At a concert Marc said that this song is about how pitiful the world must look. We seem to handle all problems with war and violence. The song tells the story of how a boys perception of the world changes as he grows older. At first the world looks innocent and peaceful but it seems so violent when he grows older. The moon looks as if it's laughing at us (smiling down upon our war), but ultimately the moon is trapped. No matter what happens the moon can't escape the Earth so we can laugh at it.
