Well this is my first post on this site. I am probably one of the biggest SFK fans out there (but everyone who really knows them them feels that way i guess). They have a way of touching you with their lyrics and this song is no exception. I think that this is about a man who gives to society and waits for his reward but it never comes. "He sees the buildings waiting. He sees them tired and leaning on eachother." This is a great use of symbolism. I believe it refers to how this man sees the people around him losing spirit and he's done so much and "planned it like a battle" but the bleek reality is that everything comes unstuck in the end.
