I don't really think this song has a meaning, so much as a thesis; like Down. Down was a song he wrote from having a thought in his head. From the video for this song, we see Civil War troops and astronauts. In the video, both a troop and an astronaut seem to be in distress and the others try to help him. Pressure and anxiety begin to build when time starts to run out; they can't be pressured, and if they are, bad things are going to come around. They're just passengers (astronauts) and so dangerous (troops). His thesis is that pressure and anxiety build up, quite so in this situation.
"Faster; I dream in speeds of ashes; my heart, it beats and crashes; I'm running from the truth; 'Cause it fucks with my mind. Talking; playing after hours; Time is bending outward; I'm falling to my knees; to crawl home, safe inside." This is what the astronaut is thinking when he's in trouble in the station, after long hours and being faced with a fallacy of a sort; a false dilemma of life or death.
"Waiting; we’re silly, we're so reckless; the city, it's so heartless; a bottle full of crude; that washed up in the tide. Handsome and calloused young believers; Hiding, plotting schemers; and rotting out like fruit; that was left here to die." This is what the troop is thinking when he is faced with a similar dilemma. Looking back he sees how he living his life and how silly it was.
The overall themes again being that both are being tormented with anxiety and pressure.
