Its lyrics describe a troubled man dealing with everyday life, and its video depicts similar themes.
The video itself is shot solely in black and white and relies on computer animation for its setting.
He gets onto a futuristic locomotive which takes him to the downtown of the "Chemical City" where he goes to work in the biggest tower.
He listens to the company's boss (a woman partially hidden in shadows) until he leaves work and goes home to bed.
He awakes once more and follows the same schedule to and from work, until his departure from work the second time, when the song quickens, and then slows down suddenly, and a flash of light hits and the city is gone, leaving a beautiful valley which most likely stood there before the city's construction.
