Cover art for Time Trap lyrics by Built to Spill

It's saying that everything you "own" is really just fake, and the place that you call home is just where you happen to be, you could be anywhere. Our little lives are so insignifigant and pointless, and we are trapped by time and confinded to what we "have" now and will never have more. but "guess that's all fair now because guess that's all there ever was, gray and sprawling save your crawling" is saying, don't bother crawling and groping around in the pointless, material things we think matter in our daily lives. "do you want to save your life?" look at things as somethign more.
