ive a feeling that this magnificent song is a representation of a rigourous touring schedule (which atdi actually failed to complete due to chronic exhaustion, leading to the split). the first verse in particular is suggestive of this: "A neutered is the vastness
Hallow vacuum check the
Oxygen tanks"
atdi tackling the massive emptiness, penetrating various places in the world, ensuring that they have enough life in them to do so, ie oxygen. "Pucker up and kiss the asphalt now" is a sarcastic and ironic reference to how they detest the road.
the rest of the song relays the desire for contact with home, highlighting the sickness of touring and also the dependance on technical equipment for contact and also for performance. the video also shows the many negative aspects of touring, such as pushing the vehicle down the road and seemingly endless footage of atdi stage action.
after reading the other interesting interpretations of the song, i do not see suicide theory as credible although it would make sense if there was self hatred and it is impossible to rule out the idea of suicidal thoughts during the tour, as i dont personally know the band.
so they are my thoughts behind the song, its probable im incorrect, but i suppose this is more food for thought
for others.
