This is one of their greatest songs. It seems to be somewhat 1984 with a twist of Kafka's The Trial. The most striking thing about this song is how well the music personifies the creepy feeling of being watched by what is essentially automata. As general theme Bauhaus appears to explore the madness of civilization. It seems to be connected to songs like "The Silent Hedges". I feel like I've been this person being watched by a mindless entity that still has authority over me. As well I've always felt a subtle reference to God... But a terrible mindless God. Still one of the top 10.
