Needles in the Camel's Eye

Eno can say whatever he wants about his lyrics, this one seems pretty coherent: "Those who know" are like gods or creators (omniscient). They "hide" the purpose or the meaning of life and yet they throw you into life and expect you to put the pieces together and sort it out. So the biblical camel will not only have a hard time to get through the needle, he's actually being ****ed over by the powers that be. So nevermind solving the mysteries of the universe, do something else, dont "ask why", don't obey those capricious gods. The punk-ish / in-your-face / mocking tune goes along with this sort of easy atheism. It also fits in with Eno's taste for post-modernism and rejection of "big truths" (check out his published diary A Year... on that matter) I personnaly think this kind of philosophy is too simplistic, yet it's a great song with a clear message. Any thoughts? cheers
