There seem to be errors in these lyrics that have been posted. ...Somewhat large errors that drastically change the meaning of this song.
The following changes should be made:
"when they're metal, in their metal machines"
Should be
"We're the metal, in their metal machines"
"when they're metal, and they're trying an excuse"
Should be
"We're the metal
In their droning schemes"
"it's all our mental, to all the once stiff wings"
Should be
"It's elemental
To all the rust it brings"
This is what azlyrics.com listed the lyrics as, I'd say consult a booklet from Machina/the machines of God to get them 100% straight. I only have the LP version of Machina, so rather than havign the lyrics listed I have a bunch of pages with paintings on them, plus an excerpt from a song (Glass and the Ghost Children).
I always thought the lyrics I posted just now were the right ones, if they aren't then I am sorry for wasting my life and your time, but if they are right they lead me to think that this song is about how everyone is just a pawn, a sheep in a much larger plot.
