"But it was like to stop consuming is to stop being human" even when "the signs were clear"
This sing is without a doubt about man's current situation in the world. he's basically saying humans have become total consumers and we don't know how to stop consuming the earth even though we have evidence that our consumption-centered society of today will destroy us in the future.
In the beginning he talks about after humanity's destroyed everything, which is the 'end of the story':
"So this is the end of the story,
Everything we had, everything we did,
Is buried in dust,
And this dust is all that's left of us.
But only a few ever worried."
The few that worried are those that actually cared about turning humanity's around from destroying its earth to a sustainable future
The chorus line he sung over and over is pretty simple as well:
"We walk the plank with our eyes wide open"
He's saying we're basically choosing death (a.k.a. "walking the plank") even though we can see and could make an attempt to save ourselves by turning around our current direction
