This song is the perfect critique of human existence in general. Humans try to put everything into boxes; God, groups of people, individual people, art, etc, etc. It's too bad more people don't realize that our artificial boxes are meaningless and nothing really ever fits into them. I think that is why there are so many problems in this world. Attempting to fit chaos into a neat little box is impossible no matter how hard we try.

@luda1421... obviously they are houses at the beginning of the song, but it changes throughout. It's a metaphor. The people go to university and get put in boxes. They come out all the same. It means society puts people in boxes. People become cookie cutter versions of each other, all the same. We try to put everything in boxes. It has a deeper meaning than just the houses.
