In this track, Steven Wilson explores themes of control, conformity, and societal stagnation. The lyrics suggest a critique of those in power who impose their beliefs and maintain dominance over others, likened to inmates running the same asylum. This metaphorical 'asylum' represents a cycle of repetitive and oppressive behaviors that society fails to break from, leading to a collective sense of disillusionment and entrapment. Wilson's poignant message serves as a wake-up call for self-awareness and change within the rigid frameworks that govern our lives. #StevenWilson #SocialCritique #MentalConfinement #AsylumMetaphor
