to me... this is about living a life as a passenger. doing what others do, get carried along in the carriage of a culture or a way of life. Your worth or life is framed by a picket fence and salary! Great line and riff.

i think this got on Triple J's hottest 100 a few years back, and with good reason. It's a bloody good song. I 'm not entirely sure about the entire song, but it feels like they're trying to lend a hand to someone who is stuvk in a place when they would rather see the world...
