I do not
Understand
What it is
I've done wrong
Full of holes
Check for pulse
Blink your eyes
One for yes
Two for no
I have no idea what I am talking about
I'm trapped in this body and can't get out
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
You killed the sound
Removed backbone
Pale imitation
With the edges all
Sawn off
I have no idea what you are talking about
Your mouth moves only with someone's hand up your arse
Oh, oh
Has the light gone out for you?
Because the light's gone for me
It is the 21st century
It is the 21st century
It can follow you like a dog
It brought me to my knees
They got a skin and they put me in
They got a skin and they put me in
All the lines wrapped around my face
All the lines wrapped around my face
And for anyone else to see
And for anyone else to see
I'm alive
I've seen it coming
I've seen it coming
I've seen it coming
I've seen it coming
Understand
What it is
I've done wrong
Full of holes
Check for pulse
Blink your eyes
One for yes
Two for no
I have no idea what I am talking about
I'm trapped in this body and can't get out
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
You killed the sound
Removed backbone
Pale imitation
With the edges all
Sawn off
I have no idea what you are talking about
Your mouth moves only with someone's hand up your arse
Oh, oh
Has the light gone out for you?
Because the light's gone for me
It is the 21st century
It is the 21st century
It can follow you like a dog
It brought me to my knees
They got a skin and they put me in
They got a skin and they put me in
All the lines wrapped around my face
All the lines wrapped around my face
And for anyone else to see
And for anyone else to see
I'm alive
I've seen it coming
I've seen it coming
I've seen it coming
I've seen it coming

I don't honestly feel like this needs to be a reference to anything. Obviously this is about total insanity, seeing as the whole song is pretty much total insanity. Insane people think insane thoughts. Hence the wired science fictiony lyrics. He's just searching for a reason for his terror and craziness even when there might be nothing going on.
When the song cools down part way through the lyrics get saner and actually make some sense. They talk about the devastation and confusion the... whoever this is written about... feels. The rest of the song is basically the equivalent of being trapped in a burning room. So the song is written about how the future has caused a person to go crazy and try to fight off his own body... something like that anyway.
