To actually put comments on WHAT THE SONG MEANS (after all, this is SongMeanings.com, NOT "SongsYouLike.com" or whatever)...
I think this song is a sort of sociological look at the world around us, "as we speak."
One line that particularly gets to me is "As we speak a broken-down mother asks herself why/ Is this the end of her precious time?" This is just one thing happening in the world around us.
"As We Speak" also has something of an epic feeling, because "as we speak, we turn to stone." I take that as meaning that as time goes on, people die, people are born, and ultimately, people become like stones: forever in existance, just in one form or another.
