Scanner Lyrics

Cover art for Scanner lyrics by Gary Numan

A song to his loved ones, I think, his children especially. He is telling them that there is no limit to what he would do or give of himself for them. He will always be there to guide them, help them and keep them safe -- even after death.

I love the chorus. It seldom you see the expression of love coupled with the admission that it hurts sometimes to love and be committed to others at that level. Truly loving your family so much it pains you so see or imagine them suffering or lost.
