As for the meaning, I think the greatest songs take on their own interpretation for each individual listener.
I was reading 1 Samuel about 2 weeks ago and really struggling with faith. I spoke with a friend and came to the conclusion that my view of God was so limited and really hindering my relationship with Him. I decided that night to begin in Genesis and keep a journal referencing every place that describes who God is.
This song couldn't fit more perfectly into my journey. I have literally asked myself time after time while reading "What do I know?" I think sometimes our own arrogance causes us to assume God fits in our box. He doesn't.
Francis Chan points in "Crazy Love" that we question God in our arrogance asking things like "Why would you let people in the world starve? Why don't you feed them?" God has more of a right to ask us why they're starving. He's God. He is all-powerful, always-in-control, merciful and loving, but also to be feared. He has no doubts of who he is. I think this song really confronts how wrong we get it sometimes.

But that's just me.
