Here is the correct meaning to the song as stated by Akerfeldt himself in an interview with a Swedesh rock magazine:
He wrote the song based on all lowlife and criminals and slimebags he's seen in Stockholm, and how angry he is that this has taken a hold in the world in general. The lyrics are pure human-contempt he also says..
To me it seems as though Akerfeldt is looking at all the evil done by people in this world and shouting, "Isn't the Creator responsible for what he has created?"
I also see Akerfeldt's indictment of God more as a poetic device than an actual complaint against a deity he believes to exist: "This failure (man himself with all this shortcomings) has made the Creator rather than the Creator making Man.
An excellent musical composition.
