This song takes the current flow of human mind existence, the autopilot quotes we have, and shows that everyone is really just fucking worried about imaginary issues, just get on people

Lots of people weighing in on the meaning behind the song so I thought I'd take it in the context of other songs on the album.tl;dr It seems like the song and the video imply there's no easy answers and we need to get over ourselves.In a world where climate change has become such a threat to humanity, a leftist revolution is staged (underclass set free) and radical changes take place (it was no big thing to give up the way of life we had). The powers driving capitalism fall apart (industry and commerce toppled to their knees) but it's already too late (the ice flows began to freeze).But I don't think FJM is discouraging us from striving for change, he's clearly very critical of contemporary society (Total Entertainment Forever, The Memo, Ballad of the Dying Man, Leaving LA etc)However, I think the key to unlocking this song is in Two Wildly Different Perspectives where he describes a deeply divided society absolutely convinced they're both right and the other side is wrong. As a result, something's lost (And everyone ends up with less on both sides) and no one really learns anything. If there's going to be any progress or if we're going to avoid an inevitable collapse of society, humanity needs to start making significant strides to reconcile with itself and overcome what has been fundamental to the human condition since the beginning described in Pure Comedy. Or else as this song describes, we end up returning to the state of nature set out from the start of the album (And as we return to our native state to our primal scene) having not really learned anything at all.In the end, maybe it's not possible to get there but there's undeniably something rotten at the heart of our society (If this isn't hell already then tell me what the hell is?" It's just human nature) that we desperately need to address. Sometimes it feels like we're caught between hell and oblivion but it doesn't have to be that way and it starts with understanding we all share this world, we have a responsibility to ourselves, our world and each other to admit we've become a threat to ourselves and risk dragging the entire ecosystem down with us unless we can change. We all share that and we all have some small part to play if there's to be any hope of overcoming it because in the end, the whole album is really about the flaws at the heart of human nature and if we're open to change but not willing to change ourselves then nothing can change and we'll consume ourselves like we've consumed everything else as we race to the end, only caring about who will get there first.I've kinda waxed lyrical a little here but it's impossible not to think about this song and the album as a whole without feeling like it's a damning criticism and a stark warning. This is how I see the song in the context of the album and sure some people probably don't agree but you do you.

thematically, this is like the sociologically-leaning cousin of the talking heads's ecologically-leaning nothing but flowers
