Damn this song is good. Alright, so what I hear is a wake-up call. Society and our culture is crumbling. We’re ignorantly slumbering through our end times, our epilogue. Tool is asking us to wake the F up. Stir us from our greedy, wanton slumber. Calling us to arms to wake up and make something of our epilogue. Rousing us from our apathy. Rather than wallowing in this toxic culture of social media and everyone at war with one another over our opinions and beliefs. We must muster every fiber, mobilize, and stay alive in order to stay the reading of our epilogue, because if we continue the way we’ve been, it’s over for us.
Just my two cents. Very much seems like a more mature Message but similar to the message of Aenima.
@Elidril Nicely put. This song reminds me a very hard-hitting philosophical book, "Ishmael", by Daniel Quinn -- humans won't "wake up" until we're close to our own self-inflicted demise, and by then... who knows, will it be too late? Anyhow, I really love how the song (vocals and instrumentals) starts out softly and gains intensity as it nears the end; almost certainly how humanity's struggle to stay alive will intensify as we slowly begin realize our ignorance and dissension can no longer be ignored.

@Elidril Sounds reasonable. I also read in quite a bit of environmental awareness. Not just society, but the whole planet is messed up thanks this madness of our own making.

Yeah yeah people have been proclaiming the extinction of human society for thousands of years, yet we're doing better than ever. Any time a new technology comes along, like social media, people tend to think that the world itself is crumbling and the end is nigh. Meanwhile, people adapt and society adjusts, and things keep improving.
This song is actually about the self loathing degenerate nihilists that are sitting around wallowing in their own misery because they think the end is nigh.
