The album evolves around the struggle between machine and man, and this track seems to be that man is being replaced by a machine.
I however also get a sense of a metaphor being used. That is, they aren't literally losing their limbs but instead the disease (their mindset) is changing so drastically that it changing their whole view on the world (that is they are shedding their old self and being reborn anew). Hence why they don't recognise themselves anymore.
