| Marillion – The Web Lyrics

The Web is about solitude and the feeling of solitude. Isolation and the feeling of isolation for whatever reason. "I'm the cyclops in the tenement". I'm a "one eyed" man who can't see beyond the solitude of my confinements. The web is the life that we weave for ourself. "Confidence has deserted me, with you it has forsaken me" Unrequited feelings? Not having the confidence to profess your true feelings? "Confused and dejected, despised and alone".. I kiss isolation on its fevered brow"....I will always be alone. But it finishes on a positive note. "I've conquered my fears". "All my fears"....This song was and is my song because it meant so much to me when I was struggling with my sexuality...And when you come to terms with life..."Thus ends the web!" |

I completely agree. You have it right Tine. "The fool who escaped from paradise" It is about regret. "She kissed her prince and found her frog". Deep deep regret |

I would not call it disgust. I would call it a pretty accurate description of the people who are supposed to be "upper" class. I would call it a first class observation of the behaviour of the people who believe that public image is more important than the feelings of the individual members of the family. "Social climbers polish ladders. Wayward sons again have fathers". It's not rocket science. Fish has no gripe agains the upper classes. Just pretentiousness |

| Marillion – Warm Wet Circles Lyrics

I think the song is an observation of the inexperience of youth. It is obviously about the effects of alcohol but goes further than that. "On promenades, where drunks propose to lonely arcade mannnequins". But it goes deeper than alcoholism. It goes into the feelings. "Teenage girls like gaudy moths". Girls make themselves up to look attractive. They're looking for love. The men are looking to get their rocks off. "The pool player (macho man) rests on another cue, last night's hero (he got laid) picking up his due". He's "resting on his cue". He's taking the plaudits from his male friends because he got the shag and they didn't. "She'll take the mother's kiss on her first broken heart". It meant more to her than it did to him and somebody will need to pick up the pieces. He promised her the world to get inside her knickers. "A bullet hole in central park" I think is a reference to the murder of John Lennon. "She'll realise that she played her part in a warm wet circle". Eventaully, she will see that whatever happened, she fell for it. She will end up another f***ed up individual because of it. Cynical and bitter |
