I think it's about human complacency and how easy it is to get caught up in our own lives and forget that we can make real change in this world. "When we realize that once we're broken nothing mends We're just skirting on the surface" Skirting on the surface to me means ignoring what's going on in the world. Only paying attention to our own shallow lives, having our heads in the clouds and giving up on social change. "Will you dive-bomb the surface? Dull eyes trying to pull you through the ice Being drawn to the ledge" To me this means, "Will you open your eyes to what's going on in the world, or just buy what you're told...will you search for truth or live in a world of ignorance?" The "dull eyes" part referring to the people who live in a constant state of fear and who are ignorant to what goes on under the "surface". The ones that talk about how the apocalypse is coming and how it doesn't matter what we do because we're all going to die anyway. Being drawn to the edge is buying into that foolish logic. Giving up on making this world a better place.
