Golem II: The Bionic Vapour Boy Lyrics
Lie-rejecting
Human mind correcting
Totem of the living
Self-organized, wrought from the clay
Our king by night, our slave by the day
Giga-giga-gilgamesh
What do you know?
Watch the human life show
OK let's go
O my double
He can pop your bubble
That means trouble
Stronger than a lion
Golem II: the bionic paper boy
Self-perfecting
World-inspecting
Lie-detecting
Our instructions
His induction
Big production
Golem II: the bionic puppet boy
Giga-gilgamesh
Gigagigagigagiga
Beast of burden
Spirit lifting
Master of shape-shifting
Seamless drifting
Shining spotlight
Screaming mobs and stage fright
You get it right
Building a new zion
Golem II: the bionic vapour boy
War-directing
Mind-inspecting
Man-correcting
Our instructions
His induction
Big production
Golem II: the bionic vapour boy
Quoting Trey:
"Golem 1 is simply 'the Golem,' the disturbing story of a superhuman clay homunculous that is brought to life Qabalisticaly in the Jewish tradition. Often this heavy tale is framed in the context of a children's story. Golem II is a Sesame Street/Muppet Movie style treatment of the the subject of Artificial Intelligence and the 'old' Golem's counterpart in the modern world - a growing mythic reality coming ever closer to the surface."

The way I see it, the Golem seems to evolve throughout the course of the song. (Paper -> Puppet -> Vapour) and his description evolves the same way. He gets stronger, more secretive (master of shape-shifting), and more controlling as he advances to the point of scaring the people he was created to protect. I see this as a commentary on the growth of government.
"Our king at night and slave by the day". I think that it's talking about dreams and how the sub-conscious when interpreted properly is trying to lead people to be better people but I don't know.
