I'm gonna have to disagree with you, last-dodo, though you did inspire my guess. I think it's about how we are treated as objects by the system, how we are tricked into acting like machines. Of course, this is the view of one who has figured out just how much his emotions have been puppetted by the media (example: Uncle Sam tried to inject hate for Iraq into our minds before the war, never thinking how much that lie could hurt when it came out). I think this agrees more with the anti-government, anti-mass media message of Arch Enemy.
