OK... I don't know much about the background in this song, but here's my thoughts.

Metronome Arthritis is about a few things.

one thing i want to point out is that it could talk about humans and conformity and the workforce, and whatnot. I mean like Lyrics like

"quick to the throat in this ink cartridge funeral"

That reminds me of something like a Printer on a computer that a big business would use.

"you got a run on your pharmaceuticals you better change it before the night grows old" Means we can't afford to be sick, we need our Jobs.

my favorite lines are:

"You cut your fingernails wy too short" To me it means we're way too Classy. we are animals, and basically we try too hard to seperate ourselves. our jobs require clean faces, short nails, and we have learned to accept that. but to me we don't need to be perfect.

meh, my thoughts on some points of this song.
