I believe this song is more so about human nature and our relationship to the natural world. The general idea of my interpretation is man's ignorance and lack of foresight.
"And fucking up your finger from pushing on the ring"
In other words maybe, assuming that things were meant for us even when they clearly don't fit....also about greed. We naturally assume that this world was made for us, this assumption leads us to do whatever we want with it...which as one can see today, detrimental to us (Fucking up the finger...)
"Crashing all the weddings wearing white"
Another statement where we disrupt order and hold no courtesy for nature. For anyone who doesn't know, only the bride is supposed to wear white at the wedding. It is her special day and she should be distinguished from guests. By wearing white, you show a lack of respect to the 'bride' by thinking the rules don't apply to you.
I think the next line is really beautiful, about the cap in the air and face on the glass. This I believe is saying, that our attempts at music and art in comparison to nature's beauty...is like comparing the a hat to a guitar. By holding it up, you also see that we are very proud, and still oblivious.
The song here increases tempo and becomes more frantic. Fire in the hole is a distress signal that would be used for an explosion in a closed area. In the same way, in this second part of the song, our lack of foresight does catch up to us. Its realized that the earth is a closed system and our resources provided by nature are not going to always be here (waterfalls are running thing).
That's one interpretation I thought of...I did not address everything, but gave my basic idea which may be completely wrong. Looking forward to see what other people interpret
