to be ignorant.
"Daylight" and the whole album does it's purpose. I love it.
If you like intelligent lyrics like this song's, here are few examples from my favorites u should try: Black Star - Thieves in the Night, Lupe Fiasco - Put You on Game, Mos Def - Life in Marvelous Times, Gang Starr - Moment of Truth, Nas - Sly Fox

Hip hop is an art form and art is about creativity. Isn't creativity about 'person creating something new' anyway? So, comparing Aesop Rock to some other rappers out there isn't fair. I listen to all kinds of hip hop from mainstream to undergroung, from poetry to bullshit. They all have something different to offer...
The keyword here is different. My favorite hip hop artists involve such names as Mos Def, Talib Kweli (especially together for Black Star), Common, Lupe Fiasco and even Kid Cudi. They all have their style, their own message and their way to bring up the message. What I like about Aesop Rock though is that he brings up his message on a different way: he lets you figure it out urself; instead of just simple straightforward lyrics he lets your imagination do the work through the beat, tone of his voice and absurd sentences that might not make sense at first. I'm a guy from Europe and I can still relate to this song and the album on my own way... That is the beauty of Aesop Rock!
The lyrics definitely have a meaning but with all the metaphors/references from popular culture, movies, books, tales (-->general knowledge).. it's pretty much impossible for anyone but Aesop Rock himself to understand them fully. You are supposed to pick up these little pieces that you do understand and create your own picture of the message --> create a bigger picture.
"All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way."
The goal of his lyrics seems to be to wake us up. We need to see the bigger picture in order to understand that a lot things in this world are messed up and we don't even notice coz we don't use our own brain coz that is how the system (through propaganda) has trained us -> to be ignorant.

If your don't take the time to analyze his lyrics, you can't form any real logical opinions.
If you like intelligent hip/hop, but need your substance in preached life lessons, or you don't want to need to think to get the message that list of artist you two have collected sounds good.

Sometimes Aesop Rock gets real, and has incredibly deep meanings but if you won't listen you wont get it; Like this song... or sometimes he tells a story.

Bucket-seater theater sucks, I duck and weave
Riddle of the pixelated ticker taking prisoners and a number...
Bucket-seater theater sucks, I duck and weave
Riddle of the pixelated ticker taking prisoners and a number please
Name and occupation: Aes, I twidddle thumbs with underlings
Orange eyes, head shrunk, age: a million, sex: drugs
Barrel in escorted by a chorus line of bedbugs
Low-tech dreck from his neck of the cement woods
We come in pieces under siege and unwilling
Kicking and screaming, creatures summoned to the feet of the city
As the parking ticketed guilty, beetlejuice in the waiting room
Ogling this bird who put the Double D in 'Day of Doom'
Personal space invader dais, pay-to-play-to-lose
And you can see a sitting duck grow up into a baying wolf
Live
Teller Number 7 looking weathered
Like a decade in a glass box yelling shook her feathers
Utter "Unto thee I surrender mine flesh!"
She said "Put the yellow sticker on your fender - Next!"
He's describing going to pay a traffic ticket... (new album BTW) It's obvious, and but the way he describes it is like non other.
