I think this is a story about man's discovery of modern day science and people questioning God's existence. "- enslave the planet they call home/ For one thousand fucking years/ This is the age of a new direction."
"Eyes from around, they gather in disbelief/ Of the air we breathe and the little we know of it/ This is a time of evaluation." I think line is about the ignorance of people before modern day science and Periphery uses the existence of air as a medium through which to express that.
I also think that some of the lines in this song are written from the point of view of the Gods, for example "Lives erased, their memories will never surface again/ Now our plan for domination is at hand." This is an absolutely fantastic piece of writing for me and it becomes even better when the gods are revisited towards the end of the song, "Falling from the heavans above we've been, we've been dethroned."
Obviously all of this is just my own interpretation of the song and I am in no way saying that this is definitely what the song was written about, however I'd like to think that my own interpretation is pretty close to what Spencer intended it to mean.
