"They have tampered with the locks
And your things they rearranged
'We propose a better way.'
Said the note they left behind"
the chorus is a fairly true statement of all people, being the sum of many a lie, but the emphasis is that the song sings of people particularly surrounded by lies and little truth to the point at which they have little they can truely be certain of. I like the point they make that people are who they are until they die or until they break under pressure. Everyone breaks down under torture it's just a matter of time and pain.
one of the more interesting themes of the song is the distrust of one of the people that accompany the main singer. He distrusts someone (the second person understood) because the look in their eyes but truly he's heard too many lies to really believe that they're really a liar despite the look in that person's eyes. run through a world of lies there's little to believe, so despite the belief that they aren't who they say they are they remain with the main singer despite the many times he tells the second person understood that he doesn't believe them.
This song begins with a 1984 feel:
