“Conditional” is about a deeply-seated psychological mechanism at work in almost everyone, myself included: the tendency to make one’s sense of “happiness” conditional on a particular desire being fulfilled. The idea that once you get a certain something, either material (objects - for musicians typically an instrument or piece of gear -, a house, a specific living place, a travel experience, etc) or immaterial (a relationship, a career or work achievement, a certain physical appearance, a physical ability, technical proficiency at a skill, a certain amount of perceived wisdom or intelligence or any other quality, etc), *then* you will be happy. Of course the wheel of life spins in a different way… Making this song was part of an attempt to both accept and overcome this very human aspect of myself.
