Well, noting the name of the song it's probably about government (national anthem?). "Everyone is so near"-everyone is use to each other, easy to control. "What's going on?"-I don't believe he says this, maybe it's just me. "Everyone has got fear"-either means the citizens suspect something of their government or are ruled by fear (common in most societies). The sudden trumpet is when things start going wrong. Soon other instruments begin to join, and the drums begin to change: riots, mayhem, chaos; people are overthrwoing government. He screams "It's holdin' on" to signify that there is still some control. The 3rd time he is drowned out. the instruments still play and take on their own rythms. Soon the bass guitar stops-government is no longer present. The instruments play freely and horribly. Society has fallen apart. (grin)...maybe there's more to this song, but that's the basic of what I got. And the album version is better. Like the live recording though.
yeah, if that's right though, then it seems there is some order at the end, there's the bit that sounds sort of like how you'd expect a national anthem to sound, just at the very end.
