Cover art for Exteroception lyrics by Machine Head

Exteroception is a psychological term, referring to the perception of stimuli originating outside the body. It's the opposite of interoception, perceiving internal states like heartbeat or pain. Exteroception is awareness of the external world, in that sight, sound, and touch are distinct from the self.

In the context of the story, while this track is an instrumental, the title's meaning alone adds a hidden meaning. It's a metaphor of them waking up from the ideological fog and stepping outside their internal rage to finally see the world as it is. Both lost the ability to see past their hate and were blinded by vengeance. After the dust of the war settles, they can now see their sins and have awoken to the truth. This track serves as the epilogue to the story, the post-credits scene of the two standing in the bloody chaos they created and realizing that they themselves were the ones to blame all along.
