Can't believe there are no comments! I love that middle stanza. You have to lose everything and separate yourself from it all to know where you stand. Very zen. Perhaps a statement about materialism?
At the end he's kinda questioning society.... Are we evolving or going backwards? I think a lot of people wonder this about technology--are we helping ourselves or hurting ourselves in the long run, and is it a reversible change, but I don't know whether the last stanza is strictly about technology, it could easily be about really any constantly changing thing in the world, whether personal like a relationship or massive like the state of the globe.
The idea of being all together alone is very odd (and the song title has to be changed!) and one of those earthy, semi-spiritual thoughts that Cloud Cult sings so much about. Not really sure how to word what it means, I think it's just one of those things you understand.
