Wow, some of you people are really reading way too far into this song, especially the religious interpretations. I wonder how you live your lives trying to force your own beliefs down the throat of every piece of art - especially under the guise of "openmindedness." The only reason Jason and Argonauts are mentioned is because of the "primitive ancestry" (lighthouse), and their death was just showing what would have happened if this little nite lite tried to do the job of its ancestors. This has nothing to do with Greek mythology or pagan gods and goddesses. This song has nothing to do with Jesus. I wouldn't say that they just thew together a bunch of lines, because it takes skill to write a song this catchy with lyrics that coincide so well... Rather, I say TMBG is a very talented band that does not take itself too seriously. And if they want to write a song about a stupid-ass nite lite, then so be it. Just enjoy it as is.

@chlimouj I'm not saying this song is about religion. But one does not need to be a music major to recognize what TMBG is doing musically with the synthesizers and organs--referencing cathedral organ music of the 1700s.
