No it really is about labrats, and how scientists can control the rats behaviour and stimulate the love/ sex/ pleasure part of the brain with electronic pulses, forcing them to do things that is completely unnatural for rats to do yet the feeling they get for doing it is so great that they love it.
"I get high on a buzz
Then a rush when I'm plugged in you
I connect
When I'm flush
You get love when told what to do"
"When you send me a pulse
Feel a wave of new love
Through me
I'm dressed in white noise
You know just what I want
So please"
Not much explanation needed for these lines. The song isn't purely about rats though, the rats and the machine are just metaphors for lust, sex, power and the dominating thrill these things can provide.
