I think this song can be about any situation where something bad is looming on the horizon and all you can do is feel helpless and wait.
I like the depth of fear and panic that this song is able to capture, especially with the delivery of:
"It's coming like a big freight train
It's spreading like a wild flame
You know it's coming all our ways
So dig your dirt and make your grave"
Plus it sounds so good too.
I also wondered what other peoples' interpretations of the line "an angry sea striking a wave with me." I'm confused as to what the action is, and I have no idea about its significance song meaning-wise.
