I don't really know what he means by this song, but at the line 'feel afraid to wait forever' I feel like he's saying that we should feel scared of life. Which sort of makes sense, since we're born we just go on and live our life without stopping to think twice about what we're in for. But he's saying that we should feel scared, we are just going to be waiting for our death, we get born and after a long time we die, so we are just waiting and we'll be waiting forever.
Well thats what I hear, it's such a great song, I almost die when the chorus comes on! ndlkdwedlqskwldkasfghl sobs It's so good!
@lookingglasspear i know steven wilson can sometimes be very bleak to the point where i am too naive to notice where other fans immediately key in to what he is saying, but i am not so sure that is the case here. It seems to me he is saying that you should only feel afraid to wait forever to do what you should have done when you were alive. thats the ONLY thing you should be afraid of (well not the only thing but for effect in this instance thats how ill phrase it) nothing in life should be scary...
