Greg has realised that time is something relative which means that every year is shorter than the one before. He has many references to this, such as "like a magic speeding clock", "the world is turning faster but it's just one way", "catapulting you through the haze" and in this song"decaying ever faster".
I think that the simple message he's trying to deliver is "don't waste your time, because you'll be dead much sooner than you think". Many people live their lives without questioning anything on their own. They may have very strong opinions about things, but all they really is to recite what someone else has told them. Whether it is global warming or religion very few people actually do research on their own to get their opinion. Greg tells you to find out what your talents are, get an education and use your knowledge to leave a mark on the planet. Think before you die in other words. |

I'm thinking it's about people getting older and not able to cope with father time and the effects of the body. "Everybody is a bastard"; I think is probably we all end up alone one day. And maybe in the end a little nudge to be put out of the misery.
