Goven, I think you and I have this song's meaning down. This song is definitely about pollution. I like your interpretation of "1,000,000 miles" and "not another payoff". "no one is on lake michigan you labored on, lake michigan" I think this is alluding to a future where no one wants to live on Lake Michigan because its so dirty and that the people of Lake MIchigan only "labored on" instead of trying to clean up their environment. |

It seems like they are trying to send the message that America, and in particular the factories around Lake Michigan, does not have an energy policy or promote any sort of eco-friendliness. The whole "power politician" and "trust fund" stuff suggests that government is doing little to change our ways and provide a better environmental, or even economical situation for the generations to come. "Sky is burning" and "at least we're warm" means that we care more about the luxury of heat and electricity moreso than the future of our planet or country. I figure the whole "yellow uniform" section means that we are too busy working ("run yourself a million miles") and that we "can never see ourself [ringing all around it]" as being any sort of influence to this enveloping issue. Finally, the "get off my stack" seems to allude to the smoke stacks of factories near Lake Michigan and that we must "get off" the stacks by reducing our reliance on dirty, fossil fuels for energy. |

What do you think they mean by this: Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you I have some ideas but I want some more opinions |

i think this is one of dave's most emotional and powerful songs - it has tremendous meaning. even if this was written about business troubles, there sure is more to it. this is true dave piece of work. |
