I cannot and will not determine what this song means to you. I will, however, say what I think to what it alludes.
Mankind is aware of its fragility relative to the animal kingdom. We outwit our competition and are able to create many clones who want the same. Our expansion led us across the ocean to rinse and repeat creating a spread of imbalanced existence. We as humans imbalance the natural state and thusly remove ourselves from competition. We die from our own arrogance (pun intended) |

I think this song speaks to the belief that more is better. Our ancestors have travelled far and wide in order to discover what was available to plunder. That mentality is still totally pervasive to this day, in that people consistently strive to take more, have more, get more, be more, see more, do more, etc. Regardless of what negative effect this has on us.

It is about people telling us what we want and us falling for it, being consumers of things we do not need. It seems that people are always striving for more, not always knowing why; just because they want to be comparable to others. We are greedy, and some day soon, that greed will swallow us whole.

This is stating how we are bred simply to consume, and our modern lives are now defined by our property. The lyrics are saying that this destroys our ability to think and function as anything other than a consumer in a business market that our lives have become.
