This song could be about someone who doesn’t fit in our current world life style and culture. He and his mates are being forced (again), by “the man”, to abandon their own life style and culture to fit in the new world.

Like harmonies, locks in keys
Lightning in every drop
We're tricked again, lost at sea
When we find land can I climb your tree?
I know it's hard to see, oh
I wanna believe what you're saying
But I'm seeing the game that you're playin'
Oh, I kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-know
What I'm gonna d-d-d-d-d-do
Kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-know what I'm gonna d-d-d-d-d-do
Oh no, I meant...
I'm at the wrong place at the wrong time
They're attracting all the wrong people to the wrong line
I do not want to see the whole mess
I wish I could live in retrospect
Five steps
Remember them well
As you're coming down, down the well
You drop 500 tons of hell
You are everything I see
Every time I blink, despair
Who's asleep at the wheel?
They fight for every meal
Who likes that bad idea?
You
Undo
What I feel, qualia
What I am, qualia
Wait, wait
No, I don't want it
No, I don't want it
Oh man
What are we doing now?
All I know… are instincts
You are everything I see
Every time I blink, despair
Lock the doors and hide the keys
And wake the doctor, call a priest
Born out of electricity, I wait for you in the second life
Who's asleep at the wheel?
Who likes that bad idea?
Who wants a Happy Meal?
Oooh
You are everything I see
Every time I blink, despair
I will take what I can grab, but I, I don't want your money bags
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What else can I say
What else can I say
What else can I say tonight?
