I believe this song is about the progression of men turning away from their Creator. Many people choose to turn the cold shoulder to God and Christianity. In other words, they close their eyes so they don't see the light (of God) and close their minds (to Christianity).
Instead, they are led on by worldly things and brainwashed by today's secular culture. They idolize men instead of God ("...exchanged the incorruptible/for the image of fallen men"). They believe the lies that are spoonfed to them instead of the Truth of God's Word. Eventually, these lies are the only things that they believe and even want to hear; all differing opinions are shut out.
I especially like the part that is sung (not screamed). "The heavens wait in silence/For the coming of the end/As man perfects his own imperfection/Destruction closes in." This should be a wake up call. God is watching the world destroy itself. He watches as man perfects his imperfections, attempting to play God. But all the while, they are destroying themselves but don't know it because they believe all their own lies and shun differing opinions.
But in the end, what was it for? What did they spend their life doing? They dug their own graves to rot in. Everything that they made comes crashing down on them, because what they have made is not eternal. All their self-created lies and "perfect imperfections" has led them to 6 feet under, and no farther. Death is waiting for those men; just as the heavens are silently watching the world destroy itself, so is the devil.
Also, "dichotomy" is the splitting of a whole into two separate parts, which furthers my point. Men, who are inherently God's people, split themselves as far away from God as they can. They separate themselves through their lies and creations.
