I interpret it as reflecting buddhism. The color red is the primordial beginning color, at the lowest end of the spectrum, reflecting instinct, survival and security.
"Came in through an open window through a small mistake." Stumbled upon the path of discovering true reality through making a mistake or fall in today's society.
"Glanced over at your sleeping baby, we can hardly wait." True human nature in all spiritualities is childlike playfulness. Also, many ancient calenderical/time systems (the Mayan Tzolk'in, the Yugas from Hindu Scripture, the Chinese I Ching) mark a revolutionary change in humanity around the year 2012. The child has to be suppressed in order to operate in society right now.
"In the red museum, it's hard to sleep." The structure of fear, security, and power struggle has embeded itself deeply into the country's society, given power by words, the stroke of a pen. These are ancient systems of society that have not evolved at all from times past. And the pervasive fear has one constantly looking over their shoulder.
"We are known for the lack of the words we speak." One of the ancient proverbs "I know what reality is, but when you ask me, I don't." In other words, no words are needed to enjoy life, or live, just music and action.
"Now he is one. Now she is one. Now they are one." Marking those who are waking up to what is going on. Could also be playing off the "all is one" buddhist principle.
"Glass eyes and some wooden teeth, You cannot sit still. These walls have a sense of reach and an iron will." The feelings of anxiety, agitation, and suffocation from all the walls and barriers the structure of society has put on their ability to live freely.
I'm not sure about the ending.
"Red sky" could signify the war-themed control of the nation.
"If you would try to let us" ... show you the beauty we see, the beauty of the way life really is, the beauty that the government is suffocating.
"We cant stop them from coming in." Showing the brute, unstoppable force of the ignorant government.

The whole album seems to carry a similar theme.
