you know i remember reading somewhere that this album was full of Marxist references and while there are many references to anti-war, anti-god, and materialistic outlooks, i haven't seen anything distinctly communist, except maybeeeee this song??
An estate is private property and all of one's property. it being colored grey probably adds a negetive connotation to it too. in this song, the protagonist and lover are attempting to get away from the grey estates because he references "rolling past them" as they attempt to get to this "new world." Also, "and if it's loud enough it will erase the sound of one hundred thousand sad inventions. let them rot inside the grey estates." So the protagonist is willing to give up most worldly assests , particularly private property and all the technical advancements of the modern world. This is a bit of a stretch but is possible...
