But just when he's on the brink, he "wakes up" (the last verse) and reality dawns on him. he feels he's ascending towards heaven and escaping from everything that has ruined his life. maybe its a dream, or his life is turning around, something of that sort. However, he soon somehow feels he's breaking out of that hell. He feels he's trudging through life, and its a living hell for him. In the haunting, graveyard-esque portion that follows, I THINK it singles out one man in this society, a very depressed man for whatever reason. The groovy part right after that reflects modern society, and how its kinda fast-paced, stressful, and there's a lot of sleaze that comes with civilization. The following guitar solo documents the evolution of man, and all his accomplishments AND follies. These two specific cavemen go on to try and cooperate for protection, hunting, shelter, etc. They are the same, or the same species rather - "I am you and what I see is me".
Perhaps by complete coincidence, two of these early humans see each other and recognize themselves. Fast-forward millions of years later to the Cro-Magnon. everything was "green and submarine", peaceful, it was enough, but something drove some of those organisms to seek a new life on land, something drove them to journey into the unknown. The "ping"s in the beginning represent the universe coming into existence, and the first verse refers to the first organisms on Earth. I believe this song is a timeline of some sort.
