It's about being perfect. Having the perfect family ('Trophy wife'). Fitting in with what society sees as perfect. Being part of, in a sense, that industry. The industry of being perfect.
Long version:
"You plug me in and turn me on.
Turn on me."
You see everywhere, from when you're born what society as a whole in general deems to be acceptable behaviour. They set the guidelines on what's a 'perfect' life. Kind of how Supermodels on magazines convey to women that that's how they should look like.
But, by conforming to being 'perfect' you won't be happy, so in turn socety has turned on you, making you into something you don't want to be... Just to fit in.
"I am your device of manufactured hope.
You plug me in and turn me into wires and blood."
Society made them into what they are, so they 'plugged them in' in a sense. And by conforming you're kind of like a robot (Hence, the 'wires') but you're still a person (Hence, the 'Blood') And by doing that, (Let's say it's to do with a couple here, as in the husband wanted the perfect wife)In the wifes point of view, she's a device of manufactured hope for the husband, he's turned her into the 'perfect' wife to go along with his hope of a 'perfect' life.
"I am your trophy wife shaking hands with your guests.
Hi my name is "yours"."
There again, this line tells that the husband sees her as an object, rather than a person, something to show off to people. Rather than something to love. Her role, in this sense is to be perfect.
“The unfortunate ones will be spared.
We are the industry. “
People think it’s good to be ‘perfect’ in the industry of the sense of being perfect. The ones that don’t fit in with wha t people see as being perfect will be ‘spared’ from that fate, which people don’t want. Because they all want other people to see them as good people, they all want people to want to know them.
“I'm sorry but your name is not on the list.
Your results do not comply.”
The results (Traits, how they are, what they do) don’t comply with what people see as being perfect.
“Your ashes will fuel the machine.
We are the industry.”
When they die, nothing will change, society will go on.
“We are the birth and the death. “
The guidelines of what society deems to be acceptable are there from when you’re born ‘til when you die. And before and beyond.
Well, there you go. I think it’s about a couple, and like yeah wanting to be perfect.
This is what I thought when I first heard it.
