because in Brave New World there are no memory machines, I actually think that it isn't about the book. The song doesn't describe any of the events or characters in the book, but just mentions Aldrous Huxley's name. But it does share many common themes with the book.
The point being of course, idealists who think taking away the pain would be a great idea.
But then again there are part of the song in which he says people focus to much on pain. This could either be the built in satire of the song, or something he really feels.
But what really this song is, is dark satire. Singing from the point of veiw from someone who wants to not feel pain. This is truely shown at the end of the song
"The wails of ruined lives brought to a halt
By the serene hum of computers in air-conditioned vaults "
