Plz explain this sentence to me. Thanks!!

"It is strange how words shape our thoughts and trap us at the bottom of deeply incised canyons of thinking, their imprisoning sides carved out by the river of past usge."

What does the sentence mean? In my thinking, the sentence is " how words shape our thoughts and trap us at the bottom of deeply incised canyons of thinking is strange; their imprisoning sides carved out by the river of past usge" is it correct?

I feel the sentence is too complex, would any one out there plz explain it to me?

Thank you so much
