The lyrics of Scar Symmetry are better than anything I've seen before.
In my opinion, this song refers to Plato's Cave Allegory. It is just written with one additional dimension. While the persons in the cave allegory see only 2d shadows, we can see things three-dimensional - but though, we're just shadows of something ("revealing the concealed"; "to view the paths unknown"). The song tells how humans leave their 3d cave and explore the unknown world (unknown an ocean) outside. At the moment, we know nothing (strangers in our own world), but this will change soon (it's time to turn the page).
