The most ominous thing is when Steven says "something doesn't feel right about this". The Cluster is on the verge of awakening, Malachite is dueling Alexandrite.... and yet....

Actually I'm pretty sure I can guess as to that "what we really are" thing means. Gems can take on almost any physical form they choose. Peridot mentioned that they automatically adapt to changes in their environment... within certain limits of course. My guess is that the gem monsters simply got stuck in a form. But also... are the monsters defective? If Gems are created to be weapons, maybe not all of those weapons are the same...
