There's a definite ambience of the Industrial Revolution in the 'satanic mills' line, that's for sure.
However, does anybody else picture George Orwell's 1984 and the totalitarian dystopian future in the idea of a mechanical form of worship - "the strength of your singular eye" causes me to picture a surveillance camera of some form - a sort of trusted 'Big Brother is Watching You' kind of statement and the theme of modern man falling into its mechanical traps are possible interpretations.
Lastly, Yes without Anderson and Wakeman is different, but by no means not 'True Yes' in my mind. A band shouldn't be about one member, in my opinion.
