Abandoner Lyrics

Cover art for Abandoner lyrics by Steven Wilson

This song is about being cheated on

The other half is somewhere else. (the other half is his partner) A play in the dark, (they are playing in the dark - having sex) Whines like dogs. (the noises they make during sex)

I am restless, I am lost. (wondering about where they are and what they are doing) Time freezes all. Flawless eyes. (time drags on while they are gone, their makeup was flawless when they went out)

Your rope you used to tie yourself, (I think this verse is his imaginings of their actions) dreams into planes, scatter remains.

I reach for you, denied your touch. (self explanatory) Snow starts to blind, I confide. (the avalanche of confrontation begins)

My Interpretation
