This song is the manifestatin of the weird vacant feeling you get sometimes at the airport, when you haven't slept and your body is thrown off from the flights and the fluorescent lights start to get to you and you start thinking about your life.
It's just him thinking about life, what his life means in relation the world, trying to put it all in terms he can explain or understand, something like a math equation. I think the conclusion he comes away with, though, is that there is no conclusion. "We ain't sure where you stand." Nobody knows -- nobody has ever known, not for sure, and nobody ever will.
