We humans demand structure and control, and try to force everything into some systematic hierarchy so we can "understand" it. Gord is saying that, for the most part, we can't change and live in the moment and sit for 4 minutes and listen to the ambient noises and be happy with that. We are almost incapable of letting anything, a song in this case, simply be what it is without trying to force our will on it in some way. This entire website exists solely for people to paste their experiences and meanings on pieces of art, to make it their own in some way. The opposite of simply waking to your life.
