I love this song. I love the way it just kind of fades out almost as if the last verse isn't finished yet.

The song seems to be about the slow decline of civilization the degradation of the earth and the death of mankind.

Spot on. Just heard the song again. One of the best "classic" (i.e before Odelay) Beck songs.

I too, love the closing line about the clearest dream that ever drifted by that's heard as the song drifts out of consciousness.
