Lyrically, the song is talking about believing what you are told to believe. He is paying attention to what he is being told, he likes the safety of being controlled. He doesn't like to think for himself.
The music to me sounds like something bad is about to happen. It's almost taunting to me, and after the chorus it gets more upbeat.
In 1984, they say you have to believe everything you are told, even if it is 2+2=5. The song is talking about being controlled by The Man, submission, and totalitarianism.
