This song goes quite deep. Obviously, it is machine becoming the new force on the planet, converting humans to machines. This song also has religious references. The term "Eat the meat and spit out the bones" can be used in reference here as well. The term normally refers to the "bones" as something undesirable, like stuff you don't want to hear about, the truth, or in this song's case, Humanity to Machine Overlords. The meat part is the sought after by everyone, so they would easily eat it, be it any topic that is the opposite of the bones. Knowing that, it makes the music video make a lot more sense. The imagery is showing humans being turned into machines, to the point where they are the former in the red robes are worshiping the large machine as a god. listening to it's doctrine and blindly following like a hivemind. In turn, they destroy the human race, the bone, and protect machine, the meat. |
