I lie here
Staring up at the stratosphere
And hoping we're
Gonna get out of here
It seems mad
That we're all born on the doorstep
Of squalor and of pedestals
And I lie here
Surrounded by a range of general anesthetics
To drowse the fact
That funding in 'security'
Is not matched by spreading equality
You'll hear us singing...
In the sunlight where you caught us
Plotting the downfall of hoarders [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/enter_shikari/gap_in_the_fence.html ]
Every gap in the fence
We'll peek, we'll scratch, we'll stretch, we'll grab anything we can.
But if we grouped together
And made a bigger hole
Not just for our childrens hands
But for bigger plans
Cos I don't know about you
But I've gotta get out of here
We live so subserviently
Accepting all normality
Drenched with routine
Doused in the foreseen
And yes, granted we do prosper.
But the fact that we prosper
Is even taken for granted.

It's obvious that we need to stand as one to throw off the capitalistic government that is paralyzing our evolution.
If we start the "gap in the fence" further generations will further continue the fight we started.

It's about not thinking about personal gain
but thinking and seeing at a bigger perspective
small things, when grouped as one, make a big impact
deviate from the norms and beliefs that have polluted us all
young and old alike
not everything normal is right
that's the message.
This song i believe is about escapism, you want to get through that gap in the fence and run away as far as you can.
You can lay there and think about life, and how you could get away from it, but we live to routines, and accept it as the inevitable and carry on doing what we do.
The last chorus blatantly says that even if you do prosper, it will most likely be taken for granted.
