That he's almost a human being; The crying in "If I were a big boy I wouldn't cry / but since I'm not a big boy I'll have to cry(/close my eyes and picture what it's like)" represents the lack of whole Godhood ('not a big boy') but he's as the album states /Almost Human/. Not of man, not fully god... "Don't touch me, no I couldn't bear the thought of it now."
