Cover art for Engineers lyrics by Gary Numan

I think I'll go through this one line by line:

All that we are is all that we need to be = they are grown up, "superior" All that we know is you and machinery = all their life is kid[s] and work We’re engineers = they're parents, creators We are your heartbeat = they take care of you, keep you alive so to speak We are your night life = they control what you do, eg. going out at night, keeping you home We are your `low-line’ = ? We keep you alive for now = this could be a threat, as if to say "we can get rid of you whenever" We are your voice = kids tend to have similar opinions about the world as their parents We are your blood flow = blood relation? We are your eyes = they can protect you from the world, or something similar to "voice" We’re all you need to know = like above All that we are is all that you’d love to be = kids wanting to be like parents, respecting them All that we know is hate and machinery = not sure about this one. Any ideas?
