Okay, I'll pull this song apart:
The conscious man is dead
And I buried him
I think this part is talking about a human, who in his struggle against machines has alienated himself from his inner humanity.
Beneath this scarred tissue
Armored skeleton
The machine is now alive
Desensitized with open eyes
Powered by an angry mind
And is refuelled by those I despise
I think in order to fight the machines, he himself has become one - but I also think this part is not literally - a la Terminator, but rather a metaphor. Those he despises are the machines - fight fire with fire so to speak.
I've become what they detest
A delinquent survivalist
Without fear and no regrets
They fucking say
I am a criminal
Self explanatory - he has gone against the machines - become a bee in their bonnet if you will. He unlike the rest of humanity has broken away from the machines rules and is now an outcast.
I must steal
To survive
I must kill
To moralize
Leaving people victimized
Fuels my angst inside
I think this section talks about his struggle overall - he has gone against his own humanity - however the ironic phrase "I must kill to moralize" refers to not only the killing of machines - but humans as well - the machines have forced him to take drastic measures and part of that is reminding people of true humanity - that being that they can go against their morals and values - something the machines have taken away.
I'm your judge
And your jury
You don't get
An attorney
With my verdict
Of guilty
An execution in fury
Judge Dredd anyone?
The machine is now alive
To wreak havoc in your lives
There's no use to hold me back
I am ready to attack
Again his stance against everyone - he is now an outcast survivalist - and will wreak havoc on the machines and those who follow them.
I've become what they detest
A delinquent survivalist
Without fear and no regrets
They fucking say
I am a criminal
I am a criminal
I am a criminal
I am a criminal
They i think is both humanity and the machines - he is now an outcast from all vestages of society - and with a lack of resolve in the song - it is up to the listener to determine his fate.
