The first section speaks about western culture and our technological society, namely the huge buildings that are taking over the green places of the earth...creating changes that no one knew would come of it all.
I feel that the second section is telling us to face up to what we've done and realize that it isn't going to last much longer, possibly as a result of what the first section talks about; the destruction of nature by so called 'civilization'. We must lament the passing of our world because this modern state and modern time is going to end.
The third section seems to speak as if everything had already ended and humans have begun to die off, metaphorically or literally...we have become extinct either in our way of life or physically we are no longer present on the planet.
The last section speaks about the world that has been created and how it has affected human life and mind. We have already plugged into the matrix, already uploaded our souls into machines. Holding onto the sentimental feeling that we are still human is futile because even though many of us don't realize it, we have become more machine and human.
Overall I think this song has a strong message of the ending of human life as we know it, whether it is our end as a species or an evolution into another form, or both...
