I think that section ties in great with the lyrics to the song for the next part.
Am I an honest man and true?
Have I been good to you at all?
Oh I'm so tired of playing these games
We'd just be running down
The same old lines, the same old stories of
Breathless trains and, worn down glories
Houses burning, worlds that turn on their own
It just has that sort of wasteland feel to it in the last lines.
