According to me the subject of the song is the
title of the album "dear science"
the one that is creating better bombs for our good.
the one that provides us with all those things we should not be able to live without
but that are killing us for sure.
the one that is feeding us with GMOs, stamping a copyright on the living, and
for which life is just another adjustment variable.
the "death professors":
the leaders of the industry
covered by the lies of governments
who sell us happiness in a can
and make us believe that it is progress
Here are some of the definitions I found for DLZ:
DLZ Drop Landing Zone
DLZ Designated Launch Zone (military aviation)
"This is beginning to feel
like the dawn of the luz of forever"
the final light, the Great Atomic End
engineered by the Geniuses of our Time
what is your 65% oxygene 18% carbon 10% hydrogene body
worth as compared to their "big steps for Humanity"?
"Never you mind
Death professor
Your structure's fine
My dust is better
Your victim flies so high
All to catch a bird's eye view of who's next"
English is not my first language so I may be wrong.
This is however how I feel this song.
for the moment at least.
Hope it makes sense.
you are absolutely right. i think it fits the title of the album better than the idea of the corrupt politicians.

its saying that while science has tried to make everything perfect it has failed miserably because it has also created some of the most powerful instruments of destruction which negate all the good that science has done to us.

I am glad somebody actually put this up here. I have actually had a fairly lengthy discussion about this song and our first thought was about how it connects to the title "Dear Science." It's about how science has just kept fucking things up and how we need to get back to living our lives:
Your [science's] structure's fine, My dust [nature] is better.

For not speaking English as a first language you sure did hit the nail right on the head.

Oh and btw I was trying to sound above anyone else, I had the discussion about the song with a girl who has probably read a thousand books and a brilliant English major. I'm the science major :)
I kind of have the same interpretation, with the "death professor" being Oppenheimer and all the other scientists that helped to develop the atomic bomb. That lyric seems to be a dead giveaway, actually.

Completely agree, I think this song can basically be taken as the 'title track' of the 'Dear Science' album. I'm sure someone else here mentioned it, but the title of the album comes from Dave Sitek's studio note "Dear Science, please start solving problems and curing diseases or shut the fuck up."

I like all the discussion in the comments about the connections to drug use, but I would say that this song is more broadly critical of the entire scientific enterprise, with the way drugs are used, abused, and pushed(marketed) in society being but one example of how our scientific industry seems to be a greater failing than triumph.
"On trying to reconstruct the air and all that brings" certainly makes me think of the bomb, but again, more broadly of how industrialization is literally altering our planet's atmosphere and beginning to make the earth uninhabitable, at least for the foreseeable future. Air sustains life (L. vita), vital breath, and so 'all that brings' refers to biological life, which is literally going extinct due to anthropogenic pressures.
"But this is beginning to feel like the dog wants her bones saved
...
And fortune strives to fill the vacuum that it feeds
But this is beginning to feel like the dog's lost her lead"
The promises that Science is going to, or has replaced God, and will provide us with an everlasting salvation, that we will live forever through Science, are deluded and we aren't in control. Instead the vacuous force of greed (fortune) has taken the lead, and we are merely repeating many of the same mistakes made by Religion in the past. Science has become an entity more concerned with feeding the greedy than feeding the needy. It has become authoritarian, totalitarian. Fucking corporations pumping out viagara to the highest bidders, and frivolous patent disputes between Apple and Samsung.
"This is beginning to feel
like the dawn of the luz of forever" The final light. Nothing more to be said, except I fucking love this song and the depth of the message it conveys.
