Great song off the new album. As usual for the NPs, the lyrics can be pretty ambiguous. He mentions "numbers" throughout the whole song, which could be referring to the sort of meaningless statistics we're bombarded with from various sources.
I think he's saying that people use numbers to "prove" things and convince people even though they don't really mean anything ("always the numbers but never the name").
Regardless, great, catchy song. Ranks up there with their best :-)
