about

This song is about capitalism.
I was reading a book by the SF writer Charles Stross, where the protagonist through a series of unfortunate events becomes the avatar of the Eater of Souls, an eldritch horror from beyond space and time. The consumption of souls is described as a "psychic yawn" which is where the title comes from. We are eaten and end up in the belly of the beast.
At the same time the mouth is also the mouth of the horn of plenty (the song was at one point called "Cornucopia") so the lyric highlights the tension between the sacrifices we are asked to make as workers and artists and the promise of endless plenty in our other incarnation as consumers.
