I think listening to this song can actually make you smarter. Here's why: If you can listen to and process every chord, every drumbeat, and then listen to the song again and again and start to predict those impossibly fast notes, then your mind is working on a plane above most others. Doesn't matter if you're a nuclear physicist or philosopher, it takes some serious brainpower to really hear every drumbeat and chord. I doubt there's anyone out there who can hear every note in this song clearly without totally dedicating themselves to listening to it. This song gets you completely into the moment when you listen to it, and that is much better than what most of pop music does today. Heavy metal isn't all that bad, dammit.
From a medical standpoint the song title has to do with the "watershed area" where blood vessels end and start to return the blood to the body via veins. When the body goes into shock, the blood pressure drops, and these areas are the first to lose blood supply, and they can die. That's why you lose your toes first when you get frostbite.
