Black Dahlia
Unveiling the Shadows: Porcupine Tree's Black Dahlia Meaning
Lyrics
You have no interest in the past
You are not interested in your history or origins.
Where you came from
Uninterested in where you have come from.
Where you're going to
Uninterested in where you are headed in the future.
There's a cliche in your eye
Your expression contains a predictable and overused element.
File the edges down
You are smoothing out the rough edges of your personality or identity.
Soon be underground
Implying an impending demise or burial.
There's nothing here for you under the sun
There is nothing worthwhile for you in the current situation or circumstances.
There's nothing new to do, it's all been done
No novel experiences are left; everything has already been explored or attempted.
So put your faith in another place
Suggesting a need to place trust or belief in a different context or concept.
Never seem to get away from this
Feeling trapped or unable to escape from a persistent situation.
It's all falling into an abyss
Everything is spiraling into a state of chaos or emptiness.
So put your foot on the pedal boy
Encouraging decisive action or acceleration in life.
All you know is secondhand
Your knowledge is not firsthand; it comes from others or external sources.
The bullet passed through the cage inside you
An incident or trauma has passed through your emotional defenses.
You stole the only thing you love
You have betrayed the only thing that holds significance or love for you.
So unfaithful, the drop is fatal
The betrayal is severe, leading to a fatal consequence or outcome.
