It is about cute little mice who just so happen to be at a birthday party

I've thought a lot about this song and it sort of matches up with their overall alien-esque whole idea. The idea is that us humans are destroying our earth and succumbing to consumerism. Enter shikari can be seen as a group of humans, who may be aliens or may just be in contact with them, that see by the horrible reality and try to fight against it.

This song is specifically about a person viewing these horrors from a different perspective, while he is forced to travel back and live knowing these realities.

Wow, you guys just took everything they said literally. Think abut it. "what are the crowds running from? " whoever the song is referencing to, must not conform to the usual lifestyle, as the crowds, or the normal people shun them. "walk the plank" is the implying they were shunned, or not accepted. The "mothership" is implying they are different, like aliens. Nothing about enter shikari is similar among an other band. Their political views and the way they write their songs are among the most advanced
i've ever heard in lyrics. I can really relate to this song, seein as i don't really fit anywhere in a social category.

This song is about someone getting abducted, and at first is scared to death! But once he is released, he realizes how much better it would have been to just stay on the mothership(my soul felt so safe up there; no self-centered natives destroying our earth). He is called insane, and possibly commited? Before the aliens returned him they just left him with one bit of knowledge"your answers were always lying on the ocean floor". This makes me think of atlantis, the lost city. Stories originally told of how it was sunk by the gods, which many ruins have depicted as alien life forms. At the end, he decides to search for these answers and fight his fear of the unknown(walk the plank! Your answers, were always lying on the ocean floor).

There is definitely another meaning to this though, since its started from the previous song, which voiced thier horror at the earths destruction, and some being that has waited for 1,000 years to come back reaping its veangence for us destroying their home, this is the second part to it.

Well for me this song is about rory being abducted by aliens and he's super scared and he is telling him to spit it out and tell him what happened to him. And that the aliens are in the ocean or live in the ocean so their community is in the ocean . They live on our earth.
