Budgie is one of the greatest rock/metal bands of all time. The consistency of their classic material is nearly unsurpassed and they have more awesome songs than one can count. Their complete lack of recognition is a travesty, pretty much. It's true that Metallica butchered most of the songs they covered...Mercyful Fate, Diamond Head, and Budgie. Their Breadfan sucks compared to the original.
I think this song is about social inability and a rocky love relationship, things going wrong, being compared with brain surgery. So basically his feelings are like having his brain knifed up...pretty gritty metaphors in this one.
'The art of finding words to conquer life' - is something he wishes he possessed, because without this art he is under the 'knife'.
