Judging by the violent nature of this song, I think its told from the perspective of Mr. Self-Destruct, and his first true interaction with the protagonist. He picks him out (I think he's losing it) and decides now is his chance to destroy him (I want to watch it come down). After these violent outbursts, the villain actually begins putting ideas in the protagonist's head (All the pigs are all lined up, I give you all that you want, take the skin and peel it back, but doesn't it make you feel better). The piano segment represents the protagonist's viewpoint, how he thinks these thoughts are just things he considers as he goes to sleep. Little does he know their corrosive true nature, expressed in the violent, intense sections of the song.
