Wow, I guess the way I've been interpreting this when I listen to it is completely different from anything people are saying on here.
I took "machines that feed on vacant eyes" to be television, computers, etc. Technology, basically, and how it keeps us in a "false reality".
So, from there, I figured he was going on about how we're being distracted from our actual lives by our technology, and how there are more and more new renovations, and commercials telling us that we need this and that to be happy, and we keep falling for it.
I mean, there's more to it than that, but coming from that theme, that's what I got from this song. :]
Yeah, I thought the same thing upon my first few listens. Like "dense electric twilit maze" makes me think of the trap these technologies have us in. Maybe true happiness would come from a disconnection from the technology that all but runs our lives and finding peace in nature. But this was just my first interpretation, and what I usually gather from the song.
