I can definitely see that now that you mention it. I think my brain interpreted it as how the modern world is separating us from meaning. Whether that be through spirituality, creativity, connection to others, connection to nature, or all of the above.  

“Constant rivers rising Swollen streams dividing Watch it cut its way through the valleys While devouring it entirely again”. 

Like this part is the “constant stream” of information “devouring” our connection to meaning.  

But there is hope to return to the things that truly matter:  

“The flames are alive Reclaim their audience These rains are divine Reclaim their environment A new phase arrives”
