For me this song simply describes the natural flow of our ordinary lifes, making use of a scientific language, using chemical terms, playing with it to give the song the raw feel of our fate and our condition. I don't think there's anything related to any war, or any political view, and i dont see how i would think it has to do with any of these things. When he talks about oxidation, i think he's making a reference to the chemical process of aging. I'd say it's about our audacious attempt to change something we don't quite understand, even if we are in fact just living our lifes during the process. there are astonishing reactions happening every second, that will lead to the complexity you can testify and make the everyday world. When he talks about fiction, i think he's talking about how much we fantasize over the universe, how much we abstract over the little bit we know about things (creating religion, societies, moral, behavior, culture, etc)
