Lyric discussion by mwahahaa 

I remember when I first heard this song I was blown away by how profound it was. Now it doesn't have the same effect on me but I still think it does a great job of conveying how we humans have an over-inflated sense of our cosmic importance despite the fact that in many ways we are petty, insignificant and small.

@mwahahaa Spot on :) You could take it a step further and say it's an expression of how absurd the typical over-inflated human ego is and how if you imagined it enclosed in a cage like a pet, it could be quite entertaining to watch like a cat chasing its tail or a dog licking its balls.
