The lyrics are somewhat nebulous (even for Meshuggah), but I think the greater objective of the song is to offer a glimpse into profound angst. The maddening truths of life cast the speaker into despair, and the "I see... unseen/I feel... unseen" part is the resulting nihilistic concession. It's interesting to note that this is one of the few Meshuggah songs in which the lyrics were not written by drummer Tomas Haake, but by vocalist Jens Kidman.
