Ignorance on purpose, yeah. I sort of feel it’s a comment on wilful passivity and just resigning to your surroundings evem though you KNOW how fucked they really are. Pretending that there is no problem, i.e. no solution, in stead of rising above it and take action. We all know people like that, and most have it in them. The “fuck it, I might as well give up before i start something i don’t know if i’ll finish” attitude. I honestly think this is one of Bent’s better lyrics. It points at something very specific in human nature, yet doesn’t condemn it. Not abstract poetry at all, more like a poetic statement of fact. After the, IMHO, very weak “Love Cult” album i had really given up on them, just really SICK of the low-energy, introverted mumbo-jumbo the were releasing at the time, it was really thrilling to hear them return with such ferocity and edge. One of my definitive favourites on BH/BC.
