Porcupine Tree song. It appears as the sixth track on the2007 album "Fear of a Blank Planet ". The song is aboutescapism .The live projection for this song can be seen at the "Fear of a Blank Planet microsite" [cite web | url = http://fearofablankplanet.com | title = Fear of a Blank Planet microsite | accessdate = 2007-10-01] and at Porcupine Tree's live shows. This video shows many robot-like creatures inside bubbles, all sitting in front of some kind of computers which monitors are placed on a peripheric part of such bubbles, therefore that's the only point where the creatures are connected with external world, which is a metaphor of 21st. century's way of living.
