ok im might be a bit high, but i think this song is about 2012, and is predicting great interplanetary disaster will cause earth to be nearly, or totally destroyed. I heard on the news that some where in the E.U. they are making huge under ground seed banks with their own air supplies and food and stuff."Hiding in the hills" The earths temperature could also drastically heat up to higher tempreture caused by, something like a Solar storms hitting the earth and causing violent reactions within the earths tectonic plates and atmosphere, and perhaps gvt weather modification plans? The very first line says very obviously says its not a happy song, "And though you'd like to hear a song That sings everything's alright" these guys just saying the straight skinny. so obvious that some of us cant see it cos...i dunno. The chorus could be talking about how perhaps the earths few elites will flee the planet and leave the majority of the population to fend for them selves... also i think there's a bit about weather modification tatics with chemtrails and stuff, i know it might sound crazy but the gvt could be controlling the weather for their own unjustified gains, "What would you leave behind when all your fields are dead? When your territories are dried out and your cities drowned and swept?" and that 'here it goes again' part kinda makes it sound like its some kinda cycle that the earth has gonna a few times before? thats where it gets intune with the 2012 stuff and ancient civilizations saying the earth has been destroyed many times before... and the last the lines "to deny or despair They're really just the same ..." sounds like some Buddhist philosophy or something... but then i again i maybe totally stoned outta my skull and just writing total utter nonsense??? 42 ???

My Interpretation

It could be a simple as climate change, But I like to think it runs deeper.

Consider the idea of a more generalized legacy, a more personalized message of perpetuity. The idea that we are forever, dispite our meager finite intentions, that our induviduality is merely a vice and life persists. We can strive for the ideals of our own life, or we can become ideals for the future, or we can do both, but not without courage and acceptance of our own mortalities and moral obligations.

So easy is it to monger the good life and become captive to...
