Meaning of the lyrics ?
I do not know, but here are a few who said they knew:
Stages of human evolution through a family saga:
This song is part of "OVO", a multi-media show done for the Millennium Dome in Greenwich, England.
OVO follows the tale of earth loving being named Theo, his wife Beth and his children Sofia and Ion.
Ion is the clever inventor of the family, and after his father dies he leads his people in an industrial revolution, building a huge tower.
Eventually the tower becomes a curse as it saps natural resources and makes slaves of those building it. Beth and Sofia lead a revoltion and the tower falls.
Outside the OVO connection, there's a certain "Tower of Babel" feel to this song...humanity trying to build to heaven but failing: "In the pounding of the pistons, I swear I hear your call."
Or it may be it is industry taking over the "natural order" song?
Was as if he was singing about 9/11, no! only he singing it 21 months before 9/11 happened!
Повторяем попытку...
