The only intuition on the so-called meaning of this track that made any sense was DemonicBaggie's: "It is about an idea. Any idea."
Only even this has to be generalized: why limit ourselves to the idea and not go immediately for the thing, ideas included? (Or, if you prefer, for the fact or even for the process. It is not a matter of terminology: pick your elementary ontological unit and roll with it.)
The lyrics correspond to this level of abstraction. This, in a way, makes it more approachable than other Wire tracks.
