Dislocated Day Lyrics
A dislocated day
Peers in to the ether
Counts the stars inside the sky
And flies in to the never
Looped around my eyelids
A thousand shining flecks
Pale against the canvas
Which hangs around my neck
Dislocated day
I will find a way
To make you say
The name of your forgiver
Stood beside an inlet
A starfish leads a dance
It dreams it is a human
And falls into a trance
A hole inside my body
Is wired up to a charge
Chemical imbalance
Tells me who you are
Insects hide the silence
November brings deep rain
Between the flow to freezing
And yesterday's sustain
Peers in to the ether
Counts the stars inside the sky
And flies in to the never
A thousand shining flecks
Pale against the canvas
Which hangs around my neck
I will find a way
To make you say
The name of your forgiver
A starfish leads a dance
It dreams it is a human
And falls into a trance
Is wired up to a charge
Chemical imbalance
Tells me who you are
November brings deep rain
Between the flow to freezing
And yesterday's sustain

Anyone know what the phone conversation is at the end? I get the impression it's one of Wilson's colleagues calling him up about an ending to the song he's thought up, saying how it could be interesting, and so Wilson used THAT for the ending instead :).
Wilson's is the voice on the phone. The song itself seems to act as the voice mail or something. Before the song begins, we hear the phone ringing from the caller's point of view, then the song, then Wilson hanging up after leaving a message. It is also possible that the song is an outgoing message that the caller (Wilson) hears before leaving a message (you know how many people have music as their outgoing messages???) The person that he is calling is not answering...so he is dislocated. ...and then we hear the message that Wilson leaves...One...

Before that I believe I hear the word "guitar" being spoken in reference to the ending of the song (the song ends with guitar alone). It is Wilson calling a band mate or studio engineer and leaving a message. The message involves an idea for a song and Wilson is calling someone (Maybe Richard) in order to get an opinion of his idea. The "interesting ending" is the voice mail suggesting that the ending of the song should be a voice mail suggesting an interesting ending. ;-P
these lyrics are fuc*ing amazing. i have no idea what it means though
what a travesty, no one has commented on this song. I think it's pretty funky and cool. makes ya wanna bob back and forth. lol
i haven't read the lyrics enough to understand what it means, obviously something about a day being dislocated haha
the sky moves sideways is such a killer album
Porcupine Tree blows my mind.
