Octane Twisted Lyrics
We go following sorrow to free your
Blood spilling out of the reeds there
Give me a sign I can breathe air
Blood flowing out of the stream there
(Give me something new, please... something I can love)
Blood spilling out of the reeds there
Give me a sign I can breathe air
Blood flowing out of the stream there

'Give me a sign I can breathe there' i think that should be: Give me a sign I can breathe in air
It goes like this, so says the Lyric booklet!
We go following sorrow to free your Blood spilling out of the reeds there Blood spilling out of the stream there Give me a sign I can breathe air
give me something new please, something I can love
an early favorite for me
reminds me of gravity eyelids
Any ideas on the meaning? I guess Ill start: Octane is a kind of fuel so it could be about a car, the song references blood flowing out of reeds and a river, so an sutomobile accident that occurred near a river?
im pretty sure this song is about a family that found a young girls body washed up in a river while on a fishing trip. If you look at the photography book that came with the special edition of the incident it portrays someone killing another person and dumping their body in a river. also in a couple interviews steven wilson has stated that one of the "incidents" described in the album is about the before mentioned family that found the washed up body.

Thx man, that makes a lot more sense, haha.

also in this song there is some kind of whisper at one point...anyone figured it out?
I read somewhere (I believe it was an interview with Steven, I'm not sure though) that it was based on a story he heard on the news about a family that went to go hang out at the river and found the body of a murdered girl.
Well, here's my take on it, I know from reading interview with Steven that he doesn't write in a linear fashion and even more so with The Incident. I also know he uses Babicz Guitars and they have produced a wonderful version call the OCTANE, which has a unique system of lowering and raising the strings over the strings for intonation setiings. The settings are adjdusted by "twisting" an allen key at the back of the guitar where the neck meets the body. I just wonder if the song title is a reference to the track before the lyrics were written/recorded and it just stuck??? Octane Twisted could also be a reference to the production methods used post recording...anyway...Enough pontification, anyone agree???
