This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
As long as you're gone I can't apologize
For all the things that I haven't said and done
And 100 miles is a long drive inside a car
200 miles is a long drive inside a car
300 miles is a long drive inside a car
400 miles is a long drive inside a car
500 miles is a real long drive inside a car
600 miles is a long drive inside a car
700 miles is a long drive inside a car
800 miles is a long drive inside a car
900 miles is a long, long, long, long ways in a car
1000 miles is a long drive inside a car
1100 miles is too far inside a car
I wrote my name on the sun
Hey, all right, I might be goddamned
A life of arctic sounds
Hey, all right, I might be goddamned
All the sad comedians
Hey, all right, I might be goddamned
I might be goddamned
For all the things that I haven't said and done
And 100 miles is a long drive inside a car
200 miles is a long drive inside a car
300 miles is a long drive inside a car
400 miles is a long drive inside a car
500 miles is a real long drive inside a car
600 miles is a long drive inside a car
700 miles is a long drive inside a car
800 miles is a long drive inside a car
900 miles is a long, long, long, long ways in a car
1000 miles is a long drive inside a car
1100 miles is too far inside a car
I wrote my name on the sun
Hey, all right, I might be goddamned
A life of arctic sounds
Hey, all right, I might be goddamned
All the sad comedians
Hey, all right, I might be goddamned
I might be goddamned

Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
this song is all over the place. I would say he is trying to get away from someone he let down. Traveling to the sun and to the arctic.
I think Isaac is saying that he'd drive or do anything for someone he knows and loves a lot. He knows it's a long drive, but he feels strongly for them.. At 1100 miles, he realizes this has been far too long of a drive.<br /> He wrote his name on the sun to get their attention. A life of arctic sounds is being around arctic areas and having to go through there.<br /> In other words, the long drive is really trying his best to be good for them, but it's obvious that the road just isn't the right one. Finally he drops it at 1100 miles/ a big fight or realization. He does something really big and kinda stupid to get the person's attention. A life of arctic sounds would be having to listen to such strange things you've never heard before, or having to go way out of your way to listen to really cold stuff from the person you're trying to get to. 'I might be goddamned' probably means that he does a lot of stuff he's not proud of, and so he's kind of saying he may be thrown into hell. The sad comedians, this part I'm not sure of, might mean like the stand-up comics that try and laugh and joke about their life, even if it's fucked up.<br /> <br /> Of course, it's personal interpretation; and that's just one of the great things of Modest Mouse.
