"is no longer instinctual but rather an emotion we use
When ripped of understanding of higher
human ancestors killed each other when we could have loved each other"
should be:
"is no longer instinctual but rather an emotion we use
to enrich our understanding of why our
human ancestors killed each other when they could have loved each other"
which is my favorite line off the whole album. this song is so powerful, the meaning is pretty obvious, it's about how all evil acts mankind has committed can be traced back to primal instincts like fear, fight-or-flight response ("There's no judge or jury when your looking adrenaline in the face"), and territorial defense. Eyedea longs for a future where humans are in control of their instincts instead of the other way around.
