Lyric discussion by Skaven 

I think Wilson said that this is about the moment when he ended is IT job and decided to become a musician.

Yes, I was gonna post that. Beautiful song and beautiful transition to Drawing the Line.

What's odd is that I'd be a little excited about this "new career." Why else would he do it? Instead, his song sounds very somber. He described the change as being "scary," as he was well-set in life as a company man -- which isn't the same thing.

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.

Hey, do any of you remember where you read about him quitting his job to become a musician? I've been curious to read a good biography of him, and the most extensive think i can find is the Wikipedia page.
