Ok, I just watched a interview-thing I got from a link on his website (here it is if you want to see it but don't want to look for it- vpro.nl/programma/ram/afleveringen/20701254/ The site's in dutch, but the interview is in English- the link to the video is on the right side of the screen, and I think Andrew comes in at around 18:00 minutes in)
The video gives a lot of insight into what he put into this song. He described experiencing a sort of hierarchy and false labeling in school. He talked about the institution and that sort of thing as a sort of recurring theme in his music. I think that definitely is present in this song.
The song really is beautiful. Having this sort of insight as to what it's about makes it a lot more meaningful to me, and also makes me respect the song (and the artist) a lot more.
"He described experiencing a sort of hierarchy and false labeling" Absolutely a theme throughout everything he's ever done. Language fails. But then what? He's fantastic and clever and, I think, has a kind spirit about these questions.
