I think this song is sort of about misinterpretation. And how you need to be informed, and "reading in good light" and understanding things. Everything you think and do and the whole world and how it words, things like the sun shining... how can it be explained? Just common sense won't cut it, you have to learn. "Takes a firm background in remembering, and it takes some math, and there's so much more", you have to know what you're talking about before you just start talking. And it's hard to think about things when you don't know enough, but it's hard to learn. So hard to see in bad light...
