The meaning of this song is intertwined in the meaning of "Complete and Utter Confusion..."
"Complete and Utter Confusion..." talks about the influence of corporate America and controlling the media. The last lines of the song, "Tell me what it is you fear the most. We'll take it, adjust it, use it on the radio," mirror the first lines of "...As a Result of Signals Being Crossed."
"You can't keep God off the radio... You can't keep the devil from the media... The church is trying to peddle something much worse."
The signals being crossed are religion and the media.
Also, "The Always Open Mouth" is a concept album related to the degradation of society and its inevitable end.
