Porcupine Tree was born in 1987 as a psychedelic, experimental, and progressive music outlet for the home studio explorations of Steven Wilson. In fact, Wilson had already been making music for several years, as a musically precocious teenager who taught himself to play guitar and keyboards, and whose early tape releases with bands such as Altamont and Karma had already become known in the London musical underground (these tapes, which included early versions of later PT tracks like "Nine Cats," "Small Fish," and "This Long Silence," would eventually become highly-valued collectables, a circumstance Wilson describes as "a bit like a painter having his nursery school blots exhibited". In 1987, Wilson started two projects that would take him into the professional More... (Submit New Porcupine Tree Lyrics) (Submit New Porcupine Tree Lyrics) Review about Porcupine Tree my interpretation | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree It's about a train being derailed, but seen from a certain viewpoint. It's from the view of a child looking out of the window from his cousin's bedroom while visiting. From his window he see's a train derailed and fall down a hill or from a bridge. "A 60 ton angel falls to the earth, pile of old metal, radiant blur." It's more like a memory though. As though the songwriter was the child and is remembering seeing this horrible event and contemplating what it means in terms of life and death. "Always the summers are slipping away." Amazing. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song My Ashes performed by Porcupine Tree Love this song so much, been listening to Porcupine tree for a year an only just got the FOABP album. Amazing work guys, looking forward to the incident :) One of a few songs that i've heard that sound happy an sad at the same time! There is no such thing, as 'normal' | Reviewer: The Blackened Shadow ------ About the song Normal performed by Porcupine Tree There is not a single person on this earth that we can define as 'normal'. Such a term shouldn't even exist to describe someone because it's as clear as day, that we are all infact, not normal. We all have our own unique personalities to define our differences. Admittedly, there are those, who try to put it out there, to the rest of the world that they are normal but that could be a means of not wanting to know who they really are or what they could be. I don't know what normal is either. But nor do I wan't to know.. I'll take my chances in life, by being different. A note to add | Reviewer: Johanne Strickland ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree Like Andy, Trains is my favourite song by Porcupine Tree (closely followed by Arriving Somewhere But Not Here, Lazarus and Radioactive Toy!), and I will add the following as a tip for fellow lovers of this song: If you can, get hold of the live version from the 2005 concert in Köln (Cologne)! They ended the concert with it, and it is absolutely BREATHTAKING! Amazing! Spectacular! | Reviewer: Ssyba ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree The first time I heard this song was at a lunch-time concert at school for my year's music class. The most amazing guy ever was playing this with the guitar teacher and he was singing and I had never heard anything by this band before but I immediately fell in love with the song (his voice may have had something to do with that) but this song is so amazing and wonderful. It's so perfect in every way. Nothing could make it better.... except that I prefer listening to the guy in my year singing it :P Perfection | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree I cannot find another word that describes this song. Listening to it takes you to another world. It is a defenite proof that music does not have to be advanced to be good, this is simple and still better than most song I have ever heard. Heard it for the first time today. | Reviewer: Michela Straken ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree A very lovely boy sent me this song today. He said I had to hear it and I totally understand why. It's wonderfully expressive and brilliantly written. I'd never heard Porcupine Tree before but will definately be getting more. I get why they're his favourite band. good song, couldn't say it better | Reviewer: Kevin ------ About the song Fear Of A Blank Planet performed by Porcupine Tree Another great song by Porcupine Tree. And its message is entirely too correct. Life is just another piece of shit they try to sell you on TV. No one in this commercial place of America is really living. We're boring. We're fucking nothing. and a great love song | Reviewer: Mina ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree Not only the beautiful things the people before me mentioned above, but it is also a beautiful love song. somebody asked what it is about. to me it makes perfect sense. it describes how it is to love someone who is far away from you and you get to meet her/him after a long trip to get to them. it uses such simple words, but the feeling is so clear. A lovely song, definitely my fav from PP. just a thought... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Collapse The Light Into Earth performed by Porcupine Tree I've always admired these lyrics. I think perhaps they are words some of us would want to say at times, but cannot. One thing that seemed to catch my eye is the title lyric... and abbreviated, resonates phonetically - perhaps - the phrase "see the lie" (C the L I E) Whether meant or not, it certain rings quite a sad note. am i here? | Reviewer: kevin ------ About the song Normal performed by Porcupine Tree I have asperger's syndrome. i know this song isn't about asperger's it's more about drugs instead, but i can really relate... i feel so invisible and strange compared to everyone else and i don't get it at all. i definitely don't feel normal. i do take prescription drugs for depression, and any sort of "restraining order" would be a combo of anxiety and asperger's and social inhibition that just makes me inable to talk to anyone else at all. especially in today's world, where everyone is really shallow and can only see people for what they own and who a person really is just doesn't matter--and i'm trying to be myself in a world that forces conformity, it is so, so, so hard, i try to be myself and i try to be someone else at the same time and either way i can't just be me and let it be. so what is normal? i don't know. Halo, | Reviewer: Jadey ------ About the song Halo performed by Porcupine Tree is such an awesome song. Steven Wilson is great on the vocals and when they perform it live it's even more awesome than on the album. Porcupine Tree really has a vibrant energy radiating from every song they make. It's one of their best achievements Thank you Steven Wilson | Reviewer: Jon H ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree No words desribe how good this song is other than those Mr Wilson wrote for the song itself! So, if you haven't heard the song go buy the album, if you have it chances are you'll already have the song playing! Wonderful work Steven ... may you write more like this for many albums more! :) Phenomenal | Reviewer: ALEX ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree This song is absolutely, the pinnacle of what a lyrically and instrumental genius should sound like, its moving, i play it numerous times. i find it has almost a charm about it. Warms my heart whenever the final verse plays. If theres a person who hasn't heard this i would recommend no matter what stereotype, genres of music they listen too. that they listen to it. i believe its impressive to the masses. in other words fuckin brilliant Perfect, haunting and beautifully obscure.. | Reviewer: Andy Blacksword ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree Trains is my favorite Porcupine Tree song. I only discovered In Absentia about a year ago, and this track still gets played almost every day. I love it, it brings a lump to my throat, but I have to ask, what exactly is it about? PLEASE, can someone tell me..! "Amazing" doesn't seem to cut it. | Reviewer: Tyler ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree Trains defies everything I've come to know about traditional song writing. Normally, when you listen to a song for the first time, you obviously don't know exactly what to expect, but usually the typical song writer is limited to certain boundaries that are not often surpassed. But when listening to Trains for the first time, it's as if writer Steven Wilson was somewhere far above the human race, and was able to reach places the human mind has never imagined. The result is something truly original, very beautiful, highly touching, an overall masterpiece. whole song | Reviewer: Alex Lafond ------ About the song The Sound Of Muzak performed by Porcupine Tree This song starts out great. Great beat, great guitar lead. And when we go into the first versus, we get the feeling of the song. The next few lines are meaningful of this song. We come into the pre-chorus and then you start to know were this song is going to go. We get to the chorus and the sense of what their saying is getting to you. the song continues with a great second versus. a repeat of the chorus happens. GREAT guatair solo. Perfect! Truly deep. | Reviewer: Nat ------ About the song Trains performed by Porcupine Tree Every time I listen to this song it brings me in to nostalgic, wishful, and memorable state of mind. as was said, the whole CD is absolutely amazing, but this song is the true epitome of quintessential, a must hear. Actual lyrics to this song | Reviewer: Rosie ------ About the song Space Transmission performed by Porcupine Tree Any self- respecting Porcupine Tree fan knows that there are actually lyrics to "Space Transmission". So here they are: You must listen very carefully to what I have to say, there isn’t much time because you know who has consumed all the instruments. For many eons now I have been trapped on this planet. He is keeping me here against my will, and sometimes when I press my ear up very close to the concrete, I can hear his daughters sobbing laughter. Either I am blind, or I have been in darkness ever since the sun exploded fourteen centuries ago. A few hours ago he who keeps me here visits at me saying: “God! Why do the millions worship you instead of I? Am I not more powerful, or forgiving and truly compassionate?” A black liquid was seeping uncontrollably from my mouth. And all I could do was babble incomprehensibly about a dream I had many moons ago. In it a clock ticked constantly, maddening my senses. That was all, but it lasted for many days until each tick seemed like fragments of glass, piercing my scales. He who keeps me here tells me that one day I will return to earth, and then I will seek my revenge. There's something about this song... | Reviewer: Interius ------ About the song Arriving Somewhere But Not Here performed by Porcupine Tree I've never quite been able to grasp those fragments that makes this song the mystery it is to me. It might be the unexplainable feeling I get being promoted through the lyrics, combined with the instrumental geniality that Steven Wilson and the rest of the band provides. Personally, I think that this song has something to do with life, death and the afterlife. Mostly the afterlife, seeing as the lines "Ever thought from here on in your life begins and all you knew was wrong?" might suggest that the "you"-person in this song is arriving in The Afterlife, which happens to be a simplified, compromised and distorted version of the life that person was living before, and that it's quite similar to the dreams that person has had. Correct me if you think I'm wrong, but that is the closest I get. Not only do these lyrics tell a story that can be broadened and pondered upon beyond ones wildest imagination -hell, they even make a brilliant script for a movie or novel! but they leave room for every mind with the capability the ingredients to philosophize over whatever they might think that this song is about. None the less, this song will always remain as my definition of a masterpiece, 'cause it is truly worthy of that title. I hope more of these will come from this band!
