I think its about our generation and how greedy we are, like "we've been waiting all our lives
for things we've always had but have no eyes to see". I think that means we always want, but they are the things that we already have but we are so greedy that we don't see that.
But then I think its saying that somethings going to change "somethin' new is going to happen the most natural thing but nothin' we'd expect", but we just don't know it.
And then we'll realize everything we have: "all these buildings and mountains slowly they'll arise before our eyes". "we drink our wine and wonder why we're really here what's the point of even asking you take the good and bad and make the best of it" and that's when everythings changed.
And I think this:
have you watched the cities move
does nature fall before
this age of industry
for today I'll let it go
you've been good to me
have I been good to you
Is trying to say that we don't look around us and appreciate things, we only want what the industry can give us.

Great song, and I totally agree with simdanes.
