Instrumentally a fast and dark song, lyrically a powerful statement.
I think the world = the big bureaucratic corporation. With this song they are joining in line with bands/people like Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Bob dylan, Bjork and so on, fighting for a better world. "Set it on fire" sounds like a call for revolution, like V in V for Vendetta blows up the parlement with fireworks, waking up the people bound. Ofcourse the link to christianity is obvious since Paul Meany grew up as a christian.... but the lyrics sound more like a song out of the 60's. Perhaps an outlet for all the frustration Mute Math had to take in the whole process.
