I actually agree with InfidelityWeTrust in some way. I can see how you got this from listening to this song.
To me, personally, the song meaning is that we, as humans are similar to insects.
For example: In the first verse of the song she says "wait till all bones protrude", when insects grow their bones change, grow push out.
In that same verse she continues to say "now we molt past our skin" we are growing into a new skin like a Caterpillar grows into a Butterfly.
The second verse she says "The final Chrysalis" A chrysalis is a cocoon, we are evolving.
In the chorus she repeats "You must work in symmetry. You must earn their empathy" - Human life isnt that different from Ants, There are different species living on one planet, they work together but fight other colonies (Just like the war working together as people fighting another colony.)
In the second verse again we hear this:
"the final chrysalis
self-controlled consciousness
now it feels omminent
done for your benefit
eat right out of their hand
its concaved all your glands
we're encouraged to forget
preference to be forcefed"
when I read this I interpret,
"In the final stage,
when we believe we control our own brains..
It feels fantastic, perfect,
done for you benefit,
You follow everything I tell you to do,
and you think its good for you,
I encourage you to forget what we have done
and prefer you to do what i say"
this could be said by the "queen" a.k.a the government, like we have been brainwashed into thinking War is good as it will resolved out issues, everything we see in the media is good.
When the chorus is saying.
We are fighting to be repected by everyone, and to be in the 'popular' crowed. Cloning ourselves to be like someone else, we are working in symmetry, trying to earn their empathy.
The only thing that stumps me is the part about cities falling down? Could this be War, literally cities falling down, Or could it mean something more deeper and more emotional.
This is my personal view on what the meaning behind this song is.
Everyone is entitled to their own whether it is about sex, Or a pre-apocalyptic world.
Its up to you.
Just enjoy the song.
