The song seems like nonsense, but only to people who aren't good at using google. The words that are "nonsense words" are actually in Turkish. So, berzah is a long narrow strip of land, which makes sense to speed toward. Anyway, the song is basically about how we use culture to try to mask that we're animals, in my opinion. For example, day light savings makes no sense, but it doesn't fool the mirror (our mortality) because we're just animals who are going to die eventually. The second verse is about basically the same thing. "Stupefied that our bad side's in decay" is acknowledging that, while it may be a bummer that we're mortal, at least our bad side dies, too. This is only my opinion, but the previous comment pissed me off and I love this song, so I had to say something.
