This is what i get from the song

it is largely based on the subject of global warming. The directions (N, S, E, W) are the four winds of heaven the cars crashing in the west refers to the public transportation movement The ice giving out it obvious The lights going out is energy conservation The sun shining is the increasing temperatures due to global warming

Short sleeves in the winter also refers to the increase in temperature and decline in seasonal change.

lullably sounds from the engine refers to americas dependence on machines and the use of fossil fuels. the coffin is styrofoam because it is a by-product

the murderer still on the lam is the governments constant negligence the iron refers to business and industry which is why it controls democracy

then again, im sure im looking to deeply into this

whoa thats really good!

The Four Winds as NESW makes a whole lot of sense... I like where you're going
