This is such a brilliant song. The band have previously discussed how this album is a bit of a commentary about society and politics of Britain but I think it can be interpreted in so many ways. “You are contractually tied to death’s door” is such a brilliant lyrics - possibly one of my favourite lines ever written. I take this to mean the grind of daily life, you put most of your life into work and people still demand more. Whatever you do is “not enough”. When the time comes to reflect back, everything you ever knew was just that and you never enjoyed things for yourself.
