The easy explanation...."An Autopsy" is about a body of some sort that has been removed from it's grave and is being examined. The more complex explanation....it's not exactly an exhumed being that has been taken by graverobbers or anything, but a body that was dug up for an honest reason. They weren't examining someone who died naturally. This being had something else going on at the time of it's passing and they (the ones conducting the autopsy) are unraveling a story as they make each incision. As they examine him, they seem to become one with him in some eerie way. It's a very disturbing and graphic moment. I think that the being, when it was alive, became sudddenly taken over by something else....possibly a ghost or some source of evil and even after it had passed, the torment within itself had remained and the body's mind was trapped.
After they "sever the skull", they free the being from the torment that was life and is death. I believe the mind of the being had been dormant and is now in discarnate form....where it goes is beyond me.
This is a lot of explanation for one song, but I'm majorly into these guys and (side note) when you smoke bud, they take you on a trip you'd never imagine....hence the long explanation.
