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 Could 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? Arriving somewhere but not here Chorus: All my designs, simplified And all of my plans, comprimised And all of my dreams, sacrificed Ever had the feeling you've been here before? Drinking down the poison the way you were taught Ever 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, comprimised And all of my dreams... Did you see the redness block your part? Did the scissors cut a way to your heart? Did you feel the end before the suns of mothers Tearing you apart? Arriving somewhere but not here |

This song is beautiful. To me, it just sounds
like the thoughts of a child (later on, the
victim) who has lost someone.. and doesn't quite
know why. Whether their life ended by a bullet,
car crash, etc... anything tragic like that is
unclear to me. The lines 'never stop the car on a
drive in the dark' and 'did you ever imagine the
last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a
song' lead me to believe that it was an automobile
accident.. where the victim slowly faded out to
the tune of a song. 'Arriving somewhere but not
here' is a masterpiece, and the chorus just
elaborates on the accident, by stating that all my
plans for the future, everything I had in mind to
do with my life now means nothing. Later on in
the song, you're treated to a solo, provided by
Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth (you'll recognize it if
you're a fan of opeth) which gives the song a
beautiful, bluesy interlude.

Wow, you definetly know where you are listening
to. But completly agree with you on ths being a
true masterpiece. This album is a masterpiece and
I haven't even listened it all the way trough. The
Akerfield solo owns, that guy owns all!

Nothing much to add to all your pretty
comprehensive appraisals. My favourite lyric is
probably "Did you see the red mist block your
path?" Not sure why though... Just seems to add to
the sombre feel of the song.

'Sombre' is an apt description. These unflinching
lyrics, the entire mood of the song - it gets me.
