Before their new record label completely revamped Sixpence’s official website, Matt Slocum explained the first three songs on this album are a trilogy. Despite whatever double spiritual meaning these lyrics may have, We Have Forgotten is about groping for one’s dreams and them seeing them crash when everything in life distracts you from your real goal. In this case, the money and excitement of being in a band distracted Sixpence from their simple dream of creating good art. The line about starting to like this town is an expression of this complacency. Anything describes trying to create art despite the powers at be simply exploiting the subject for money. The metaphor of giving birth is used here. Not to mention them using his talents to be forged into just another Jesus band. In Waiting Room of the World the subject calls out to the same baby, born in artistic haste to please the puppet masters, and ask when it’s true form will appear.
In other words, this trilogy, together with other songs on this album, is about how the CCM industry screwed them over. I would cite my sources as proof, but like I said, their old website is gone.

That seems very believable, as if you listen to the first three tracks on "Sixpence None the Richer" the flow into each other.
