I love how this song stretches between fading memories of halcyon childhood spent summer days, the continued spiral we seem to be on, rising sea levels, overpopulation and some kind of relationship the narrator had with a woman that is long dead and gone; possibly murdered. It's a very dark and rich narrative...
Lockstepping is a close single filed march, I think this line is kind of comparing the earth's billions to drones or soldiers and "in the certainty that more need to be born" is skepticism towards overpopulation.
Passports please...
Maybe refers to the unholy misery of frequent flights, I think this verse hints at the disintegration of a person due to too much time spent traveling. One of Liddiard's solo songs deals with similar themes.
Lockheed Martin is an aerospace, security and defence company, the line could be a nod to a flight in 1985 that crashed after flying into a microburst - the plane was a Lockheed TriStar I believe. Airbus SAS is a manufacturing division, possibly be referring to the French Airbus that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, sorry I can't remember what year.
I saw The Drones on their most recent tour in Spain with the most intelligent and beautiful woman I have ever had the pleasure of spending time with... and I forget her all the time these days and be forgotten too... if only. They are definitely a band worth seeing live, I think I'll be seeing them for years to come.
