Porcupine Tree Lyrics

    ------ About the song Arriving Somewhere But Not Here performed by Porcupine Tree

The other reviews here sum up the majority of my thoughts. So instead I will state what I'm sure many are thinking while reading these reviews.

Why are there so little reviews?
It must mean that the most magical things in life are seen by only the few who seek it.

    ------ About the song The Sound Of Muzak performed by Porcupine Tree

I think a lot of people underestimate gavin. Yeh the guitar solo is great, but the man's timing, and just utter creativeness when it comes to contributing to the songwriting from the drumming perspective is genius. Great inspiration to me :)

    ------ About the song Arriving Somewhere But Not Here performed by Porcupine Tree

This was the first song I ever heard from Porcupine Tree. It is still my favourite and as has been said before it's the shortest 13 min song ever! I could play in a loop and just be taken away to the movie in my mind. I'm 46 years old and only heard of the band this year - Oh my wasted life!

    ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree

This song makes me blubber like a teenage girl watching Titanic.

Love songs are always so trite that I've become dead to them. This song reminds me of the first time I fell in love, when the whole earth couldn't contain how huge what I felt was, how massively human I was. Thank you, Porcupine Tree, for reminding me what life was like before I became so calloused.

    ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree

I just cant believe how the hell did he wrote this masterpiece? Sometimes the human mind can be brilliant! This song can be related to me in so many ways. That's because I've been in love with my cousin with 4 years now and i think this song is about a love for his cousin. But i think the whole thing with trains is just a metaphor. Like a train track was near his cousin's house maybe? You know sometimes a memory of some one can be attached to an object,smell,sound etc. So every time he hears a train or see's one, he's reminded of his cousin. There's so many verses that supports this idea i think.. Like when he says

"When I hear the engine pass
I'm kissing you wide"

He's just imagining that he's kissing his cousin when the train passes.

"When the evening reaches here
You're tying me up
I'm dying of love
It's OK"

This verse is basically the best verse I've seen about unrequited love. At the peak of his emotions thus "evening" she ties him up, which means she's shutting him off. Next two lines are self explanatory i guess. He's dying of keeping his love to himself.
Anyway just my way him seeing this :) Sorry if i bore you guys to death. Love for a cousin is hard. I wish she would understand :(

    ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree

This song is absolutely one of the most heart-wrenchingly beautiful and darkest songs I've ever heard. I would have to agree with those who say the song is a love song, and those who say its about witnessing tragedy. Porcupine Tree's album " The Incident " is tied in with him witnessing a car accident as a child and how much it actually impacted his life. I would say that Trains is a childs eye view of a derailed tragedy, and possibly a lesson taken of not taking love for granted... even if it's only going to last for a few seconds.

    ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree

The girl I love introduced me to this band. I kind of hated it and felt it was just too long and too empty. But then I started to actually listen to it, then when I heard Gravity Eyelids from the In Absentia album I was totally hooked up. Then I heard the Deadwig album and loved it. Particularly Arriving Somewhere But Not Here. I love how Porcupine Tree combines a lot of genres, its soft and sweet i ome moment and then it's the most powerful and heavy beat in the world.
I will die hearing them. I love them.

    ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree

It's amazing how such simple and powerful lyrics can support an epic 6 minute song... I first discovered this song during a bad break up so every time I hear it, it gives me chills. This is a prime example of what music should do for you...

    ------ About the song The Sound Of Muzak performed by Porcupine Tree

Porcupine Tree is a Band worth listening before you die.Steven Wilson in particular is a genius in way to write such Lyrics of great meaning and giving it a tune lik this for example is simply superb and GENIUS...just go through the lyrics n see if you can give it a new tune altogether...n the fact dat this guy writes lyrics of such superb meanings along with the gift of good Guitaring and Vocals its a shame that he is much underrated then his worth.This song introduced me to P.T. and Blackfeild (his other band) and the songs of the album Inabsentia in particular are of the highest level.So i conclude with this words....GREAT SONG...KEEP SUPPORTING STEVEN WILSON

Porcupine Tree music is on another level from most of the out there. This song is simple and yet so intricately awesome. That's the beauty of Porcupine Tree. Poignant sound design infused music with energy and genuine feeling.
