Lyric discussion by AeroLed286 

Who would write a song about chess? Yeah, ProgRock is supposed to be for the smart people, but nah, I don't think chess. There are refrences to chess, but the song is probably more about a life situation using metaphors with chess. Don't make a Wall around yourself. I'm not really totally sure what the lyrics mean, and I'm probably wrong. Beautiful song though.

I agree with you there. And for some reason, I thought of Alice in Wonderland when I heard this song.

@PinkLolita: Yes, there are references to Lewis Carroll here: "the Red Queen," for example. The complex, intertwined themes are not unlike a 'rabbit hole.'
