"Fear of a Blank Planet" is a Porcupine Tree song. It appears as the first track on the album of the same name. A promo single of the song was released in Europe and the US, by respective record labels. Both promos contain an edited version of "Fear of a Blank Planet" with the swearing removed. The lyrics deal with two common neuro-behavioural developmental disorders for teenagers in the 21st Century: bipolar disorder and attention deficit disorder.

On April 16, 2007, the same day as the European release date, the music video for the title track debuted on Porcupine Tree's MySpace, though it was temporarily removed a day later in the wake of the shootings at Virginia Tech due to the band finding the content, namely children wielding guns, distasteful at the present. On April 25, 2007, the video was launched on the Fear of a Blank Planet microsite to view in high resolution, but has been replaced by the live projection for "Sleep Together". The video is now included as a bonus along with the 17-minute film for "Anesthetize" on the DVD-A version of Fear of a Blank Planet.

Sunlight's coming through the haze
No gaps in the blinds
To let it inside
The bed is unmade,
Some music still plays

TV, yeah it's always on
The flicker on the screen
A movie actress screams
I'm basking in the shit flowing out of it

I'm stoned in the mall again
Terminally bored
Shuffling round the stores
And shoplifting is getting so last year's thing

X-Box is a god to me
A finger on the switch
My mother is a bitch
My father gave up ever trying to talk to me

Don't try engaging me
The vaguest of shrugs
The prescription drugs
You'll never find the person inside

My face is Mogadon
Curiosity has given up on me
I'm tuning out desires
The pills are on the rise

How can I be sure I'm here?
The pills that I've been taking confuse me
I need to know that someone sees that
There's nothing left, I simply am not here

I'm through with pornography
The acting is lame
The action is tame
Explicitly dull
Arousal annulled

Your mouth should be boarded up
Talking all day with nothing to say
Your shallow proclamations
All misinformation

My friend says he wants to die
He's in a band, they sound like Pearl Jam
Their clothes are all black
The music is crap

In school I don't concentrate
And sex is kinda fun, but just another one
Of all the empty ways of using up the day

How can I be sure I'm here?
The pills that I've been taking confuse me
I need to know that someone sees that
There's nothing left, I simply am not here

Bipolar disorder
Can't deal with this boredom
Bipolar disorder
Can't deal with this boredom

Don't try to be liked
You don't mind
Feel no sun
You steal a gun
To kill time

You're somewhere.
You're nowhere.
You don't care.
You catch the breeze.
You still the leaves.
So now where?

Before I started on the medicine I was much more of a shut in than I am now... So in a sense I am the reverse of this. I am more alive now.

[Lluminari]

@HunterJiron Good on you. Once people go outside, start doing other things, the depression slowly slips away. I was there. Now I'm outside as much as I can.

Peace, L.

[TheOsirix12]

can some1 tell me what is this video about?

[Lluminari]

@TheOsirix12 ADD, depression, bi-polar disorder, today's teenagers, toques and hoodie fashion.

I love how this shows that we are drugged and manipulated to be consumers of mass media mind control.

[xTheWorldNeedsAHerox]

@HunterJiron Meds are just far more dangerous to people. They've got commercials of anti-depressants like Prozac killing people and whatnot. When weed or LSD cures emotional problems far better, in fact, LSD treatment was considered in 1961, in the province of Saskatchewan, the cure for alcoholism. And was considered no longer experimental.

@CaptainRetardify I fully agree except with the last part...chemical imbalance is neurological and does affect the mind, however people tend to utilize this to justify their lack of ambition (which you mentioned in other words) and victimize themselves...it's disgusting really

[poddish]

@CaptainRetardify Depression isn't a bad lifestyle. Sure, some cases are caused by that, but in many cases lifestyle has almost no impact on it. And bipolar is what you say, but to the extreme ends of good/bad.

[CaptainRetardify]

It's only mind control if you let it be, it's okay to watch television and play video games but don't blindly follow what they tell you and always keep an open mind and question things. Yes you CAN go out and buy the newest cut/copy of Call Of Duty but you don't have too because there are a million other fps games that do the same thing. Also Depression is a lie, it's called a bad lifestyle, and bipolar is another word for good/bad days. It should be obvious but people are just idiots.

Turn off the televisions! Question athority and the things that influace you. The things you want to burn down are put there by the same people that try to drug you. Guns are to defend yourself, the ones you love and friends and the folks next door. I might be just another old bastard but I've been feeling this since the 60s.

[HunterJiron]

@TexasFireGuy It's good to see people agree with me, I was given hate mail for my last comment like that on a nother video...

[TexasFireGuy]

@HunterJiron Amen, brother. When I started reading your post I thought my daughter wrote it. Meds aren't for everyone or every case, but they damn sure have their place. Also, I think one of the main things folks should take away from this song and video is.....JUST TALK TO YOUR KIDS! Pay them some attention and raise them to give a damn.

[HunterJiron]

I love this song because I know so many people like this. Now I myself truly believe in ADHD but in most cases it is false. My dad and I both have it but I take a medication for it and it has truly helped me to accomplish more so far in my life. But not everyone needs to pop a pill to fix themselves. I am able to express myself through the music I write and make even while under the effects of it.
