My first idea is that the numbers represent letters of the alphabet, perhaps with some of the letters paired. Possible letters, then (with A=1 to Z=26), are:
3=C, 2=B, 21=U, 1=A, 11=K, 13=M, 14=N, 4=D
Or, if A=0 and Z=25, these are:
2=D, 2=C, 21=V, 1=B, 11=L, 13=N, 14=O, 4=E

I also venture that somehow the clue in parentheses (it's clever) is significant...the second possibility contains all the letters of 'clever' except for R (17)...

Okay, I'm lost.
