I love this song. Generally speaking yes it is absolutely about materialism and worldly view and not the spiritual or holy perspective. I like going line by line here. Climbing into fire, her hands are forceful: I think this is a direct reference to the forceful temptations of sin. He writes "her" hands are forceful, perhaps this is a sexual reference. We're burying earth in earth: everything is dust. No matter what label we put on it, it will return to dust. We put nothingness on top of nothingness and praise that. Going off the previous comments. Evny and greed are 2 of the 7 deadly. This song is about sinning and the last party is about where sinners will finish their journey. White hands, soft hands - carefully: I think white references purity and soft means hands that have not labored or worked. This may foresee the farmer's fate after he expects his crop to produce when it doesn't. Much like people expect the world when they haven't worked.
