Beneath The Heart Of Darkness Lyrics

Beneath the heart of darkness
Lies an old machine that's dying
Spluttering like an army of artillery sporadically firing
The roots of the house are cracking, caving in
There's no way out, it's trapped in

Beneath the heart of darkness
Lies an old machine that's reeling
Forgotten dust and sunlight
Silent and removed from feeling
The peace in my mind is drowning, fading down
There's nothing left burning, it's all out

Beneath the heart of darkness
Lies an old machine that's...

Beneath the heart of darkness
Beneath the heart of darkness
Beneath the heart of darkness
Beneath the heart of darkness

I love this song but I have a hard time figuring out what it means... when I listen to it I get a feeling of hopelessness, like not being able to keep up with the times, turning obsolete, not being able to understand or get with the program, the zeitgeist, etc...

anyone?

The old dying machine in this song being talked about here, I believe is ambition, any aspirations for the future are being lost here & spit out into this makeshift void.
