To me the song is about how modern society is making people souless. If you imagine that a soul is the devine part of us, it's where our love and personally live. The 'Micro Cuts' are the tiny slices things like television and the media make to the link between ourselves and our souls. The 'red hands' are from the doctor making the slices in your brain that disconnects you from your soul - kind of like the experiments in Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' books. Everyone's souls are 'weeping from above' as they have been cut away from us. The 'whimpering love' is because now he has no soul he can't love anyone anymore and it makes the person he should have falling in love with cry because he is dead inside. The 'micro cuts' are barely noticable, just a slight irritation like a fork squeaking on a plate, but over time they result in disconnection from your higher self and becoming a media zombie.
So carry on listening to good music and switch off the television!!
TV is the opiate of the masses and this song is basically Matt screaming out against it and how angry it makes him.
this is sucha good insight... totally makes sense... also its sooo the kinda ting matt would write about..he's all about the dictatorship modern society has upon us and how it affects people...not just the media but also the government and powerful organisations who take over and leave us to be brainwashed...see us as nothing more than a herd of cattle that are oblivious to all of their actions and allow them to tell us what we want and what we feel... this is definetly the kind of thing he would feel strongly about and be angry about... i like it...
