This is actually a "Russia" reference to vodka. This song is about excesses of alcohol abuse, not about the country. "You think I deserve this You said I was stupid All my thoughts are like coal But Russia on ice is burning a hole Can't stop myself drinking (**) Can't stop being me If I call, will you come and will you save me? I see the whole thing come down I burn it to the ground Well, what the hell did you say?

PT is without a doubt the PF of this generation. This is an absolute masterpiece. I stumbled upon them last year after searching trains on you tube and have since become a huge fan ever since. Radiohead, Pink Floyd, and Tool have always been my favorite bands, but I'm slowly beginning to think that PT may knock one of them out of my top three

[@shrimpu]

This song is such a masterpiece.

[@DarkQwerzar]

In my opinion is one of the best of Porcupine Tree... is such deep and emotional, but you need to listen it more times for truly understand this masterpiece. The lyrics are so dark and criptic,but if you know the meanings of these, the entire structure of the music follow perfectly the moment described in the lyrics. And i love when i need to reflect to comprend truly a song, and in this Steven Wilson is a genius

[@SheIsntReal94]

+DarkQwerzar what's your interpretation? :)

[@DarkQwerzar]

+SheIsntReal94 In the beginning the lyrics start with a dark thought : "You think i deserve this? You said i was stupid" and introduce us to a man that is suffering for someone (probably his girl), all with a slow intro that is perfect to the crescendo of the song, that slowly progress symmetrical to the "thoughts" that the "man" is feeling. After he sayed "all my thoughts are like coal", and that's a metaphor, because like the coal, the thoughts are propellant for the flame of Pain in this case, the pain that he is suffering, and this pain is only "removed" by drinking alchol, and we know that by "But Russia on ice is burning a hole"the most metaphorical phrase in the song, infact the meaning is deep and ermetic: The "russia on ice" is a metaphor for Vodka - Alchol, that is burning the Throath ("a hole"), so he is drunking because he doesn't want to think. This phrase will be repeated all the times at the end of a strophe, and the meaning is that the only solution for solve the problems that he had is drinking and drinking, and this is clearly explained at the beggining of the next strophe "Can't stop myself drinking". After that he sayed "can't stop being me, if i call will you come and will you save me?", and this is explained the problem that he had with her girl, she doesn't like him anymore for what he became, and he is thinking that she even would not help him if he call for help. Then the music kick and start to have a significant crescendo, with the dark chorus "I see the whole thing come down, i burn it to the ground, well what the hell did you say?You said you hate me this wait, it's just a matter of time", the crescendo is symmetrical to the wrath that start to grows in he, when he is drunk at the ground, angry for the bad words that he received. But after that the music calms down again, because the sadness keep his thoughts, and the next strophe is the real deep end:"A drop in the ocean, a significant motion, nothing melts in this cold, but Russia on ice is burning a hole". That for me had 2 meanings, the first, that the "drop in the ocean" represent how a little thing can really hurt a man inside ( a single drop cause a significant motion in the sea), and that he is so "cold" inside now that he can't feel anything (nothing melts in this cold) and he turn back again at drinking alchol (russia on ice...). The second meaning is much darker and depressing, infact, the "drop in the ocean" could be a metaphor for his body (the drop) that fall in the ocean...he is commiting suicide in the water, and that's the real significant motion, the last motion of his body, and in the cold of the water any "burning thoughts" that melt his soul will be ended, and again the last reference to his alchol addiction that caused his death. In any case, both will end with his death for me "it's just a matter of time" and i can speculate that by the change of the music after that phrase. Infact the heavy riff for me rapresent his last thoughts of anger in the cold water or at the ground drunk, because the alchol make his effect and he is covered in rage, but after all that heavy and dark armony the music calm down suddendly, and a bell start to ring...like a bell of death, like the bell that plays at a funeral...he is dying, and finally all the bad thoughts are vanishing with the silence and peace of the death... That's my interpretation...was really long to write,hope this will help someone to understand more this masterpiece, and sorry for my bad english...hope this is legible!

This was next in the queue after Tool what a masterpiece.

[@aparatoowa]

It could be the most moving PT song. Simply.

+Joan Silentio heard drive home? i like it equally!

[@aparatoowa]

Tanmay Setia Yeah, it is an amazing, moving song. Have you seen Steven live?

[@tanmay365]

Never! Hoping that happens soon.

+Tanmay Setia Drive home isn't from PT.

[@tanmay365]

+SlaveCalledShiver I am aware that it's an independent SW project.

[@carlsedon2571]

again, one in an endless beautiful vein from Wilson and co.; extremely personal and yet universal....

[@kaananthakkar2546]

At 6:48, I can feel my soul prep up to float with the music after.

[@rudoxblaze1333]

ever thought how the song achieved its climax.....how the song started and how it ends ......Its a masterpiece.....

[@iagoochoa7954]

7:33 riff is epic !!!

[@arghadutta5469]

never gets old...one of the best of Wilson's production..

[@TristanJCumpole]

Instant Brainworm: Intro sounds like The Carpenters, "Close To You". In Soviet Russia, birds suddenly disappear YOU!

[@abhilashgoswami]

This song somehow stirs such depth in the lake of emotions that is in my usually shallow heart.

[@Undersoon]

This is so relaxing while you're high, you're alive. The true life; music.
