I can sort of see both the themes of "synths taking over" and "censorship" as concepts to base this song on... but what about the first verse? "Electric guitar is run over by a car on the highway. The meaning of life is to tune this electric guitar."

I wouldn't get too 'intellectually moebius' about the fitting of the words and context here. I think Byrne liked to throw Dada into his writing (like WB Burroughs) with little thought to the public interpretation. He was/is a brilliant lyricist and we should all be thankful for that grace alone, don't you
