What is After the Gold Rush about?

🎶 After the Gold Rush song analysis

The lyrics describe a dream the protagonist had where there were knights, singing peasants, and archers. The dream shifts to her lying in a burnt-out building and hoping for something better. Then, the dream changes again to spaceships flying towards a new home in the sun while children cry and colors fly. All in all, the song seems to be about the chaos of the 20th century and the hope for a better future.
