A nomenclature (system of labels/names) is washing away. By categorizing and naming the things we see in nature, we are diluting the actual beauty of it and restricting our perception with the language we use (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapir—Whorf_hypothesis).
"Now the colors have bled to grey, To ones that don't exist in nature". Perhaps we are getting carried away with naming things. Perhaps we are "washing away" the beauty of things when we create a nomenclature other than the one nature gives us.
I think one facet of it goes something like...Is Andrew Bird's music "indie pop?" Or is it "chamber pop?" Isn't he the whistling guy who sings folk music? Is he a hot jazz revivalist? Because if I know how to categorize music, I can decide whether or not I like it without actually listening to it...
