Not only is this song what Jon is saying, but man'o'man is he crying out in this song (me too). He's tired of the wars going on inside and outside. He sees everything we've been working towards, like cars, homes, money, etc. But all this leads to "entropy and aching". The past few CD's have been about exactly these things, about how the more organized cultures are ignorant and aiming for the wrong things. Songs such as: We Were Meant to Live, Lonely Nation, Happy is a Yuppie Word (by the way, look at the book of Ecclesiastes. I'm pretty sure this is an influence in Switchfoot songs) Easier Than Love, etc. Jon and the rest of the band is definitely tired of the things he sees and wants something done, and not just talk about it. We need to be broken. "Come on and break me."
