Porcelain Heart Lyrics

[ThepOpeth]

I, lost all I had -that April day-
I, turned to my friends -nothing to say-
I, wrote down the name -and read it twice-
I, wallowed in shame

I, said that alone -eternal schemes-
I, cling to my past -like childish dreams-
I, promised to stay -and held my breath-
I, went far away

I see routes beneath my feet,
Led me through wastelands of deceit,
Rest your head now don't you cry,
Don't ever ask the reason why

Kept inside our idle race,
ghost of an idol's false embrace,
Rest your head now don't you cry,
Don't ever ask the reason why



Any Corrections or other interpretations feel free to post.

Cheers and Enjoy,
ThepOpeth

So I'm guessing it sounds right? So i can post it on the lyric sites.

This is what I hear. Not sure though.

I lost all I had -that April day-
I turned to my friends -nothing to say-
I wrote down the name -and read it twice-
I wallowed in shame

I said that I love -eternal schemes-
I cling to my past -like childish dreams-
I promised to stay -and held my breath-
I went far away

I see roots beneath my feet
Lend me through wastelands of deceit
Rest your head now don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why

Kept inside our idle race
Ghosts of an idol's false embrace
Rest your head now don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why

Second on the roots line above.
The 'Ghosts' line sounds better too.

 

[Arjen W.]

I think it's

I see roads beneath my feet
Led me through wastelands of deceit

'Roads' could also be 'routes', either of these is more logical than 'roots' considering the line following it (as in a road leading somewhere). And I'm not sure, but 'I see' could also be 'icy' since the pronouncation is pretty much identical and the line would still make sense. Apart from this I think Tepheron's interpretation is pretty much correct.
