This one hits home with me, so i understood it from the get go and many of james' songs are about this very upbringing, it's common knowledge he's got daddy issues... however, he never got the chance to get back at his father. Born to push you around You better just stay down You pull away He hits the flesh [ daddy is abusive ] You hit the ground Mouths so full of lies [ he tells you it won't happen again ] Tend to black your eyes Just keep them closed Keep praying Just keep waiting [waiting for the day you can get back at him ] Waiting for the one The day that never comes [where he gets revenge] When you stand up and feel the warmth but the sunshine never comes No the sunshine never comes Push you cross that line Just stay down this time Hide in yourself Crawl in yourself You'll have your time God I'll make them pay [ either both parents sucked, or he was bullied ] Take it back one day I'll end this day I'll splatter color on this gray [ kill him, his blood on your grey life ] Love is a four letter word And never spoken here [this isn't love, it's abuse] |

| Porcupine Tree – Arriving Somewhere But Not Here Lyrics | 15 years ago |

After reading the comments that caught my eye, I wasn't satisfied and did about 5minutes research and came up with this: Deadwing is an album written to either accompany or replace a script for the movie deadwing, which is currently a project trying to get off the ground. The details of the lyric meanings have been heavily guarded by the band as they don't want to ruin the plot. But.. It was let slip at a concert that one of the deadwing songs was about a conversation between son and mother, where the mother is speaking from the grave. Add in the fact that the lyrics/script have been heavily influenced by Hitchcock and Kubrik, I'm thinking the mother is an antagonist.... Never stop the car on a drive in the dark Never look for the truth in your mother's eyes Never trust the sound of rain upon a river rushing Through your ears [looks like a scene from the movie, possibly a car crash into a river, and she was intoxicated somehow, causing it..] Arriving somewhere but not here [ wishing he hadn't been born from her ] Could you imagine the final sound as a gun Or the smashing windscreen of a car? Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out Was a song? [ he asks if she can hear him, if she thought she would have died differently ] Chorus: All my designs, simplified And all of my plans, comprimised And all of my dreams, sacrificed [ everything ruined because of his mother ] Ever had the feeling you've been here before? Drinking down the poison the way you were taught Ever thought from here on in your life begins And all you knew was wrong? [ he is speaking to himself here, forced to the drink like she was, and has suffer her past, wishing he could start over ] Did you see the redness block your part? Did the scissors cut a way to your heart? Did you feel the end before the sons of mothers Tearing you apart? [ hospital bed scene, blood clot maybe, and the irony of sons who came from good mothers now get to cut into her ] |
