You know, It dissapoints me a bit to see no comments on such an amazing song.
The first verse, to me, is making a statement about the vastness of the world, and how insignificant a single human life is to it. "Unequal to the sweeping curve of life,stand on this single print of time."
The meaning I take from the chorus is a sort of realization of the difference the human race in general does make, stating that "human wheels" keep the world moving forward."While the clock keeps the pace" I guess could refer to the keeping of history;but seeing how humans keep the world going does "help the light to my face"
I am not quite sure about the second verse, though it seems almost to refer to a dissapointing or dismal part of the timeline.
The meaning of the third verse seems like a simple enough meaning.
Keep im mind,this is simply my opinion,I would love to hear other people's interpretations of the lyrics.I have another theory about the point of view the song is coming from, but I want to read other people's ideas.
