I thought it was about God? Or rather, "you" sounds like god, and "it" sounds like human soul, and its about how those two things relate and and are distanced from one another. The last lines were particularly telling.

how did it ever
find out about you
over the sound
of itself
with nothing but its own
ignorance to go by

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
