When I listen to this song...what it says to me...
"This place I past is in my eyes." Speaking about the world and the things of the world that are so amazing and dazzling in your natural eyes.
It speak to me about racing against the world, racing against yourself. Because I want to cling to the world, I want the things that seem so good. But when I touch the world, "The words you spoke blow away like leaves in time." God's words vanish from me because I can not hold onto him and the world at once.
God wants me to give him everything that I have, my attentions, my desires, my heart.
I see the world and I see everything it has to offer me on the surface and I see the waste that leaves behind as well, the way it desecrates people.
I see all the dreams that I have, whether it's to own a mansion or to get closer to God, "My deep and shallow dreams."
But in the place where God is, there is escape from the World, from it's destruction.
However...If I keep hold to the world, my knowledge of the world, if I release God and cling to the clothing, the tv shows, the jewelry, the money, the sex, the drugs , the gossip, the celebrity worship, if I keep hold to what the world has to offer, sooner or later it will die within my fingers and it will all just be gone.
So it's back to the race, against time, the race against myself to release All that I cling to...to make sure that all I hold to is God, and I let God have every piece of me, my attention, my love, my dedication, my life, my wishes, my hopes, my dreams, my desires. Because God, wants everything, he doesn't just want of me what the world has left, he wants all of me.
I'm not quite sure that's how they meant the song when they wrote it, that is just how it's plays to me, that is what is relevant to me.
It might also be about the world, making fools of us..using us, teasing us with dreams and drawing us in and sucking the life from us..heh but I'm just going off of what it means to me.
The chorus leads me to believe that this song could be an account of the Genesis flood:

This is oceans in.
Races start again.
Cause you want everything.

Races start again.
Cause you want everything.

"Races start again" representing the split of tribes and tongues, along with the geographical separation caused by the flood.

"Cause you want everything" representing roots of sin (pride, discontentment, etc) and man's attitude, correlating to God's desire to wipe the earth clean with flood waters.
