Destroying Transduction Lyrics

Cover art for Destroying Transduction lyrics by Cool Hand Luke

"destroy the transducers" by cutting out the tongue, he no longer channeled the energy that comes from the original stimulus to bad energy (speaking against another person.) The energy stays where it was and he endures it. Such awesome imagery.

Interesting that this leads to numbness. I wonder if this is the same numbing agent that is refered to in the song of that title.
