This song is largely about people who tend to try and cover their eyes, insisting that, in a figural sense, the world is really flat, while events continue in their course. Rather than deal with change and face challenges, sometimes people will try to avoid or deny the truth by creating their own version of the truth. As a result, there is a lack of leadership when it is truely needed, and people become misguided and confused, as humanity blindly tries to steer a course while, of course, no one knows where we are really headed anyway, or who's behind the wheel.

"The Flat Earth Society is meeting far away... Singing happy little lies/ And the Bright Ship Humana is already on it's way... with grave determination... and no destination."

Actually, the flat earth society is a real organization. The song probably is about how blind people can be if they want, but they use real people.
