You are offbase on your interpretation of this song. Has nothing to do with the band taking off as you say. The train is merely a metaphor for the journey of life in general, and the window/mirror is a metaphore for dwelling on the past, reflecting on the past. Hence the window that the singer refers to, as he looks at it more closely, he realizes it's a mirror. I.E. as he gazes out onto the flat plain with its peaks of joy and valleys of sorrow, it is his own life that he is looking upon.

Throughout the rest of the song, things like "I would rarely care" and the line before it, and the line "memories are moment's doom" seem to suggest that the singer doesn't believe that such reflection on one's own past is all that worth while, considering he also states that the train is of jewels and gold. So, I take it to mean that if the ride you're on is so grand, why care about the past? Now, someone like tim will take what I just said regarding a "ride so grand" and use it as a way to assert that his original theory of the band taking off being the primary subject matter of the song is correct, but I do not agree with such a narrow and specific interpretation of the lyrics, nor do I find anything in the lyrics to suggest that is the correct interpretation.
Is that not what I said just simplified?

Also, calling people idiots is retarded.
