Lyric discussion by stephen 11 

To me it rings clearly about having a sense of path, certainty and clarity about your life values and to some extent, personal direction....but then having some or all of that shredded in the whitewater's of life experience and in that process losing your map but longing to regain your previous sense of clarity.
Makes me think of an early scene in a bugs life where a leaf drops in the path of a trail of ants and it throws them into pandemonium because they've "lost the thread".
