1. In its lyrics, this song talks about being trapped and not being able to escape this perfect world and its specific set of rules. He's trapped in a utopia where rules and more rules trying to make everything okay as so they're trying to set a world for everyone to live in. He doesn't feel that it should be this way because he doesn't want to be a part of it. He describes a world where nothing makes sense anymore because they're trying to rewrite the past telling lies. Towards the end, he is questioning what this is supposed to be.
2. The music helps this because it's fast and it keeps going. There is a lot of repetition. I think the repetition helps the listener realize that he's trapped, the music helps build on that tension and make the listener feel what the artist does and to see what's happening. The loud drums contributed to this as well as the fast tempo the music holds throughout the song.
3. The title is an allusion to 1984. In the book, Orwell uses "2+2=5" to realize that false statement.
