All about disillusionment with modern life. We've seen humanities great achievements (the "Space Race") and now we must accept whatever life gives us, and make do with it. Also, the lines about I-Ching show the person exchanging a magical gift (to "see into the future") for the comforts of giving in to the system, ie. heating. (Though I don't want to come across as a total hippy, this is the way things are.) Wonderful song.
