Well, This song is about life and how it comes and goes.
The first verse being about the walk through life through "stubborn beauty" (which is how describes the universe, as beauty that hasn't realized itself). The walk lasts from the sun rising to the sun setting (the beginning and end of a lifetime) and how you never really end up very much further than where you started.
The first chorus mentions carbons anniversary(every living thing on earth is a carbon based life form.) this is about the circle of each individual life, from start to end as an anniversary of the life death phenomenon. The parting of the sensory is describing that death is merely the parting from conscious self and the senses that allow you to experience the world in their individual ways. No heaven or hell. Old old news to read(I always thought it was old old mystery, referring to the mystery of life and death contemplated since humans learned how to think critically.) would mean that it's just old news, it's been around for a long time and we're tired of it.
My favorite part
Who the Hell made you the boss?
we placed our chips in all the right spots
but still lost
any shithead who would ever walk
could take a ship and do a much finer job
This fit like clothes made out of wasps
Aw, Fuck it I guess I lost
This is basically referring to life as a ship and God being the captain or boss. The writer is asking god who made him the boss? because it wasn't any public election, he was automatically in charge. He's saying that we did everything the way we were told but we still lost, still died. And that any shithead who would ever walk could do better than God at his job. This fit like clothes made out of wasps, something being made to be comfortable but is actually very painful and uncomfortable, life in otherwords. And in the end, giving up.
Who the hell made you the boss?
If you say what to do, I know what not to stop
If you were the ship who would ever get on?
The weather changed and for the worse
It came down on us like it had been rehearsed
Not like you hoped, but change will surely come
And be awful for most, but really good for some
I took a trip to the exact same spot
We'd pulled the trigger, but we forgot to cock
And every single shot
Aw, fuck it, I guess we lost
Again questioning god's existence and morals. The second part being that there's plenty of rules but they don't cover everything. No one would ever follow you if they knew what you were really like. Everything is going downhill(End of the world as we know it) It all happened so elegantly and smooth like it was planned. We hoped it would be better but it only came true for some( the rich?) and awful for most(The poor?) I lived my life and tried everything but wasn't quite prepared for it every single time. And again giving up.
The rest of the song is about dying and someone or something taking his/her Carbon to continue life, Also about being alive and taking others carbon. And how it's all one big circle, an equilibrium.
