To me this song is about human existence. Nowadays, people show a façade of who really is and live life as if it were something virtual in all the turmoil that accompanied the day to day ... We seem to be computers that overthink and overanalize the information we manage, looking for the logic of everything and putting aside the instinctive part of human being ... the essence of being human ... So, little by little, life has lost meaning and the people are far away from its self-realization.
About the part of the phantom agony, I believe it refers to our ancesters, who are squirming in their graves when they see how we are driving our lives.
