the first stanza is all about how society these days is all about being materialistically "wealthy". hes asking himself why do i go to town and look at all theses signs or store advertisments? its because, (only just realising) that he subconsiously wants more matieral posessions so he can feel a sense of belonging. not quite sure what the next little bit is but i think its just about humbling himself. the chorus is about how without God he would be lost. sinai was around the same place where moses and his people wandered in the desert for forty years. he is thinking about ending it all (jumping in the way of the cars) until God surrounds him with his love and he finds a sense of hope. im unsure about the next bit: "your pretty but your all i can see, like a thick fog" it could be a girl and how she got in the way of him getting closer to God (all i can see, thick fog) but aaron uses a girl as metaphors a lot, usually as temptation. in this case it could be the wordly things, new clothes, car etc. just thoughts
