"2+2=5"

The subject of the song is conformity and reactions to conformity. The tone at first is defiant of the conformist society, using words like "forever" and "stay" to express a firm resistance from the subject, but as the song comes to an end, the tone becomes uncertain using words like "maybe" over and over to express the faltering of firmness as the speaker begins to conform. The theme of the piece is "conformity is persistent and eventually inevitable".
