- Index Lyrics / with translationsI'm a collector, I collect anything I find
I never throw anything away that's mine
And I'd collect you too if I was given half a chance
And trap you under the glass and add my autograph
I catalog, I preserve, and I index
And file you into my collectible Rolodex
I keep the rubbish what other people give away
And keep all of the pieces in a metal tray
Hoard - collect - file - index
Catalog - preserve - amass - index
I'm a collector and I've always been misunderstood
I like the things that people always seem to overlook
I gather up and catalog it in a book I wrote
There's so much now that I forget if I don't make a note
If I collected you and put you in a little cage
I could take you out and study you every day
It isn't easy being me, it's kind of lonely work
My obligation to collecting is my only thirst
I never throw anything away that's mine
And I'd collect you too if I was given half a chance
And trap you under the glass and add my autograph
I catalog, I preserve, and I index
And file you into my collectible Rolodex
I keep the rubbish what other people give away
And keep all of the pieces in a metal tray
Hoard - collect - file - index
Catalog - preserve - amass - index
I like the things that people always seem to overlook
I gather up and catalog it in a book I wrote
There's so much now that I forget if I don't make a note
If I collected you and put you in a little cage
I could take you out and study you every day
It isn't easy being me, it's kind of lonely work
My obligation to collecting is my only thirst
Facts about Index
✔️

✔️
It is first released on September 26, 2011 as part of Steven Wilson's album "Grace for Drowning" which includes 14 tracks in total. This song is the 8th track on this album.
✔️
When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, in 'Index', Steven Wilson uses the issue of hoarding as a vehicle to reflect the obsessive nature of collecting and the while, passing through the first, he oozes out the isolation and one-track mind that goes together with such a fierce passion. The song is a meditation on the difficulties of memory and object-keeping and the psychological price it may take. The Index text mostly points out solitude, contemplation, angst, nostalgia, and despair. Simultaneously, it highlights the collecting and hoarding existence as well as the misapprehended ardor. The lyrics portray the assembling and the accumulating of stuff that, on the one hand, could be dubbed as a compulsive behavior and, on the other hand, could even be considered as wandering close to the creepy side. The metaphors of taking someone 'under the glass' and the cyclical gesture of described might be pretty heavy for kids; thus, the song deserves no less than a PG-13.
