I found a link on Youtube where we are gifted with Cohen actually explaining, in some detail, the meaning of this song. That makes it impossible to refute - still I was quite surprised by his explanation. Here's the link if you want to hear him:

I completely forgot to mention what the explanation of the song is! Although you'll want to hear Cohen saying it - his explanation is, of course, a kind of poetry. Anyway, the song is about new souls being born and feeling isolated and separate and how God pulls them in to this world and into the feast of life. His description of the world is pretty telling of his take on it all, actually. How does that grabya?! Certainly not what I was expecting or would have guessed.
