hmm...I think the song is about the location where the band recorded this album. Veckatimest is a small, secluded island that's part of Massachusetts. According to Wikipedia, it registered as uninhabited by the 2000 census. The lyrics do give a sense of seclusion: "In the end (You'll never find me now)" or "Avert your eyes from all of this"
And the lyrics do seem to imply that they band enjoyed it there, since they refer to it as a haven. At the same time, it seems like they're wondering how they'll readjust to society once they leave: "In regards to the last word/It's not the last you'll hear"
I think it's a great opener for the album...it's expansive and intricate, and at times it's slightly eerie...much like the rest of the songs on the album.
