The Holocene is basically the last ~10,000 years that the Earth has existed; in other words, all of the world's written history and the entirety modern civilization--it's a song about points in time where you realize you're part of something much bigger. The specific times aren't really as important as the overall idea, which is why they appear in glimpses, yet the overall feeling, that "I could see for miles, miles, miles..." is recurring.
Beautiful song, beautiful images, and beautiful idea. The best song on the album.
The Holocene is a geological epoch. He's not saying that the earth is 10,000 years old just that the Holocene period has lasted just over 10,000 years and continues into the present day.

Very nice point. Though saying that the earth is even approximately 10,000 years old is a little far fetched.

The world is more like billions of years old...but whatever, no biggy.
