I'd like to offer what I think of when I hear this song. More my interpretation than what the artist meant to say through this song.
I think it's about the earth. The lines
'Rivers of milk are running dry, /Can't you hear the dolphins crying?
What'll we do when our babies scream? / Fill their mouths with some acid rain?'
and
'Oh Mary, can you hear me?/ Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid / We're just waking up
And I hear help is on the way'
It just makes me think of everything I know of how people have abused the earth. It makes me think of Global Warming, how people are 'waking up'. I'm not a major tree-hugger, but I enjoy nature's beauty, and every time I heard the words, I thought of the earth.
Just noticed the comments of dragonflyeyes and vodkaism. Huh, cool =)
