ok i just wanna start out by saying i didnt bother to read every single comment so i might just be repeating someone... if so sorry. anyways i agree this is a creepy song. it is pretty clearly about nuclear war although its open to interpretation... "moving down the road towards tiny cities made of ashes" refers to moving towards nuclear destruction. the coca cola and spa parts suggest to me that we are distracted by commercial luxuries so we ignore this.. also i noticed that issac chose to say "a body" instead of "somebody" which is srta creepy to me... but hey thats just me... i never thought about the glasses thing that way tho, i like that interpretation.
