Porcupine Tree - Strip The Soul Lyrics






This is my home, this is my own, we don't like no strangers
Raise the kids good, beat the kids good and tie them up
Spread it wide, my wife, my life, push the camera deeper
I can use, I abuse, my muse, I made them all

This machine
Is there to please
Strip the soul
Fill the hole
A fire to feed
A belt to bleed
Strip the soul
Kill them all

They are not gone, they are not gone, they are only sleeping
In graves, in ways, in clay, underneath the floor
Building walls, overalls, getting bored, I got faulty wiring
Brick it up now, brick it up now, but keep the bones

(Do you want a western home in the rubble?)

  14. T.... M....

    Amazing song. Reminds me very much of a song tool would make

    T.... M....

    Tech Metal But only Porcupine Tree could incorporate pop into their music and get away with it (Blackest Eyes).

  15. J.... Y....

    I see The Wilson Flock burning Bridges ... Again Steve ?

  17. H.... P....

    Music that is as terrifying as the reality it mirrors. That is musical and artistic genius. This could be the soundtrack if they made a movie about it. Like a train wreck we find it morbid but at the same time we can't stop looking...strip the soul...kill them all...RIP Heather Ann West, I love you sweet angel.

  18. j.... m....

    j.... m....

  19. L.... R....

    The lyrics really reminds me the children murderer Albert Fish, as if stripping the soul is exactly what he did to his victims

    L.... R....

    This guy sounds like a real jerk!

  20. K.... D....

  22. A.... K....

    4:35 - 5:06 I always get an orgasm every time I hear that lol!

    A.... K....

    me too.

    A.... K....

    That sound is such a Porcupine Tree trademark hah I fucking love it.

  23. U.... S....

    Top 50 of all time.

  24. M.... O....

    ps, I passed a steaming dump that was more original than this noise. p u

    M.... O....

    O.K., I'll bite: Musta been SOME original dump, eh?

    M.... O....

    The song works as a whole. But plenty of the riffs seems less than original. Its not something worth startin a youtube flamewar over to be honest.

    M.... O....

    You obviously aren't a musician Mr. Dump

  25. D.... N....

    About Fred West

  26. S.... S....

    Love the heaven's gate sample in this

  27. S.... J....

    Sweet!!

  28. P.... P....

    This song sound so "grunge", expecially from 3:20 to the end: at 3:40 reminds me "Dirty Frank" of Pearl Jam (with a little bit of funk) and at 5:30 Alice in chains are back.

    P.... P....

    Going to be honest i have no idea what you just said

    P.... P....

    +kilbo98 he's in a band, they sound like pearl jam, their clothes are all black, their music is crap!

    P.... P....

    +Aditya A ha ha ha... well said 😂

    P.... P....

    Lot of stuff going on with PT. It's progressive rock & they were all those bands and more. Much more.

    P.... P....

    >And at 5:30 Alice in chains are back.
    Comment of them all. This deserves an award. XD

  29. M.... O....

    this is very lame

    M.... O....

    +The Cat's Reflection A succinct recap of my impression, that's what you got. If you need 5 paragraphs to say something sucks, you're in trouble.

    M.... O....

    bangem andleavem sorry your opinion is incorrect

    M.... O....

    nobody asked you, fuckin douche

    M.... O....

    Ha ha ha

    M.... O....

    More like completely badass.

  30. E.... �....

    Ok this song is damn sweet

    E.... �....

    come on, let's be honest here. this song is warped, twisted and fkn scary. ONLY PT can do this right.

  31. s.... c....

    damn     that shit is pretty ...   yea

  32. W.... G....

    5:31 In my humble opinion this part of the song demonstrates true atmosphere, it is a lot darker, more menacing, more meaningful than 99% of so-called heavy music!

    W.... G....

    More visceral. More honest.

    W.... G....

    Very true & I'm a metalhead.

    W.... G....

    A lot of background stuff going on.

    W.... G....

    That’s the part that unfortunately I never heard them play live - always replaced with Dot Three. And that’s the song that introduced me to PT and SW back in 2001 totally unexpectedly as a pop up advertising window emerged on my PC and this started playing: Mesmerized!

  33. T.... ....

    definitely PT's heaviest song, and one of their best! I love it how this crushingly dark song is followed immediately on the CD by the beautiful Collapse The Light Into Earth. Such a respite, a change of pace from the hauntingly dark sound of this (brilliant ) track

    T.... ....

    TheAdam159 ever heard of a song called the blind house.??

    T.... ....

    Wedding Nails, Fear Of A Blank Planet (track), Tinto Brass all kick mighty ass too! ♫

    T.... ....

    Albedo follows the negredo maybe

    T.... ....

    Aye futile is heavier.

    T.... ....

    Anything off The Incident is heavier musically, but not lyrically.

  34. F.... f....

    This song is good on so many levels!!! <3
