To me this song is about the experiences of those who lived thru the aftermath of Katrina and the lack of government help.
The lyrics "You can't come clean beneath the tides of the washout" could be translated as the government having the blood of NOLA's dead on it's hands OR the fact that after a catastrophe like Katrina, or any other for that matter where you have lost pretty much everything, it is very hard to put away one's vices. It also could mean that for anyone that lived thru Katrina and the aftermath will not soon forget it.
The guitar and drum combo in this song reminds me of Led Zeppelin's When the Levee Breaks.
