Actually I will post the true meaning of this song, as it brings a certain amount of mal-kharma to misinform the masses.
It points to the singularity and our hopes and dream of finding immortality with technology. This is ofcourse a false hope since reality would be quite different indeed(as outlined in NM156). This A technological singularity is a hypothetical event occuring when technological progress becomes very rapid due to positive feedback, making the future after the Singularity qualitatively different and hard to predict. It has been suggested that one will occur during the 21st century, and there are several mechanisms by which a singularity could occur.[1][2]
Vernor Vinge proposed that the creation of smarter-than-human intelligence would represent a breakdown in humans' ability to model their future. In the same way that a worse chess player cannot predict the next move of a better chess player, and less intelligent animals cannot predict the actions of humans, so too humans cannot predict the actions of more intelligent entities. He compared it to the breakdown of physics so that it cannot be used to model the space-time singularity beyond the event horizon of a black hole
