I always thought of it as being about a war.
Breakdown:
Fire on the mountain
through the freeze, save yourself
there's evil in the garden
but you don't see it, I can tell
-Most people do not fully realize how terrible things can get. It's evil and destructive, but many donot know the full extent of it.
how do you sleep while the city's burning?
where do you go when you can't go home?
how do you drink when there's blood in the water?
where do you turn when the world moves on?
-how can people live when something as terrible as a war is happening. Rhetorical Questions.
hell, I see smoke out on the horizon
mama, get your baby, take her down to the water
I view the wind like a promise broken
I see the future but it's getting farther
-Mamma, save your child. Water represents safety from the 'fire'. "I see the future but it's getting farther" = It's getting more and more difficult to decipher the future of our world. Peace is getting harder and harder to imagine
