I think the song is about mankinds interest in being the center of attention. That our individual needs should be catered too, and are more important than everyone elses.
Then, there's sort of a realization of the miserable society that was created with that mindset and we ask god to come and help us. God doesn't. And without god having our backs, we realize that it's up to all of us, together, to strengthen ourselves and the world around us without relying on him.
Nice interpretation. I see it very similar, and I would like to contribute to your interpretation.

I think you nailed it on the head with your first paragraph. I feel this songs is definitely speaking out on the concept of being selfish, rather than selfless-- and because we are selfish, we are caught in our own self-consumption. Our own individual needs consume are every day lives, when ideally this world could be a better place if we stood united to accomplish our needs as a whole.

The ending of the song speaks volumes to me, and I take it very...
The ending of the song speaks volumes to me, and I take it very literal; not so poetic, although I am not taking it from the band. In regards to my paragraph above, we are consumed in our individual needs: we are constantly trying to achieve more personal gain, regardless of it being a necessity or not. What comes to mind? Science. Many who don't believe in God seek answers through science. I think the line, "You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still. Stop, listen, and learn" is the icing on the cake to that debate. What I mean is, science can only go so far, and then some questions remain unanswered-- which is where faith comes in to play.
Those who believe in God, or a higher being, most likely don't believe in science making such advances as traveling at the speed of light, nor making time stand still. If you disagree, you need to get off the Star Trek episodes.
Ending of the song pretty much says, "You won't ever play god". Different interpretation, but meh, it's just that: an Interpretation.

That's just my interpretation though.
