I believe it's about inner fear of the unknown that mankind is so gripped by, that we need to rationalize with unknown in order to come to grips with it.
At the same time it's put into second and third person terms it seems like we're being studied, by perhaps another species or a "god" or "gods" depending on your faith.
But it also strikes me as a monologue of someone who is gripped by that fear of the unknown, not necessarily spilling his inner thoughts but letting the fear grip him and question things and further tear him/her apart.
