This song is about the end of this planet. Most of the People of Earth have no idea what is coming to them. In the song, he talks about how all of these earthly possesions aren't going to be worth anything in the end. The people don't understand..."Someone stop this thing, turn it off". They want it to stop. They thought it was fiction. They thought it wasn't possible. But it won't be turned off. "Our hopes and dreams will be swallowed alive"... all of these pointless, worthless dreams will be shattered. Everything the average American works for and trys to achieve through his entire life will be absolutely meaningless. "WE ALWAYS SAID IT WOULDN'T END UP LIKE THIS". This can't be happening! We are supposed to rot in the ground! What is this?!?! This is immposible! People will be dumbfounded. Science tells us that it won't end up like this. We live our lives, then we die and rot. No. It also talks about us being cancer and a virus. Yes we are and continue to be every day. We wrap ourselves up in sin. It's EVERYWHERE. Every time we turn on the TV. We are the reason for this end. We go through all of this pain because we choose to sin. There will be a new heaven and Earth because this one is so sinful. This Earth will be destroyed because it is evil. And whos fault is it? Ours. "We always said it wouldn't end up like this."

Whoa.... that is an amazing coment. Its so deep. It's so sad that its true. Awesome song too!!
