| Chroma Key – Get Back in the Car Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
This seems to be about a man that wants to talk to someone but this person never answers his calls. So he fantasizes about kidnapping them, telling himself the story and changing it as he goes along. (He confuses the first two lines, then say's he's certain). In the story there's this man whose car is running on fumes, and is waiting to ambush someone with a shotgun. He's paranoid and the headlights makes him see things, so he turns it off. There's a bit when the other person is already inside the car, trying to escape. The chorus seems to be him repeating to himself to stop imagining theses things (or maybe stop anticipating things in a negative way - maybe the person will eventually answer the phone). The lyricist is a master at describing thoughts visually. |

| Porcupine Tree – Drown with Me [*] Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This is a longshot, but here goes: -a deceiving, killer who tricks another killer to commit suicide with him, but stays alive. Man muses the notion of having the company of this woman, suggesting they'll enjoy each other, because they're similar. The woman has killed her family and is in a state of mixed confusion and regret. He is a seasoned killer himself, and he actually thinks that her dying would bring her peace, so he uses this discourse to convince her of drowning. She probably drowned her family. He will either drown her or leave her in a shallow pool "resting in a stream" after killed. He observes that she is decaying in life (metaphorically drowning), and implies that he is as well (possibly as a blind persuasion). So he suggests that they just go ahead and finally drown (this time literally - meaning he'll die with her), but actually he never intended to die - as seen by the marks his car left in a hurry where he dumped her body. |

| Porcupine Tree – I Drive the Hearse Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Just wanna add something.. Recently I watched "Harold and Maude", and Harold is a young man who constantly fantasizes he's dead. He attends to funerals, and eventually buys a hearse. When his rich mother sells the car and replaces it for a beautiful Jaguar, he converts it into a hearse as well... Maybe Steven got some inspiration from this? On another hand, if the character really is a gravedigger or hearse driver ["Not sure why no one said this, but "When I'm lost I dig the dirt" probably refers to digging a grave, no?"], the movie as inspiration would make little sense. | |
