At 1:40, they're chanting "axon dendrite." A dendrite is the input part of a neuron cell that receives electric signals, and an axon is the output that transmits signals. Really fitting for a song about electric shock therapy causing insanity. Even more so when you think about how they're singing the output first and the input second. Everything's all backwards.
I'm amazed you even managed to catch that and tell what they're saying in the background. How'd you do that?

I know im super late but its probably because the distorted version is the reversed part, unreversed. They didnt add any distortions to the reversed part because you wouldnt be able to tell, same thing with the base :]

i find it really interesting how the judge says "condemn him to the infirmary" vs "sentence him to the infirmary" or something similar, like he knows that this is going to be equally as nightmarish as being condemned to death or hell

It might just be me but I interpret that clanking nose on the beat near the end of the song as a hammer hitting an ice pick for a lobotomy

[@icewater6841]

I never noticed that until now and now I can’t unhear it.

[@MiaAngelicky]

As someone who's been diagnosed with schizophrenia, this song gives me that episode feel. The distortions, the quiet talking and whispers are like my auditory hallucinations, scattered thoughts etc. Not to mention this song is (I think) about electro convulsive therapy (or someone recieving it), severe schizophrenics and other mental illnesses receive ECT.

[@Acenthus]

The story as it goes is that this guy named Simon went into a forest to look at nature and found a girl that he had met before who is now dead (this is found from the song murders), nobody else could be found and all evidence was stacked against him and so he gets a trial where he knows he can't win, so he pleads insanity hoping to be released without punishment. Instead, he gets forced into ECT which causes him actual insanity where the other songs take place. The overall story of the music is honestly fascinating and it's pretty entertaining to hear other people's thoughts on it.

[@Inna_7284]

​@@Acenthus someone said the guy died during the whole thing. Is that true?

[@Acenthus]

​@@Inna_7284 well both are unconfirmed theories, kinda just up to your interpretation. Mine takes it more at face value while that one's a bit more metaphorical.

[@hemlockshoard493]

From 2:16 to around 3:00 there's a repeating sound that sounds very metallic, like hitting an ice pick with a hammer. I choose to interpret this as representation of some of the first lobotomies.
(POSSIBLY GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF LOBOTOMY BELOW)
it's a bit obvious about the "ice pick being hammered" sound here that the first lobotomies were performed with a simple hammer and-yeah- an ice pick. No special tools. They'd lift your eyelids up and insert the ice pick, hammering it in (I may be off a bit) by 5 inches to get your frontal lobe. Since this song is about the electric chair, it's possible they tried to lobotomize the criminal before their death?
Edit: came back to this and realized I had spaced things wrong!

My favorite part is 1:19-1:40. I mean, the whole song reminds me of being stuck in a nightmare, but for me this part perfectly emulates the feeling of your mind drifting while you are in the nightmare (like intrusive thoughts). You are halfway aware that youre in a nightmare so you try to think of other things to make the dream less scary, things that veer away from the original trajectory the nightmare was going (the music switching between random samples). But in the back of your mind you know your brain might drift back to scary thoughts that will be reflected in your nightmare, so there’s this looming fear that torments you despite how much you try to stop thinking about it (the faint reversed drum beat in the background, the guitar between each change in sound). Then the scary sounds come back and you knew it was coming (loud broken voices). Also, the changes in music feel like I’m changing settings, it feels kind of immersive.

[@cheerio4000]

Damn I can see that a lot, I used to shuffle in my mind anything better that could be happening in the dream. I’d come up with the most random things

[@randomstuffprod.]

If we believe the main theory about the meaning of this song, then it kinda sounds like the main character is trying to distract himself from the agony during the therapy.

[@scribblecloud]

omg you are so right
the other day i fell asleep while extremely tired, but when i tried waking back up i couldnt, and it was lowkey kind of terrifying to be trapped in my own mind and body in a dream and just trying to get back to reality
(i often lucid dream so knowing i was in a dream wasnt too uncommon, especially when falling asleep so quick, but its usually never all that difficult to wake up from one willingly, and my panicked state of mind made the dream more and more uncomfortable to be in, giving it a feeling of wrongness)

Not to mention one of the most disturbing songs I've ever heard, but it's part of a highly recommended album

[@redlove101]

Don’t mind me! I’ve been hyper fixated on this one song for the past 48-72 hours so I’m just here to over analyze the placements of the distortions:
I believe the reverse section isn’t distorted because he is trying to bring himself back to the beginning, and also because we wouldn’t be able to pick up on it. I also think his first verse is severely distorted because it was the last thing he remembers saying before going insane. There’s minor amounts of distortion before the “all mine towers crumble down”. I think it’s because it’s the true start of his trauma in his mind and his mind is trying to block it. The longest distortion section is before “nuns commence incanting” because that’s where his trauma actually is and where his mind actually started breaking so it’s the hardest to remember. I also think the repeated musical phrases are him trying to force his broken mind to work and let him remember. I think there is also a second distortion section before “electrifying” because it’s another major part of his trauma and his mind successfully goes off-track and the sudden return to the music is him forcing his mind back on track. Second to last, I believe the distortions end right before “see how the serfs” because that’s where his mind is fully broken and thus is what’s clearest to his insane mind. Finally, the music quiets down and the vocals get louder on the outro, verses for most of the song the instrumental was extremely loud and was sometimes hard to hear the vocals because of it, because that’s him being fully broken and yet the clearest to him because it is him right now. Anyways, that's just my thoughts, if you have any additions or your own thoughts I’d love to hear them! (Also sorry if the structure of this is awful, it started off as bullet points that I wrote down while listening to the song and decided to structure into sentences for a coherent comment, which is ironic considering the song)

[@redlove101]

Just realized I forgot one: I think there’s a distortion before ‘spiraling down’ because it’s where his actual insanity starts and he speaks again

Even thought this song isn’t about schizophrenia or dementia at all it still gives the vibes. It gives schizophrenia because of the whispers and glitching and the line “Doctor, I can’t tell if I’m not me.” And the trial at the beginning of the song because of the murder.
But it also gives dementia because there are small moments of calming tunes that are like memories but disappear just in a few seconds. And a lot of thoughts scattered along with the glitches. And for this, the line “Doctor, I can’t tell if I’m not me.” Could mean you’re forgetting yourself. And the dementia causes you to kill someone because you don’t know them or you’re think their someone else.
