Analysis and Explanation

It was one of the last Origin of Symmetry songs to debut live (alongside Citizen Erased and Megalomania, it was not performed live in 2000, unlike the remainder of the album). This was almost certainly down to the song's difficulty. Regardless, the song made its live debut in October 2001 and continued to perform it at nearly every show until the beginning of 2004 when performances become more sporatic.

After very few performances in 2005, the band dropped the song from the setlists. However, its outro riff was played quite regularly as an outro to Knights of Cydonia on guitar during 2006 and the song returned in full in 2008, making somewhat regular appearances until the end of the year.

It would reappear again in 2011 but only for the Reading & Leeds Festivals where Origin of Symmetry was performed in full to celebrate the album's 10th anniversary. All performances from this point onwards featured the outro being played on guitar instead of piano like in 2006. It was a setlist option for 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire show, however, it wasn't played. It would take seven years, until the Paris Cigale 2018 by-request show, for Space Dementia to return. While it made no further appearances that year or during the Simulation Theory World Tour the following year, the song returned for five gigs in 2022, and two surprise performances in 2023.
