This song tells the darker side of the story of America. Deforestation, Indian Removal, Needless destruction because of landlust. If you look back in time this is all true, as America was formed, people started to care less and less about the planet that gave them life and more about themselves and their wants, due to frequent distractions. It depicts what has happened on human's 'travel through time'. Eventually, if this keeps happening, Earth will come to no good, and we will consequently be reversed in time.
