This song is about trying to find a reason for existence or some sort of purpose in life. We travel the world to find the answer to why we exist yet we won't find anything because no one knows the answer to this question. I think the cows in the city sleeping like babies refers to the saying "ignorance is bliss" and the peace we might have if we didn't have the intelligence to worry about the question "why?" The moral of this song is that life is too short and we will die before we can truly analyze any reason for our existence. We are just playing a part in the world and after we die we our part on this world will end.
