lso haven't been able to get this song out of my head for days now. And very glad to hear others say that it's probably not a preachy "save the environment" lecture. I've got nothing AGAINST those lectures in the US Congress, where they belong, but that would completely ruin a beautiful song like this one. Cryptic lyrics about escapism and spirituality, on the other hand, are terrific fit for the ethereal and haunting music.
I think that this whole Modern Guilt album is more or less, save the environment, become less selfish. Yes, the lyrics are cryptic, but you can draw a meaning.

Beck is speaking about the "sins" of humans. Not sins that have to do with Jesus Christ, but personal sins. Beck talks about how we're all drowning. Everyone is falling into the trap of shallowness. We are drowning in our own fakeness, when there is a bigger issue going on here. Beck is reminding himself in this song how small humans are, and how we can't forget that.

Beck...
Beck is obviously guilty about something here. And it all fits, humans are fucking up the environment & the Earth.
