This song discusses the negativities of capitalism, about the downside of the American Dream. In this case, you are a slave to the corporate world. All you do is wake up everyday, go to your job, and become a servant for the large corporations that rule the world, especially in America. In America, we have a false sense of freedom, but we are not free. These companies and government agencies have the ability to watch over us all the time (Satellites and mirrors), and what Zach is trying to say is that all we do is wake up every morning, work and serve, but don't think about all the greed and corruption that is taking place at the macroscopic level with these large corporations. And once these corporations use you and then decide to leave (like outsourcing jobs to other countries or laying off tons of workers I. E. Citibank and the mortgage crisis), then you realize that in the end, your friendship was a fog, that disappears when the wind redirects, and you and your "naive" profession just got crushed.
