i kind of feel like there is a reference to the movie American Beauty.
"Find yourself watching M.A.S.H.
Every night on the couch" - in the movie the dad and mom don't relate anymore so they just watch mash every night.
and
"so much beauty it could make you cry"- the main character films random things in the world that no one would take a second glance at but are so beautiful. while explaining his favorite thing he's ever filmed (a plastic bag in the wind), he says there is just so much beauty in the world that sometimes he feels like he could just burst. and then he cries.
i'm sure that this song isn't just about the movie. it's about opening our eyes to see all the beauty in the world so we can enjoy life more.
