I think this is an argument about the nature of human beings. Humans tend to shape things in order to fill holes. They label, the examine, they change. We have removed ourselves from evolution in this way.
Byrne I think is arguing that our need and obsession with doing this is actually doing the opposite. Its making us lose ourself, and making our understanding less complete. The whole album I think is about this to a degree. |

Always saw this song as a statement on corporal punishment. But the thought that Aerial had about it being "jesus-y" is interesting. Especially since Jesus is probably the most famous occurance of corporal punishment in history. |
