To me, this song is about making the perfect human, while demonstrating how monstrous and far from human 'perfection' can be. It shows that flaws are what makes us human.
They take away everything that makes a human. The organs, the skin, the senses, the ability to fear and, most importantly, the ability to lie. "Without speech there will be no deceit". Fucking goosebump line, followed up by that giant, break-down-your-door riff.
It's perfection, except its not. I guess Meshuggah's trying to make fun of how extreme religion can become and how people will follow anything if brainwashed enough, regardless of how immoral it originally seems.
