This is a song about an office worker who ends up being over-stressed to the point of a mental melt-down. As the song goes, the character comes to realize that his entire upbringing of being told how to be in order to fit in, what to study, where to attend university, and what career path to pursue has led him to the end of a road arriving at an ultimately unhappy state of being. The character is without words, feelings, or ways of expressing why, concluding that it is a planetary syndrome from the effects of living in contemporary societal barriers.
lyrics
Destiny calling, saying you are on a wire, cannot breathe nor speak and you look a disaster and you're in overload, you're in overload mode. It must've been the distance in your conversations, the differences in motivation, the synthesis in obligations of this planet's life. Your destiny's listening when you sound like you're in denial of the moments following all of us after each day we are told that we must all take one road and no discussion of the distances in conversations, the differences in motivation, the synthesis in obligations of this planet's life.
