The song is about people ‘who are invisible’ where you have an attachment / relationship to them but at the same time feel nothing. The song uses metaphors of holiday vacations, my house getting broken into (did happen), thoughts racing through your mind like horses stampeding – are all events where events and memories blind you and you can’t think straight. Thus the imagery is a way of painting an abstract collapsing image of trying to make sense of everything rushing around in your head without really seeing any answer or clear direction. At the end of the chorus the line of ‘you’ll probably see that I don’t care’ sums up the entire song of just saying at the end of the day none of it means anything and essentially we are alone.

Lyrics

Is there anybody out there
That I can see, something you need
Well it stampedes, through my skull
Like wild horses, what did they leave
My neighbor said someone
They broke in, stole all your things
And if you cared, to answer
What would that be, could you see

That I, Oh I
I’d probably see

Is there anybody out there
Can you hear it, buzzing through the air
And I was probably mean, but you’ll never see
That I don’t care

We put in for, our vacations
Like Halloween, and thanksgiving
Now the snowflakes, they drop
Upon the street, we woke up in scenes
