Shredder dont diss man. since day one, SA has always had out there lyrics. Consider also that this song is off of Transistor, 311's most obscure and experimental album to date. Call it a poetic license. SA's sci-fi poetry is just him being creative, which is a really neat 311 element to alot of their fans. I don't think SA believes the content of this song any more than the people who wrote LOTR or Star Wars believe in talking goblins, elves, wookies, lightsabers, or the force. That being said, the reference "burnin fossil fuels, we dont even need to" probably is taken from an actual belief in eastern religions that one can meditate and harness their life energy (chi) instead of using earthly resources for energy. As far as "the gap for another planet" , there IS a huge asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, who knows where it came from. It's a neat hypothesis by SA even though it might sound a little silly.
