this song is clearly about environmentalism. which is rare considering that the number twelve don't usually write political lyrics, although they are political in life(they've stated that they support obama, they don't usually write about it. the most clear example is "the bees need to stay busy, butterfly wings need to keep flowers in motion, the trail needs to stay warm, so you stay away from their home" also "you and everyone like you are selfish destroyers" and "i want to conserve, i want to protect, i want to defend, we have to preserve"
and the part where they say "take my picture i want to have proof of this history" implying that the environment wont last if nothing is done and jase wants a photo for history (how can i help, before this will end), once again commenting on the frailty of the environment.
