Cover art for Postcard lyrics by Steven Wilson

In the Grace for Drowning book, there's a man laying on the kitchen floor, a bottle and a bunch of pills on floor to his side.

So I also believe this song is about someone who lost someone and eventually became so depressed, the person turned to suicide.

I don't think this is auto-biographical but it seems like Steven wanted to write a song that his depressed or suicidal fans could relate to. And then thought it would be nice to include a radio-friendly song on the album which doesn't have many radio-friendly songs at all and use that as a single. It's a beautiful song. Steven's music has really helped through the really tough stuff I've gone through these past couple months.
