I concur with ReActor that "homeless trees" should be "hopeless strays", though it could also be "homeless strays". The lyric reminds me of a character in the book La Peste (The Plague) by Albert Camus. This man throws bits of paper outside his window to attract stray cats (homeless or hopeless strays) then spits at them when they get near.
I don't have a clue as to what this song means, and perhaps it's simply cryptic to be cryptic, but it's an amazing song. It's not often that you hear an electronic song with movements. On the live CD, which I wholly recommend, there is a wonderful contrast in the vocal, which is robot-like in the first half, but then turns to "human" at "there is a sound on the other side of this wall", to great effect.
