This song is clearly about The Montauk Project. The Montauk Project is believed by some to be a goverment experiment, in an attempt to make a psychological war weapon. As the myth has it, childeren and homeless people were abducted to experiment on.

These test subjects were exposed to great amounts of electromagnetic radiation. They were also subjected to physical and mental torture and then given "super human" abilities, under mind control. One, extraordinary ability was said to be achieved. Spontaneous object creation.

Time travel was also a large part of this experiment, and many young boys were supposedly sent back in time on missions, never to return.

Another aspect of this project was that they could broadcast mind control. It was said that a small town near Montauk's research facilities was used to test this. People in the town went crazy, killing eachother. There was holes found in concrete, that appeared to be from someone punching the concrete. This is pretty much the reason that the researched ceased.

As you can easily infer from my brief summary of The Montauk Project, this song is definitely about it.

The song refers to the electromagnetic waves, the lost children, manipulation of space and time, conspiracy, as well as some other things.
