Anathema - Temporary Peace

A tribute to the sea.
----------------------------
lyrics:

Deep inside the silence
staring out upon the sea
the waves are washing over
half forgotten memory

Deep within the moment
laughter floats upon the breeze
rising and falling dying down within me
and I swear I never knew, I never knew how it could be
and all this time all I had inside was what i
couldn't see
I swear I never knew, I never knew
how it couldn't be
all the waves are
washing over all that hurts inside of me

Beyond this beautiful horizon
lies a dream for you and i
this tranquil scene is
still unbroken by the
rumours in the sky
but there's a storm
closing in voices
crying on the wind
the serenade is growing
colder breaks my soul
that tries to sing
and there's so many many
thoughts
when I try to go to sleep
but with you I start to feel
a sort of temporary peace
there's a drift in and out

@Gnonimoet The entire album is about a guy who decides to kill himself by driving into the water. So temporary peace is where he is finally covered by water and the water washes over him. In the last part of temporary peace you hear the ramblings and other things, and this is supposed to clue you in to the fact that the whole thing was faked, and the guy didn't kill himself, but he is most certainly crazy. Danny talked about it in an interview I heard once

I love this song :) Does anyone get why it takes 18 minutes on the album A fine day to exit and what the meaning is of the talking of people and the music at the end? Are these different lyrics?
