The lyrics of this song remind me of the film Dark City. If you haven't seen it, the film's plot consists of a society of people monitored by an alien race that has harnessed the ability to physically and psychologically rearrange the city and its inhabitants every night. At midnight, the aliens stop time, emerge from out of the shadows and swap different fabricated sets of memories between the citizens. The aliens have created these memory sets to create certain types of people...essentially, "programs" to precipitate different human beings: successful entrepreneurs, racists, murders, happy couples, etc. Ultimately, their goal is to see if anyone will act against the "programs" and exhibit free will.
The protagonist of the film is a man who "wakes up too soon" during one of these injection/rearranging processes and tries to get to the bottom of the alien occupation.
Completely off the mark, I know, but I think of it nevertheless.
