Great song about the confusion and awareness of existence. Being ahead of animals, knowing more truths, being let down by life- sleeping (i.e. not full awareness) through life, and a recognition that God can't create any internal emotion (i.e. unaffected by spirituality).
The second verse (the only thing penned by Oldham I believe) extends this confusion with a resolution to live in the moment (parallels the ideology of "I'm Loving the Street" somewhat) and Oldham leaves it wide open for interpretation with "I'll be around when you are"

The chorus isn't exactly hopeful either.
