What I find so powerful about this song is how when they say "tripped into the garden of the sun" garden of the sun sounds like a good thing but they make it sound like it is the worst possible thing that could happen. It's a counter-intuitive truism, a place where you are exposed by the power of understanding, which, although is objectively a good thing, there is nothing corrupt people fear more than to be exposed and/or purified by this understanding because they know their remorse will be overwhelming. Which is both a terrifying and amazing proposition..
in other words, they are actually Punished by their own enlightenment.
