I think it's about an alien observer looking at earthlings. If you've never heard of it, look up micromegas on wikipedia. Actually, here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microm%C3%A9gas
I think it's like this alien creature is looking at us, that's Isaac's way of making an observation of humans (and their lives) objectively. There's a lot of interperetations that can be taken from a short song like this, but I think they all have to do with life and how different people might act if they could look at themselves and the way they act from the point of view of an alien, like micromegas.
