Keith Buckley’s explanation on the website of musicfeeds.com.au (June 27th, 2014):

“This song is about a sinkhole that opened up in Florida and consumed a bunch of houses and killed a bunch of people. The idea that the earth you walk on and have no problem putting all your faith into might STILL collapse was pretty amazing to me. You’re just going about your business and then the planet snuffs you out like you’re an ant under its boot.

Of course, then I began thinking about destiny and wondering what choices those people made to put them in those houses at that particular place on earth at that very moment. Maybe it wasn’t “bad luck”. Maybe a higher intelligence was at work. Maybe that was a level of hell we all saw operating on the news that day."
