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

I frankly think it's about air travel.

We lost the skyline: No skyline in the air. We stepped right off the map: The map is the ground. You're off it. Drifted into blank space: Obvious. And let the clocks relapse: Time zones. In travelling far, the clocks relapse.

We laughed the rain down: Flying above the rain. Slow burn on the lawn: Airplane landing or take off. Ghosts across the lawn: Don't know about this. Swallowed up the storm: Nither this. But storms and air travel sorta go together.
