In my opinion, this song references public ignorance of any form - any event when the public has refused to open their eyes rather than information being hid from them. An example would be how nothing is really being done to stop global warming. While economic fuels are being implemented, it is not as drastic as it should be and oil is still being mined - at this moment, there is probably still a dangerous amount of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere. More to the point, its about the pessimism, the attitude that a group of dedicated people can't change the world. If someone pledges to make a difference in this day and age, they are met with scoffs and "you'll never do it". But who says? Such pessimism and apathy is exactly why our world is fucked up, because no-one has the balls to step up to the plate and do anything so we all just stoically accept whatever fate we have and fail to make any sort of change.
