I know this song was probably/possibly written about Kevin Moore and his creative differences with the band, but my interpretation when I first heard it was this:
A guy, probably getting on in his years, realizes some sort of talent, but feels trapped by the day-to-day business of working life. He becomes torn to the extent where he can't even get out of his car to go to work. He realizes that his time is short, and he has to act now.
As someone else mentioned, the voice samples are from James Joyce. As much as I LOVE Jordan Rudess's work, I miss Moore's use of voice samples.
