This is a remarkable song.
I think it has to do with theology and cold, distanced philosophy
("here in the conscious world, we place our theories down")
taking away somewhat from the actual living of life
How politics, greed, religion, philosophy, even minor theological disagreements start wars
and no matter how great your god is "the power in his hand" he is still cold and distant and unforgiving "can never touch a friend"
The whole thing is like this--plotting and planning and philosophizing taking away all the humanity from life itself.
Very insightful.
