I seriously think they just invited in some homeless guy with .... er, I'll just say issues, and gave him a microphone. Maybe someone with a sign that says "The end is nigh". I'm kidding but the lyrics are unsettling. They remind me of instability. If it was meant to be about that, I don't know. The "voices in my head" line seems to go along with that idea. "Connect the goddam dots" seems like a plea to put the pieces together and see the underlying truth and that's a symptom of some mental health conditions.
Edit: Just a small moment that I just had to point out. If you listen closely, just before the drummer plays the blast beat of all blast beats, you can hear 4 taps of a drumstick on drumstick. A count in. Maybe that's only funny to musicians. But they didn't really need a count in there. It's just funny at that speed. I can't explain why but it is.
