Well, the verses of this song are AR at his abstract best, which is why it's one of my fav songs. However I got most of my meaning from the spoken bits.
I interpreted it to be about how overly-critical people can take the fun out of doing something by insisting you do it their way; perfectly; to the letter. Or, more broadly; how dreams can suffocate under the weight of the details when maybe they should just be left to go with the flow.
So I guess I agree with J.J's meaning but from a different angle...
