Unless I'm mistaken, the song seems to be about the inaction of people and someone's trying to convince them not just to do something, but to do something right.
"It's time to fuck or leave", make a damn decision on which one you're doing already.
But at the same time, the song seems to say that there's nothing wrong with being home at the end of a long day...and then that home is in the dirt. Or a grave. And with a burning future in the mountain, it seems like there's no future for the person who's laying in the dirt.
And then, finally, there's the awesome image of people taking pictures of a tidal wave that's about to kill them, while smiling, or grinning. So they don't get that they're in trouble, and they just think that what they're seeing is awesome.
So...maybe the song is about people who just don't get that the future's going to hit them like a ton of bricks unless they pay attention to what the hell they're doing. It's the dead town's last parade, but it feels like just another day, because they're not recognizing the fact that the town's dead.
Inability to see beyond the present and plan for the future. That's my interpretation.
