If you are looking at the ))))) you are looking at the wrong place. It's like placing your attention on the } } } } in C. Look at the opening parenthesis instead, and more importantly the indentation.

The benefit of S-expressions (lisp syntax) is that they make it easy to work with "code as data" instead of "code as text". This in turn makes it easy enough to generate code and define new forms of expression that people can actually do it without blowing the complexity budget.
