I think this song is about the unseen complexity of everyday life. As humans, and more specifically, as Americans we just go about our lives, going to parties, doing the cool things, never considering the nature of the ground we stand on or the hopelessly complex strings of atoms and chemical equations that form our bodies.
This notion seems to be weaved in with a tale of a man who goes to a party, meets a woman he is very attracted to, then never sees again.
