It attempts to describe the present state of the relationship between deity and humanity, as being a broken relationship or agreement. It accounts for this idea with imagery that includes all humans in the consequences. In this case it means humans busted it, and now can't fix it.

This begs the question of a deity. And it also begs the question of the validity of your conjecture.

Further, if "humans busted it" then God did not plan an EXACT scenario for humankind. If humans are responsible...God is not.
