To me, this song is about the modern industrial era and how there's no mystery to life anymore:
"We lost the skyline We stepped right off the map"
This refers to the invention of airplane and being able to fly. The sky is no longer something to look and marvel at, hence "we lost the skyline"
"Drifted in to blank space And let the clocks relapse"
-refering to spacetravel and so forth
A lot of the porcupine tree songs are deep
Whenever I see a plane in the sky I think of these lyrics.
