The 'anonymous' creature metaphor is something I've seen pop up in multiple lyrics before, and the lyrics often revolve around the same interpretation of this creature. In this song, I think of this creature as being the collective subconscious. It's the inner self within us that we don't want to reveal to others out of fear of becoming too vulnerable, so we spend our entire lives mastering the different masks we put on to influence people in ways that are favorable to us. In this regard, this creature could be thought of as this powerful consciousness within us that wants to break out and evolve out of the suffering that has binded the world for so long, but instead we hold back in fear and quarantine ourselves from such madness.
