To me the song is about the futility of trying to win the "social double bind game" by effort. As Paramahansa Yogananda said in Autobiography of a Yogi----Maya (ignorance) can never be destroyed through intellectual conviction or analysis. That said; the song kicks butt musically. The vocals are emotionally intense and it has a cool guitar passage. A perfect song--as good as anything by Joy Division or New Order
