Porcupine Tree - Synesthesia Lyrics






[Written by Steven Wilson]

I'm sending you a letter
Because I don't think there's much time
Time to clear the cobwebs
Time to bear the crime

It's only a number
It's only a death
Another soldier died in action
The telegram regrets

I'm lying on a stretcher
They're lying to my face
There's no-one left to help me
I'm just a waste of space

It's a matter of moments
I'll be dead before you've read
There's blood on the table
And my back is full of lead

    For blasting this track at a party, this is the version to play. For hanging out with a couple buddies smoking some trees, the original is better, it has MUCH better ambiance and the sounds have more balance overall. In this one, the drums take over the foreground instead of blending in with the rest of the music. Not a great remaster but still good.

  5. W.... F....

    Thanks for posting this! PT just rules the soundscape!  Must see them live!  (So good I can't post without overuse of exclamation points...)

  12. B.... ....

    @Kristina Ramos: It's a sequenced pattern of a synthesizer sample. Basically, you record the pattern or melody you want on the synth & use a sequencer to repeat the pattern on a loop. Hope this explains it!

  13. S.... E....

    It's probably some kind of xylophone or bell patch on a keyboard.

  14. G.... S....

    Every song is better with Gavin Harrison!!!

    G.... S....

    Thats why he is with KING CRIMSON now.

    G.... S....

    Chris Maitland are quite good too another style

    G.... S....

    @agt bruinsman Nope, he is with Pineapple Thief now, check them out, they're great ---> https://youtu.be/r8oWH0qBMVM

  15. K.... R....

    what instrument was used for the really trippy and hypnotic part that repeats over and over throughout the song? I know that's not very descriptive but I can't describe a sound :/

  16. K.... R....

    Keyboard with a bell sound.

    K.... R....

    K.... R....

  22. r.... ....

    one of my fave songs!!!

  23. J.... C....

    I would sacrifice my first child just to have 1/10 of the drumming ability of Gavin, he is truly my inspiration and also my idol. Porcupine Tree....lets just say i didn't just stop at a few albums, i own everything they have ever recorded, written, and composed along with solo and side projects...contact me if you are interested in any collectors items for i have plenty i will be selling here soon.

    J.... C....

    _"I would sacrifice my first child..."_

    Google _Steven Wilson: "I've sacrificed family for music."_

    Then there's Lily on The Raven that Refused to Sing, and Lucy on Drive Home:
    Lily = Lilith (Hebrew Desert demoness / witch)
    Lucy = Lucifer.

    Then there's all the references to serial killers, etc. Oh yeah: Steven lives in Israel.

  24. D.... J....

    My new favorite song!!!!!!

    D.... J....

    try always never

  25. M.... R....

    Sounds awesome, but some atmospheric ambience of the original is lost...

    M.... R....

    Some of the background music is scaled back. Some bass is lost.

    M.... R....

    As much as I love Gavin's drumming I totally agree with this statement.

  26. D.... K....

    This Band with this masterpiece, with this incredible rythm & solo wrote the (Greek) tittle Synesthesia high on the list of best songs of Rock History.

  27. r.... ....

    One of the best PT songs! Both versions are excellent IMO.

  28. E.... H....

    there's no song from PT that I dislike, when they remaster any of them they just surprise me more and more!! and this version with Gavin pfffffffffff orgasmic!!!

  29. W.... R....

    Nice to hear Gav playing on Up The downstair!
