The song starts out 'Go Tell All Your Friends That This Is The End' and is either from the PoV of the aliens or from the PoV of the main character OF THIS SONG.
The main character of this song is someone who was abducted from the same aliens who are invading again (think Independence Day) and he was cast off as insane. But now the aliens have invaded, reclaiming the Earth, and he's telling other humans that "We're screwed," pretty much =P
"What Are The Clouds Running From?" I think the Mothership is entering Earth, and this causes some environmental differences. The sky clears and everything. Hence "Something is wrong. Spit it out."
The chorus is sung from the PoV of the abducted person. Quite self-explanatory.
"THere's something in the air... Tonight I'm wide awake'' etc. I think this could also be from the PoV of the abducted person. I think he's laying in bed remembering his experience with the aliens when he was abducted before, about his feelings when he was in the Mothership - and now he's feeling the same feelings again, as if the Mothership has returned - which it has!!
"I Am Sane. I Am Sane."
He is defending his sanity. After he was abducted, people branded him insane - but now the aliens are here.
"My Soul Felt So Safe Up There, No Self-Centred Natives Destroying Our Earth"
I think the main character is finding himself with the aliens. Seeing things from their PoV. So he sees himself on their side now, because he felt 'normal' when he was with them.
Basically, this guy gets abducted. He tells people about it but is branded insane - this all happened before this album began. Now, the album has begun and the aliens are back again and are invading the Earth and Humanity. The guy finally realises he felt safer with the aliens than with the humans, so he sees himself as one of them. He knows he wasn't insane, but he felt saner than ever when he was in the mothership.
