PORCUPINE TREE

- Shallow Lyrics

I don't remember
Did something in my past create a hole?
Don't use your gender
To drive a stake right through my soul

I live to function
On my own is all I know
No friends to mention
No distraction, nowhere to go

Shallow, shallow Give it to me
Scissors cutting out your anger
Shallow, shallow No good to me, not if you bleed
Bite your tongue, ignore the splinter

This city drains me
Well maybe it's the smell of gasoline
The millions pain me
It's easier to talk to my PC

What is the meaning behind Shallow lyrics?


When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the song 'Shallow' by Porcupine Tree explores the concepts of isolation and detachment, which are represented by the speaker's choice for loneliness and absence of social interactions. The text portrays the speaker as being unresponsive to the outer world and relying on himself as a source of power, employing images of snipping anger with scissors and treating emotional hurt like a small splinter, hence, wanting to be covered from all negative feelings and interactions. Shallow lyrics mainly point out loneliness, hopelessness, anxiety, rage, and introspection. Likewise, the piece draws attention to the necessity of solitude, emotional pain, battles, and ultimately the reliance on oneself. The words speak of emotional turmoil and isolation which might be troublesome for the little ones when not under the supervision of a grown-up. Although there are no direct mentions of violence, sexual acts, or drug consumption, the way the subject is treated and the overall mood still point out that some portions might need a parent's input.
