It's actually saying "from the ins... from the ins... from the ins..." which is an example of Jamais Vu. You have heard "from the inside out we were formed" earlier in the album on the song Sang Real, but when it's played back like this, it seems foreign as if you've never experienced it before. |

| It is about using drugs and experimentation to expand the mind but never letting that experimentation get to a level where it will control you. | |

I think this song is about telling the "student"(the 7 billionth person of the world) that they have all of this information on their hands, but it's their choice to either ignore it and live in bliss(ignorance is bliss), or to accept the facts and live a more worrisome life. You can recall being a child and not having a care or worry in the world because you didn't know anything about politics or religion really. You just accepted what was taught to you, and lived in peace. Once you get older, you start questioning all these things you've been taught. "Dancing on the roof of some cartoon showroom, but in an instant I'd give it all right back" I believe this means that, even though he has learned about all these things, he'd rather be ignorant and just live happily rather than worrying about everything all the time. "So keep moving, onward Run through that open door Consuming knowledge Wormhole through times before There is only so much we can do Only so much can be shown to you The rest is your choice It's your choice" It also seems like he's arguing with himself on whether or not he should present this information to the student. He wants the student to know of the information, and to keep learning and look back through history, and to be able to make the choice of accepting the information or not, but once the information has been accepted, there is no turning back. "When I close my eyes I see two faces above me One to my left, one to my right" Again, this might be the conflict of one side of him wanting the student to know and to understand, and the other side of him wanting the student to blissfully live in ignorance. "I took you under Under my wing to shadow It never did bother me to hide you from the light" And once again, this is the side that wants to shield the student of the information speaking, keeping the student in the shadow of all this information. There is no way to make the choice without knowing of all the troubles, but once you know of all the troubles, you cannot choose to unlearn what you now know. It's a paradox. |
