It depends on how deep you think Alphabeat can be.
I think it's a song about propaganda, about how law enforcement is always presented as being heroic instead of suppressive. The song reminds me of Thunderbirds, this underground secretive law enforcement agency with secret headquarters who rush in to 'save the day'. Obviously the concept of salvation is deeply rooted in personal morality. I know that the band are from Denmark, and this as well as prosody contributes towards the inclusion of German lyrics, but it also i think potentially stands as a bleak reminder of other secretive law enforcement agencies. The Gestapo and Stasi come to mind, two staatspolizei agencies.
I could be reading into this a little too much.
