Lyric discussion by SCIFI 

i think is a treatise on the malformation of society: the "long line of cars" referes to autonominous drivers. ... There's no single explanation There's no central destination ... certainly sounds like the distributed chaos of a hundres drivers all looking out for them selfs. ... we don't wonder where we're going Or remember where we've been ... ever watched ants swarming? ever watched a traffic jam? ever wonder what millions of independant thoughpatters colliding look like?

the lines: ... We've got to keep this traffic Flowing and accept a little sin ... and ... We've got to keep this fire burning and accept a little gray ... seems to represent a society that has sacrificed happiness and individuality for continuity.
