didn't linford say the song was about creativity?

actually, i love the song because it doesn't make any sort of specific 
sense.  it's one of my favorite things about otr- the very nebulous, 
emotionally-charged word pictures that their lyrics generate.  the songs 
last so much longer for me that way- they mean different things to me at 
different times, and i feel like i'm constantly seeing the lyrics in a new 
light.

i know that doesn't answer your questions, kylie.

By means of all created things, without exception, the divine assails us, 
penetrates us, and molds us. We imagined it as distant and inaccessible, 
whereas in fact we live steeped in its burning layers.
