I see in this song someone who is a Luddite (google it). I also see a lot of references to Second Life on here (also google this one). Well more so than 1984, like some have speculated. The song talks about someone who has a computer, might have just gotten it, and is hooked on it. They have created their own little world inside it, and is now a file on someone else's computer. You have to give fairly a lot about your personal life to make an account on many of these sights, and your actions on them tell a lot more, so they are able to cater to you and your taste by sending you emails talking about stuff you like and might want to buy on there. I find it very interesting that the song says "go to moon," since in second life, the most expensive non-earthly thing has be bought with earthly money, was a virtual space rock. But continuing on, they talk about how you can "meet some people you will never see," like I am sure we all have before. But the speaker, (and it is best to use the term speaker, since we don't know if it is specifically Tony, or a character of his own imagination who is meaning the words in this song) says that he is not apart of this world, this control, so there is no file on him inside cyberspace. He is trying to reach out to you, humanity in general, and try to wake you so you can see what you have become, "a slave amongst the slaves," and hope that you can break from it.
