What I imagine when I hear the song and lyrics is a planet Earth that is completely dried up due to global warming caused by pollution. Mankind is nearly completely extinct, and they wander aimlessly across the desert Earth, in search of water. When they finally find water, it is yellow and highly contaminated with decay and toxins, but they are grateful to drink from it. Yeah, I have quite the imagination.
