There's a new wave coming and it’s coming from somewhere, but we’re not sure. There’s a new wave coming. Maybe, it’s coming from the north and it’s making it’s way down. Maybe, it’s coming from the south and it’s making it’s way up to the United States of America. Maybe, it’s coming from across the ocean and maybe it keeps circling around us. There’s a new wave coming and it’s made of something. However, we are not sure of what. In fact, it may not be made of something yet. Maybe it’s water? Maybe it’s culture? Maybe it’s dust? It’s dust. And maybe it keeps circling around us.
Jeff Tweedy says lyrics "settle on a melody like dust on furniture." Which seems appropriate here, natch. Maybe the dust is Philip Pullman-style dust...
Also, "wave" can refer to the 1981 made-for-tv movie ("The Wave") about high school kids becoming brainwashed by Nazi-ism. Maybe being easily susceptible to brainwashing is something you should think about more?

Also, "wave" refers to Wavey Gravey the person and Wavey Gravey the ice cream, both of which indoctrinated and brainwashed me.
