It's about how he lost his girlfriend, but also about experiences with drugs, but then he found god, and oh, there's a dark secret too. |

Devin Townsend is good. But his lyrics are still repetitive, unimaginative, obtrusive psychobabble. His "lyrics" are like some guy on a party just rambling about whatever crap comes to mind. His music is hardly different but still impressive. |

Porcupine Tree songs often seem to have several possible meanings. Anyway, I think the flood of rape interpretators are mostly trolls and idiot. |

Steven Wilson is the edgiest songwriter I know (extreme metal doesn't compare as it's rarely very serious). He cannot write a straightforward beautiful songs (though it always seems that way) without it having the gravest often cynical depths. |

The whole album makes a slightly forced impression from lyrics to its story of creation. The lyrics especially look like automatic writing. At least there's is still some great musicianship and Shine can easily be counted among the band's classic songs. |

Well, and "dancer" because it could be a lyrical paraphrase for a musician's Jesus (whereas the ulotimate musician would of course be god) that's also not so in-your-face and therefore more interesting. (I'm not religious at all, btw., but I wouldn't be surprised if Dio and Tommy Iommi would (have) be(en).) |

The overall gist is pretty clear I think. Everything has a bit of heaven and hell in it. Everything's confusion, but don't give up looking for the truth and the answer to life. Most of it is just colourful illustration.
This line is a little unclear, perhaps:
"Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer"
Given that the second part follows to "love", maybe the dancer is representative of Jesus, and the "nobody bleeds for the dancer" therefore as a refutation of the first part would mean that the dancer had to bleed for himself, so it sort of didn't work out that well with love as the answer, but it's still open as one possibility.
I'm not one who randomly interprets every song either as about god, drugs, or girlfriends, but in this case Jesus seemed logical. |

"You trade in his blood
Writing your history
In the sacrifices of the dead"
I wonder if they're angry at historians for delivering them material to write songs about... ah, these extreme metal bands are a weird bunch. |
