This song is fan-FREAKIN'-tastic.
The sense of the utter futility in life is so pervasive in this song. You can see the change in Numans' approach from his earlier works in which technology seemed the dominate force in his alienation and more towards human emotion, and eventually his abandonment of religion.
I love his use of images (film, pictures, etc) throughout his songs., and how he makes constant referrence to them breaking down, or fading.
