I think this song is about Christians in the USA and their dilemma about the suggestions from the bible as to the return of Jesus Christ and how it seems as though it hasn't happened yet. I think it puts them in a uncomfortable situation in terms of their faith and what the absence of Christ's return does to them over the course of their lifetime, but also in terms of the greater community of Christians as a whole. Waiting for the return of Jesus as prophecized is patient work. I hope they aren't going nutty from waiting on something so important to them like this, you know?
