Fair point, but I've always blamed Jon for that line. Probably because it's from the same album as the horrendous "remember that you're perfect, God makes no mistakes" line.
For some time, I've had the feeling that Jon wanted to come across intellectual in his songwriting by putting contradicting lines/metaphors next to each other, even though that didn't really work (I remember thinking that either somewhere on the Circle or on WAN).
