The sights seen are repulsive to the speaker – "the sickness in me," "a journey through disease," etc. Ultimately, the fundamental question asked is "What am I, this me beneath?" In other words, what is truly lurking beneath the surface self? This song seems to indicate that the answer may be unappealing.
