Every now and then, I like to revisit some song lryics and post them.
It's been a while, but none have spoken to me lately... well, until this morning...
Today's selection is by the band, Porcupine Tree from their 2002 Albumn , In Absentia . The last track on the release is a very quiet, appropriate closer for the albumn that's filled with ups and downs, taking a grand journey thru Steven Wilson's songwriting.
"Collapse Light into Earth"
I won't shiver in the cold
I won't let the shadows take their toll
I won't cover my head in the dark
And I won't forget you when we part
Collapse the light into Earth
I won't heal.... given time
I won't try to change your mind
I won't feel better, in the cold light of day
But I wouldn't stop you, if you wanted to stay
Collapse the light into Earth
The song has many meanings ( for me at least ) interwoven into the very sparse lryics. I've taken the song's meaning as..
While I'm in terrible emotional pain and not sure how I could live without you... I won't die. It may feel like the end of the wold, but even if I never change and find that happiness, I have accepted that you can't be part of my life anymore.
It's a bleak outlook and when put with the music it really paints a sad final letter to someone.
More to come later
