Cover art for Collapse The Light Into Earth lyrics by Porcupine Tree

i obviously think it about a break up, how ever, i get the methaphore of "collapse the light into earth" like some sort of lonelyness, now the light is shinning (collapsing) in the spot (earth) where his lover should be now.

i dont know about you, but i dont thinkg that the meanning is THAT sinnister, i think it is just sad:

"I won't shiver in the cold"----(he won't feel anything because of his pain) "I won't let the shadows take their toll" (like he is not going to forget her, or let anything to take his picture out of his head) "I won't cover my head in the dark" (he wont hide his sadness) "And I won't forget you when we part" (simply that...)

Collapse the Light Into Earth

I won't heal given time (the pain is so hard) I won't try to change your mind (he accept his girlfriends decision) I won't feel better in the cold light of day (it doesnt matter how bright the day is, he will still fell sad) but I wouldn't stop you if you wanted to stay (maybe he thinks that it was necessary to break up too, but he loves her so much that it doesnt matter anything else)

Collapse the Light Into Earth

excelent and beautiful song ever!

It's not a breakup song. It's about how the serial killer is finally cornered by the police, he's nearing his end but begs his final victim to stay with him.
