"He once said the film Crash was about people who "got off" on car crashes......" He was correct, it is: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115964/ Anyway, awesome song. I don't think there's a deep meaning, just referencing the film and trying to be surreal. |

| Aloha – summer away Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
there seem to be several mistakes here, some of which affect the meaning of the song in small but significant ways. Here are the lyrics as I hear them: In the town of your youth On some famous road Or boulevard or lane Or boulevard or lane There's a lilac tree Named after you An unfamiliar child Get's to see it bloom From his bedroom And he rides in his mother's car It's big as hell They're on their way Line em up to be replaced In a house lived a dog Not a healer or saint He'd warm the house with his welcome wag And in his howl I'd hear him say "I won't run away" But where is he now? He left us alone He has a new home Oh yeah, a new home He's gone What were you protecting us from? What were you protecting us from anyway? Line em up to be replaced Our teacher in the second grade She taught us all the names Of the presidents and states Of the presidents and states But after a summer away She forgot hours And where is she now? With kids half our age They can't know To be wound and then let go They wind you up then let you go All my friends can’t wait to quit Who’s the next one on the list? All my friends can’t wait to leave and I I won’t stand for it I won’t get used to it Follow me out the door These still might not be 100% accurate but as far as I can tell they are closer than what's been posted. |

| Porcupine Tree – How Is Your Life Today? Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It seems extremely obvious to me, and it has nothing to do with killing his wife. I guess you could kinda say it's about the narrator losing it, but not the way Wolven meant. It's about a guy that is depressed because his significant other has left him. The first verse explains that he doesn't care about the mail or anything, he cancelled the milk, he's just sitting around being depressed all the time. The neighbors can tell that she's left him because they don't hear her voice anymore and he's letting things go. Then the second verse is remembering the day she left him, when she coldly kissed him goodbye while the taxi waited outside "like a getaway car" to take her away. Now he's alone (cept for the cat) and depressed, and maybe going a little crazy. The title/chorus is like him missing her and wondering how/where she is in life now that she's left him. | |
