A lot of Midlake songs I've listened to seem to revolve around not thinking on one level/focusing too deeply on any one given thing.
I don't know if the song refers to expanding consciousness or expending your perspective.
The last lyric is kinda like a resignation, either by the singer himself or the rest of the world. "Its pretty in here" b/c its what we're used to. It's safer here than it is to explore.
The last phrase is clearly a resignation and acceptance that he can do nothing about it, that he feels completely powerless to oppose the much larger forces that govern those changes that he views unfit.
