It's an introspective on Nikki's character that provides the climax for the Mindcrime story. Basically, Nikki is looking into a mirror, and realizing that he doesn't recognize the person he's become.
The ultimate depths of depression, leaving Nikki broken and utterly alone. And it ends, of course, with an audio montage of the entire album. It's themes are smashed together, and then out of the cacophany you find the single most important thread: redemption.
