I think the song is commenting on how futile it is to be so obsessed with commercial culture. He brings up Coca-Cola, T-Shirts with ironic slogans, Spas and Spray Tans, and plastic clothing. We are surrounded with the knowledge of our inevitable decay (tiny cities made of ashes), yet we still can't let go of these objects that we care for. That is what the chorus means when it says "Does anybody know a way a body could get away?" Is there away for my body to get away from death/decay, so that I can keep consuming these unimportant things? Brock's answer would obviously be a no. Although he is known for his disbelief in a god, this song seems to share some ideology with one.
