Welcome to the Dead Zone

This song is flipping amazing but could someone please give me an idea of exactly what it's about - I have my own interpretation but wondered if the band had mentioned anything about it?

Never really thought what it was about, but it certainly is amazing, the best song of the SATT era hands down for me.

Well, it's not about a suitcase full of holes.

Great song. That whole single was really misleading, made it seem like the album would be good!

Didn't need to look, got it instantly.

It's actually what I thought the lyric was first time I heard it!

It's Wire's comment on talent show TV?

It's Sean's music isn't it?

See I thought it was 'a suitcase full of whores' which is altogether more disturbing.

Isn't I'm Leaving You For Solitude one of Sean's as well? Lovely song that.
