I think a lot of people have mistaken intenSion for intenTion... which is when you intend to do something... which adds a completely no meaning to the song.

I think 6. has some purpose to the title.

Sorry if this has been said before.

No. 6 makes sense to me. I see it as a pre-cursor to Right in Two. It explains why the higher power is baffled by our behavior. We have taken all which is good in the world and perverted it.

intension is about pure intention/instinct, just read the lyrics. That's it. 4.

I know the definition suggests its own meanings or interpretations, but I always took the title "Intension" to be meant in this case as a compound word meaning the 'tension within us' or more specifically, between us. "In-tension"

Probably wrong. Fuck waffles.
