The expression that all living beings have the same basic drives.
So I think I can see your point, but in this case I get more out of the more emotionally driven use of the word "pure" as it relates to human development specifically.

I would agree seeing how chemicals are innocent, therefore, unconscious. The more humans become conscious the more they become corrupt (ex: Right in Two). The reason why I feel pure means the chemical molecules that created us is because of the end of the song.
"Leave as we come in
Pure as light, return to one
Move by will alone"
as you can see we came in and leave as LIGHT which is a basic properity of these chemicals.
