| This one is most people's favorite. It's got the best hooks and it's about something everyone can relate to: the need to move on and stop fearing change. Musically, it's got some electronica influences, particularly in the drum beat, though if you listen, you can hear that its real ancestors are the songs of old Genesis and Metallica. | |

| At its core, this is a simple song about alienation, like so many songs before. It's got a sci-fi touch to it, though, and a few dabs of some really bizarre imagery, that make it a worthwhile listen, I believe. | |

| There are several levels to this musically and lyrically complicated song. First and foremost, it is a sort of large-scale comment on modern urban life done in an unusual sort of way. The very quick mood shifts and rhythmic changes, along with constant lyrical viewpoint changes, are a reflection of the fast-paced confusion of everyday life in a big city. It's all the elements of a city, from its politics to its commercialism to its alienated dreamers, condensed to under five minutes. But on other levels, there are some comments on humanity in general -- our tendency to repeat anything that flashes brightly enough, our blind faith in leaders, our loneliness even when surrounded by a sea of others. | |
