Composition

The single criticises the Identity Cards Act 2006. A statement from the band cited the issue as the reason that Tennant ceased his well-publicized support of Tony Blair's Labour party.^{[citation needed]} The lyrics are fully masked and converted to the homage to Yevgeny Zamyatin's dystopian novel We,^{[citation needed]} in which the inhabitants of the future One State try to build The Integral, a glass spaceship, in order to solve the cosmic equation and resolve all the problems in their One State.
