This is a lyric that only Edward could have written. Nobody else would write something like this :-) A story of a guy who plays a computer/video game, becomes so immersed in the game that he forgets to live, ignores everybody and everything and just keeps on destroying those electronic aliens, but they still keep on appearing and eventually he loses the game and actually loses his life – he dies of exhaustion. It’s scary and funny at the same time, like many Edward’s lyrics. And the bleeping electronic sounds imitate the music of early video games as closely as possible. Really nice...
