I was trying to look for the meaning of this song and I kept listening to it over and over again while I drove from store to store. I agree, it deals with global warming. There is another meaning I feel goes with it. Overall, we need to come as one and defend our city which is Earth. "The World is an Island now" shows us how much the world is separated by different lands. Different continents on their own island by themselves instead of all of us coming together. "And survival hinged on an attempt by the humble" The humble are those trying to defend our Atlantis which is run by greedy people. The humble voices are many but we should speak as one. I love this song.
