Arriving Somewhere But not Here by Porcupine Tree

Another masterpiece by Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere but not Here. It is part of Album Deadwing which is part of a wide project that in the intention has been lead to a film on the subject treated.

King Crimson's Adrian Belew plays the second guitar solo on Arriving Somewhere But Not Here.

The complete concept and story of Deadwing of which Arriving Somewhere But not Here is part has never been entirely announced by Porcupine Tree, and this is likely due to Steven Wilson's intentions of attempting to turn this into a movie, and not wanting to spoil any portions of the story.

Wilson said it is a surreal "ghost story," and "the idea's ultimately that this album will form a kind of companion with the feature film."[10]He stated that David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick were major influences for the filmscript.

Arriving Somewhere But Not Here Lyrics

Never stop the car on a drive in the dark
Never look for the truth in your mother's eyes
Never trust the sound of rain upon a river
Rushing through your ears

Arriving somewhere but not here

Did you imagine the final sound as a gun?
Or the smashing windscreen of a car?
Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song?

All my designs, simplified
And all of my plans, compromised
All of my dreams, sacrificed

Ever had the feeling you've been here before?
Drinking down the poison the way you were taught
Every thought from here on in your life begins
And all you knew was wrong?

Arriving somewhere but not here

All my designs, simplified
And all of my plans, compromised
All of my dreams, sacrificed

Did you see the red mist block your path?
Did the scissors cut a way to your heart?
Did you feel the envy for the sons of mothers tearing you apart?
