I've had the album for a while, but only recently listened carefully to the lyrics. It was actually at the time of hurricane Katrina, and I thought this song explained it completely.
"Till the mouth of some hurricane sweeps them away"

Although it's about a sad subject, it has a kind of optimistic feel.. "Sidney says God is watching so don’t fear now She says he’s bound to come, given time"
