Katatonia – Second Lyrics

3 years ago

@[Greatoraint:41619] 100%. Back in 2014 I was focusing on my career and an app I was trying to make...and this song made me realize I wasn\'t nurturing my deep friendships enough. My best friend was 5 hours away....so I made a conscious effort to visit every couple months or so. I didn\'t want to live with the regret of losing a friend because of my obsessions.\r\n\r\nMany years later and we\'ve followed each other to bigger success.

Porcupine Tree – Normal Lyrics

7 years ago

@[headphonedust:26400] Wow. I can definetly see that now thinking about it. I can relate a bit. My childhood was full of bullying and never fitting in. Never really having too many friends. My home life was very loved, but most of your days as a kid is spent in school. As an adult, I never 100% adjusted to being social with others. I want to, but I'm really bad at it. A lot of this comes back to anxiety and fear of inadequacy for so many years. Now with a job/career, car, etc...yesh. I don't really have much to be sentimental about. Most of my sentimental memories are college. That's why I actually want to start a family/kids. Build sentimental memories. But I get the song's intent. That building the 'normal life' creates the same darts as before. His kids have led the same pitfalls he did, and his married life is in shambles. Now he leads a meaningless life of repetition, the same sort of life being 'stoned in the mall'? Maybe building a life to reject the past is not the appropriate path?

Katatonia – Inheritance Lyrics	13 years ago
I know it has nothing to do with the song, but everytime I listen to it, I feel reminded of the obscene amounts of greed and decadence that has been laid to waste by the prior generation of individuals leading the world. The old have spoiled the land, spoiling the sacrifices of their fathers, leaving their descendants to pick up the flames.

Porcupine Tree – Bonnie the Cat Lyrics	15 years ago
One random thing: Does anyone else notice that the thumping chorus at the end is the same as The Grand Conjuration or am I making random correlations?!
