This track by Chevelle explores themes of environmental preservation and the human impact on nature. The lyrics metaphorically suggest that humanity is trying to "save the earth" by putting it into jars, indicating a futile attempt to control or preserve something that is beyond our capacity. The phrase "we can't both become the same pawn that's made to fall" suggests a struggle with conformity and societal pressures. Furthermore, the band uses vivid imagery such as "oil that tastes like blood" and "stole the summer scent," hinting at industrial pollution and its negative effects. Overall, it's a powerful commentary on humans' relationship with nature and our responsibility towards it.
