If you think about it, this song could be about what happens when you waste your time.
The people represented in the museum are all dead and gone, and "known for the lack of words" that they speak.
"Now he is one, now she is one, now they are one" could be those people who die and are put in the red museum. The glass eyes and wooden teeth only falsely represent them as they were when they were alive, and they are forever locked in by the walls with "iron will" and "a sense of reach".
The old adage, "Red skies at morning, sailors take warning" is also in this song, a warning of the limited time you have.
Take advantage of time while you still have it, cause you can't stop it from moving on without you.
