Several years after first hearing this song, I now think it is about the current state of relationships between males and females, particularly in the western world.
For example:
'When we talk we talk to you'
'When we walk we walk to you'
I think that is referring to the situation in which it is usually the case that the toddler first walks towards the mother and also firstly talks to the mother because the mother is the person who spends the most time with the child.
'Give my children sunny smiles' Is perhaps another indication that the writer is asking the mother to bring up happy children.
'From factory to field nothing is moving'
I think this is a reference as to how society is stagnating in the west due to internal personal politics.
If these things do not happen then the writer is suggesting that he may;
'Stop loving you'
'Stop wanting you'
'Stop liking you'.
All the lyrics of this song add up to a comment about the relationships between men and women in the 21st century.
Feminism has constantly placed mens' attitudes under scrutiny but what hasn't happened is that women's behaviour and attitudes towards men have not been placed under any scrutiny whatsoever.
I think that currently womens' behaviour is being placed under great scrutiny because men have had enough of being vilified by the feminist movement and the illiberal 'liberal' left.
I think the writer's intent is a warning.
It is a warning of how men will change their attitude towards women if women do not do something about their own attitudes and behaviour towards men.
The narcissism and sense of entitlement that many women carry has been increased and enhanced by the feminist and illiberal liberal leftist movement which seeks to destroy western society from within.
I think we are now seeing the result of societal breakdown caused by these movements which is what I think the writer means by
'Please don't tear this world asunder'
'All is pain and all is sorrow'.
It's a very serious observation which is typical of some of the writer' a darkest lyrics but he has cleverly juxtaposed that with a rather trite musical accompaniment.
The accompaniment is light both in texture, melody and rhythm.
It's musical humour.
The humour of a light musical texture supporting a very dark lyric.
