The Sky Moves Sideways (Phase One) Lyrics

Cover art for The Sky Moves Sideways (Phase One) lyrics by Porcupine Tree

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.
