I can't escape the thought of this having a religious undertone either. The "fish" may also refer to Jesus, and the gentlemen pointing their fishes fits my image of religious figureheads who waive their rod of morale.
With this in mind, I see the song as displaying some anthropocentric qualities: the faces of God/Jesus/religion in general is everchanging with time ("the rat race begins") whereas man is constant (the "I will always exist" part)
However, I'd like to see some thoughts on how this relates to the other parts of the The Three Shadows-piece?
