Porcupine Tree – In Formaldehyde Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this song is about a married couple breaking up.

The lines "When I get out of here, you get the keys to the car and I get a plastic vase" say to me that his wife takes most of his possessions with her as part of the divorce

And then,"Or do you want me to stay? The things that I have to say, you've heard it all anyway" is his vain hope for their relationship to stay together

The last 3 lines, "You never seem to take the time to contemplate before your annihilate" supports that his wife is essentially a bitch who only thinks about herself.

That's what I got out of it anyway.
