Porn on Beta Lyrics

Leaving above my head
The last thing I wanted to think of
Was ever to think of leaving here
Morning touch me with cold fingers
With reality I bruise in its grip
The colours that filled me with wonder
And It tricks my mind
A thousand times
And reaches into something
I'm not sure I remember
In rewind
It's more defined
I wish that you could see this
But I'm so far behind
Counting the hours of solitary
Soon they will become days.
As my prescription of strong denial
Is nearing the end of its phase.
Searching for something to blame you for
To deceive the course of the pain I feel
Coming up empty, I always knew
I always knew
And It tricks my mind
A thousand times
And reaches into something
I'm not sure I remember
In rewind
It's more defined
I wish that you could see this
But I'm so far behind
And It tricks my mind
A thousand times
And reaches into something
I'm not sure I remember
In rewind
It's more defined
I wish that you could see this
But I'm so far behind
The lyrics of Porn on Beta's song "Rewind" paint a picture of someone feeling lost, confused, and stuck between reality and memories. The song opens with the mention of planes landing and taking off above the singer's head, hinting at a sense of disconnection from the world around them. The singer is struggling to come to terms with the idea of leaving a place that they may have once called home. The morning arrives with a cold, harsh touch, and the singer finds themselves struggling to hold onto the sense of wonder that once filled them. The colors that once inspired awe and beauty now make them feel ill.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is trying to navigate a difficult emotional landscape. They may be going through a period of intense pain or loss, and they are searching for someone or something to blame for the way they feel. They mention counting the hours of solitary, and it appears that they are nearing the end of a phase of denial. Despite their attempts to distract themselves from their pain, they always knew that the truth would eventually catch up with them.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the singer's mind is playing tricks on them. They are seeing memories in rewind, struggling to make sense of what has happened to them. They wish that someone else could see what they see, but they feel that they are too far behind to be understood. Overall, "Rewind" is a powerful expression of the human struggle to come to terms with loss, pain, and memory.

Transcontinental flights are landing and
Flights from far away countries are landing and taking off in my vicinity
Leaving above my head
I can see the airplanes in the sky as they leave
The last thing I wanted to think of
I didn't want to think about something
Was ever to think of leaving here
I didn't want to think about leaving this place
Morning touch me with cold fingers
The morning makes me feel cold and uncomfortable
With reality I bruise in its grip
I am struggling to face reality and it is hurting me
The colours that filled me with wonder
Things that used to bring me joy and excitement
Today seem to make me sick
Now make me feel ill and unhappy
And It tricks my mind
An unknown feeling is manipulating my thoughts
A thousand times
Many times
And reaches into something
And affects a part of me
I'm not sure I remember
I am not certain I can recall it
In rewind
When looking back
It's more defined
It becomes clearer
I wish that you could see this
I want you to understand this
But I'm so far behind
But I am not catching up with it quickly enough
Counting the hours of solitary
Regretting the time spent alone
Soon they will become days
The time alone will turn into more days
As my prescription of strong denial
As my coping mechanism to ignore problems
Is nearing the end of its phase
Is almost over
Searching for something to blame you for
Trying to find fault in you
To deceive the course of the pain I feel
To try and relieve my own pain by shifting blame
Coming up empty, I always knew
But I knew I wouldn't find anything to blame you for

I've love this band, for at least two decades! Never seen them live, never been even close, but! "What more can I say...

I miss PoB. I still remember how I instantly became a fan the first time I heard them on Shoutcast. So happy to see this shared Cim! I would have loved to see more streams but it might be a longshot? I believe that you mentioned dumping a load of cd’s with PoB due to few sales :( any how.. PoB still brings love across the planet!
RantMedia
Thanks so much!! We have a third PoB album in the wings that's been waiting to be finished for so long. I can't wait to finally put it out and thank you for being patient!
Polar Red
@RantMedia still waiting! please, do it!

As much as I love rant media... And as much as I love this type of music... There is something about porn on beta that I just... can;t stand listening to them, I think it's the way he sings. It sounds to... forced or something.
