“Disembodied voices deepen my
Suspicious tendencies
Conversations we've never had
Imagined interplay
Psychopathy
Don't you dare point that at me”
It appears to me to be a commentary on the current call out culture war propagated by the ‘far left’ who are relentlessly, knowingly, misrepresenting individuals in an attempt to de-platform them, or “cull” their “voice.”
This song presents as being linked to Lucifarien Pride, “I know all there is to know” and to disagree is to feel the wrath, and be dehumanised as a ‘psychopath,’ one disconnected from humanity. As the lyrics go, “Donf you dare point that at me.”
“Judge, condemn, and banish any and everyone
Without evidence“

Completely agree. this is a concept album that speaks to the collective of ourselves to reconnect with that common ground. Albeit layered in this song, I think on the surface this is a jab at the new houses of faith the population grew into from the lack of bipartisanship of US government and talking heads waging war through the media. It fits very concisely with the title track, especially (no doubt why they released that first as a primer for the groundwork of this album.) Unbelievably emotional for Tool's work. Best song on the album for sure.

I think this song is summed up in the opening.
