes can dimly see The pattern of my life And the puzzle that is me" These lines represent the phase of which the human notices an actual pattern controlling his life. However, he does not know how to overcome it. In other words, he knows it's somewhere, but he cannot find the truth of himself anywhere. "From the moment of my birth To the instant of my death There are patterns I must follow Just as I must breathe each breath" Throughout his whole existness, he has absolutely no choice but to follow these patterns. Aging is one major thing we can't control. We will forever keep getting older, still being forced to follow those patterns until we die. "Like a rat in a maze The path before me lies And the pattern never alters Until the rat dies" There is basically no difference between a rat in a maze and a human's life. Life is a labyrinthic maze of which there is no escape only until death. Death is the only significant change that occurs in life. "And the pattern still remains On the wall where darkness fell And it's fitting that it should For in darkness I must dwell Like the color of my skin Or the day that I grow old My life is made of patterns That can scarcely be controlled" The speaker is finally accepting no freedom, never able to unravel the truth about life and being forever controlled by a force which will never be seen. |
