Considering Dev was diagnosed as bipolar at this time and was off his meds, this song could very well just be nonsensical rambling...
... however, the only thing I can make from this (I can't understand what the hell he's saying in the song) but from the lyrics I would guess consumerism is people's way for filling the gaps in their lives caused by loneliness. And yes, Zimmil, when people dream of/hallucinate of ants, it's commonly held that their alone or at least feel that way. It's suggested it's because ants are almost always in groups and that a person longs for that but that's only my theory.
Anyway, more to the song, it just seems like a bunch of ridiculous sounds and lyrics thrown together when just listening to it, but analysing it, it definitely sounds like it's about being lonely and that we buy pointless shit to distract us from feeling that way.
