Electric -- I think it's actually the exact opposite.
Roddy, the lead singer is saying, "Can you tell me how you'd describe the world as a whole?" He's trying to get someone past making generalizations... trying to get them to explore, dig, dig... etc. They're living in their shell and not seeing how beautiful/shitty the outside world can be because they're stuck in their own ignorance.
"It's what you thought you could be if you tried much harder"
It SEEMS so much better that way. Not it "is" so much better that way.
You could be right, I just thought this might help.
