On the other hand, it could mean he finally sees the thruth, he kneels to this new knowledge and distances himself from it and decides tot apply for a new job, a new carreer, in wich he can talk about his knowledge.
Steven, tell us! :)
I couldn't stop thinking about the meaning of this song and now I am sure that (in my opinion) it is about spiritual growth. Once you know your true purpose here on earth, wich is;
to LOVE..
it is very difficult to decide what to do with it. We live in a world full of (pretend) fear, fueled hatred etc. and when you participate in this world, it makes you an accessary. This is a very difficult feeling, because most of your loved ones do not see this world the same way. They also know that there is something wrong, but they are not really sure what it is. Besides, to aknowledge it, means that you most probably have to leave them in some way or another. And why? Read the lyrics of Wake as gun; this could be a real eye-opener to some people.
Think about it. It is all about love. Stop being greedy, start listening to your heart!
If you're curious, about 11 minutes into the song Truenorth is a good spot to hear it. Compare that to the piano loop in Kneel and Disconnect toward the end. Anyone else hear it? Is there a connection here?
"Waste another year" could also refer to hiding from one's problems. In this way, I think the lyrics to this song could be related to "I Drive the Hearse." "Hoping it will go away" "Living with my mistakes" "Getting through another day" etc. The narrator is wasting his life by hiding away his problem and his regrets. The lyrics to "Great Expectations" lead me to believe that there is a specific person involved. The narrator goes through year after year of constantly thinking about this, but he never acts on it or considers making amends because he's too scared to.
There is an air of regret that seems to pervade the album.
"kneel and disconnect" - kneeling down to work on the computers themselves (disconnecting wires/cables)?
"Fill the application" - programming/installing the applications on the computers?
If this is the case, 'kneel and disconnect' could perhaps be the pattern his was following prior to changing direction - giving in to the pressure for a normal less risky career. Disconnecting from his dreams.
Beautiful song though. Would love to hear an extended version of it!
That all said, my initial interpretation of this song -- half-described above and fitting with the lyrics -- really hit a strong note with me at my current stage in life, so I love this song regardless.
Kneel and disconnect meaning think about the job then quit.
Fill the application meaning filling out another job application and starting a new career as a repeat process.
That's just my thoughts, it could be symbolic for something else.
I wish this song was longer, it's beautiful.
I got the album leaked on my computer even though I pre ordered it, I was not disappointed. Porcupine Tree is an amazing band, shame they don't get more recognition.
The album is a masterpiece. I already paid for my copy long ago, but I was listening to the leak. Remember Me Lover will go down as a classic.
