I've talked to Joseph a bit about this song, and he told me it all relates back to the psychedelic experience. It's about the search for purpose and understanding: relativity (right on this very spot that I am standing kids are blissing in the spare room lightyears away) and new physics, understanding that we're just matter stuck to an "unobservable scaffolding for planets and stars" made of dark matter.
This song just reminds me of a spiritual journey - scrambling to the dunes to puke under the pale moon, laughing years later as you feel the full weight of all that dark energy, propelling everything away from everything else. No matter how much time it's been, you're always followed by your past like a Crown Vic in the rearview.
