I think this song is about getting rid of everything the world currently possesses and starting again, but that objective is a daunting and over-whelming task for the person narrating the song, who I also think is struggling to become recognized as a deity in his own right. This is shown in the 'Now my head is locked in the direction of the sun...' segment, as if he is being obstructed by God's creation of natural existence.
'In this low light town when my shift begins the streets reflecting yellow, yellow, yellow in the vacancy that overwhelms the red, red, red, your vehicle the color of expansion.'
I believe that quote reflects another type of obsutruction that is frustrating the "narrator" (if you will), because I interpret this as a reference to traffic light colours, 'yellow' describing society waiting for change but being overhelmed by 'red', which of course means to stop. The 'vehicle' refers to humanity, and how they are forced to pause and wait when told to.
Naturally, the title 'Kill The Switch' is referring to turning off everything and 'journeys through the dark' speaking of sleep; waking and dreaming, realizing all the amibitions of man are simply a pipe-dream, perhaps.
That said, however, the quote 'This is no dream. Trees have turned to skeleton, roots teased and knotted just below the surface skin of ground.' is talking about the real world, and how its demise has decayed over time and become meaningless, lonely and empty. 'Life is lowly, lowly anonymity' also refers to this theory, and 'In the space of a smile I found sleep' further relates to a dream of perfection and ridding of the contrite state of the world.
