There’s an audio clip at the beginning of this song, and it’s all based around the reference to Heaven’s Gate. The lyrics are about, ‘Come with us, you’ll wind up on this phenomenon occurring in the sky, and then we will be the all-powerful people! But the greater message is just about the danger of following an ideal blindly and being wooed by shiny but inevitably empty promises. It’s taken directly from the Heaven’s Gate story, but this kind of thing happens all the time, on all sorts of scales.
