Cover art for Pariah lyrics by Steven Wilson

To me this song suggests two people in a relationship. one possibly perceived as a social reprobate or a 'Pariah' at some point in his/her life. going through midlife crisis. The personality traits that once endeared them to each other are now viewed as weakness & feel of clay. The sizzling love life has become a source of comfort to each other. The monotony of the daily grind has taken its toll on their health & zest for life. but they resolve to be there for each other
