He returns from his mixed up memories to the passage he was previously stuck in. Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite and the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight it s the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight.

Genesis playing the carpet crawlers in concert. The colorful and artistic language used throughout relays a story which is but a segment of a much larger narrative. Lyrically the song tells the section of the album s story whereby rael the lead character finds himself in. And the themes this particular part centers on are ones of conformity false hope and drudgery.

Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight. We ve got to get in to get out we ve got to get in to get out we ve got to get in to get out mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite and the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright. So all things considered this track reads like a criticism of those who blindly follow societal ideologies. This time he discovers a long carpeted corridor.
