Stealing back your best ideas

I think Cage and Aquarium has something to do with animal testing, probably biological warfare.

Perhaps stealing back our best ideas for the biological warfare thing is the "smallpox blankets" for the native Indians. and the cover our widows with lead is fallout shelters. maybe anthrax, it can make you hallucinate and suspicious "someone's reading my mind!! I don't know who it is!"

Maybe I'm just a monkey on my way to making a Shakespear play.

This seems to be the opposite of "Age of Aquarius", while sounding similar. While the concepts of Age of Aquarius speak of the dawning of a new era of peace and love and freedom, Cage & Aquarium brings forth ideas of paranoia (..somebody's reading your mind...) and apathy (...yawn as your plane goes down in flames...) and imprisonment (from the title).
