Lunar Wilderness

Holy Jesus I get it. Tommy said that this album would contain two characters, connected in a way, across universe/space/time. Now in Lost Perfection A), we see the lines

"This party of four includes three grown adults and myself. The first adult is shy and wise enough, To keep the second one away from conversation. They're on a mission. Gender is not recognized. The third adult is a male and talks too much."

And Here, we see "(An out of focus picture brings up a familiar scenario. Three people fill the room. There seems to be a fourth, but very small. We are speaking about some sort of mission. My mouth won't stop moving... talking way too much. Even through the blur I can feel their stares. This one sided discussion seems to be about what I am preventing. Is this a sign? Too late... I've said it before. The people then disappear. I look about and the western sky seems to be red... alone. I can smell burning flesh... scorched life. I turn around and the face of death stares so grim that the lids finally open...)"

Now, the narrator of Lost Perfection, is the "Fourth, but very small" person talked about in Lunar Wilderness. The Narrator of Lunar Wilderness is the third person who 'talks too much' from Lost Perfection. The narrator of Lunar Wilderness has attempted to build a vessel to bring him back to prevent the end of the world, and he is seen here discussing it with the three other men introduced so long ago in The Silent Circus. And we can see here that he has failed his mission, and the end of the world proceeds as it had. I believe though that this was not a true time machine he built, but instead a sort of "Projection" machine. He didn't literally go back to the past, but projected himself there. He can interact with and change the past, but is truly stuck inside this machine in the present time, and we can see him exiting the projection here at the end of the song.
