PORCUPINE TREE

- The Sleep Of No Dreaming Lyrics

Written by Steven Wilson

At the age of sixteen
I grew out of hope
I regarded the cosmos
Through a circle of rope
So I threw out my plans
Ran on to the wheel
And emptied my head
Of all childish ideals
The sleep of no feeling
I married the first girl
Who wasn't a man
And smiled as the spiders
Ran all over my hands
Made a good living
By dying it's true
As the world in my TV
Leaked onto my shoes

The sleep of no dreaming lyrics mainly underscore angst, despair, reflection, solitude and social commentary. Conversely, the song suggests the importance of extinguished hope and idealism, emotional numbness and detachment and existential despair and escapism.

The recurrent reference to 'the sleep of no feeling,' 'the sleep of no being,' and 'the sleep of no dreaming' conveys an idea of hollowness and despair.
