Porcupine Tree seem to use a sorten approach in writing poems that a lot of their songs are lyricaly connected by repeated motives (in the shape of single words or fragments). It is usually in the same album, since PT love to create concept albums. This magical song continues, to my opinion, the story of The Nostalgia Factory's catterpillar that turned into a butterfly. Both written by Allen Duffy for PT. So it make sense to me. It fits very originally cuz the two songs don't share the same music and singing. But both share the same writing pattern, only with a bit different flow. Here it tales the story of what happened to the butterfly from a different point of view, as if it was that of an outsider. Not the same one (the narrator most likely) that the caterpillar was "looking inside his swollen head" at the beginning.
