So much beauty that's went untouched. This is pure genius.
Alan Duffy, whoever he is, wrote these lyrics. I honestly love his lyrics for early porcupine tree and think they are some of the bands greatest lyrics ever. I wish I could learn more about what happened to him and his role in the band, because I'm really interested in their past history more so than their current work.
To me these lyrics are just about the amazing things humans can do in contrast to simpler life forms. It is also about taking LSD (hence the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds reference) and the visions it produces. "You can see so much more than I," says the caterpillar because he does not have a brain and lacks the intelligence we possess. It is illustrating the power of our minds and the beauty we can create.
This song makes mentions towards a higher power and also evolution. If every small creature wishes to evolve upon seeing something greater than itself, it means that there has always been something bigger for the cycle to have started.

Limitless interpretations, great song.
