I see this song as describing the constant mental torture that people with depression, schizophrenia or similar illnesses subconsciously put themselves through. Eventually, the person regresses into what Haake calls "nothingness"...could be an exaggeration of the feeling of complete nothingness in one's soul. Alot of Meshuggah songs seem to be about people with mental illness. I guess that's where the name came from.
