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
Arriving somewhere
But not here
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?
Arriving somewhere
But not here
All my designs
Simplified
And all of my plans
Compromised
And all of my dreams
Sacrificed
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?
Arriving somewhere
But not here
All my designs
Simplified
And all of my plans
Compromised
And all of my dreams
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?
Arriving somewhere
But not here
Never look for the truth in your mother's eyes
Never trust the sound of rain upon a river
Rushing through your ears
Arriving somewhere
But not here
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?
Arriving somewhere
But not here
All my designs
Simplified
And all of my plans
Compromised
And all of my dreams
Sacrificed
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?
Arriving somewhere
But not here
All my designs
Simplified
And all of my plans
Compromised
And all of my dreams
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?
Arriving somewhere
But not here

one more thing that amazes me about this song: gavin harrison must have died from boredom while playing this in the studio. he keeps it so very simple. a drummer of lesser skill would definitely have tried to fill it up more.
Hey Ledaeth, was thinking a similar thought... his playing is spare but damned spot on! so crisp and perfect timing, simple yet insistant. Have listened to some of Gavin's other works and can just imagine him playing this much differently, but it works so well here.
