My interpretation of this song (rightly or wrongly) is that it is to do with relationships. I'm probably wrong but it works very well if you apply it to a relationship that's drifting in the wind. I love this bit:
"I think I've known it for a long time
Suffice to say, it's been a while
You're too afraid to face the outcome;
Quite likely you're a failure
It's a shitty thing to say,
But hey man, the clock is ticking"
It makes me reflect on my own relationship. I've known for a long time it's not working, but I'm too afraid to face the outcome, too afraid to end the story. It certainly is a shitty thing to say but the clock is ticking and I'm wasting my life in the meantime.
Brilliant song though, as is the whole album. I hope My Dinosaur Life is as good, but from the sounds of it it's going to be heavier.
