i feel like it is similar, but almost, opposite of what MaskOfSanity has mentioned.
it seems to me to be about an awakening in thought. he is noticing how everyone is pointing at someone else. he notes how the west and east are pointing at each other saying the other is wrong.
he is saying now he 'knows',(like in a lot of james songs,) he can see the answer to their problems, as an outsiders perspective may be clearer. i believe the whole point of the song lays in the second chorus, when he says:
"I opened up into this mystery
Every key can lock you up
Or set you free
I believe that
there is magic in this mystery"
it seems to scream, "balance." (i.m.o.o.) but i love the song whatever the song meaning may be.
long live James.
