   The divided head motif is obviously significant due to its placement on the   
   front cover and its repetition inside the booklet. But it is not too difficult   
   to tie some other elements of the artwork into my theory.   
      
   The astronomical observatory in Cluster One directs our attention to the sky;   
   from earth to heaven, to a greater reality in which everything is unified even   
   though we have forgotten about it and thus become separated and isolated (the   
   name Cluster One    
   suggests unity too).   
      
   In Wearing The Inside Out there is a door that seems to separate the TV set   
   from its source of power (there seems to be a power cord leading under the   
   door). I might speculate that the TV represents man's sensory perception,   
   directed to the material    
   world, while that which is hidden behind the door is man's greater identity,   
   or the soul.   
      
   The tree in Take It Back might represent life, nature, or the intuitive part   
   of ourselves - the soul - that will take revenge if we continue to abuse it.   
   The balance will be restored.   
      
   The resuscitation scene in Coming Back To Life might represent the soul   
   breathing life into the dying ego (the separatist, materially oriented part of   
   man).   
      
   The monkeys in Keep Talking look like a reference to the time when mankind was   
   asleep, not talking, living like animals.   
      
   The two gloves in Lost For Words may represent left and right hand, which may   
   represent right and left brain hemispheres (since the left hemisphere controls   
   the right half of the body and the right hemisphere controls the left half),   
   which may represent    
   holistic and analytic perception, which may represent feminine and masculine   
   aspects of oneself, or soul and ego. And fight.   
      
   The black cape in High Hopes seems to represent darkness, evil, fallen soul.   
      
   In short, my story is about a schism between ego and soul in man, a state of   
   excessive domination of ego, which resulted in the separation of man from a   
   greater reality and from other people.
