The record has already been leaked, =( Though I couldn't wait for it to come out the leaking of the record is still a saddening thing because it was incomplete and it is so beautiful already, so now that they are rushing to release the album to counteract the damage the leak will do to sales who knows what it could have been refined into?
You are wrong about the album being leaked incomplete if you follow their studio blog you know that they had already finished tracking and mixing the whole album as well as sent it to be mastered which was completed. Once a record is mastered there is no more changing tracks or anything. The real crazy/sad thing about the leak was that the mastered version hadn't made it back to thrice yet, it was still only at the the record company, since the one thing Thrice doesn't do themselves is master the record which they send out to do. What was left for them to do was all the artwork and marketing, which is the business side of it. So having it leaked did not in any way effect the sound of the songs of the record it is just changing their marketing strategy.
oh on side note I think it is funny that if the music business didn't get so over caught up in itself and marketing this album would have been coming out right about now like in 60's and 70's after an album was mastered the album would come out in a week or two, but now they are so worried about setting up a single and booking appearances and trying to build up the hype machine it delays the process into which music is able to get to the consumer....
and to get on to what I actually think these song lyrics mean...
yeah this is a pretty straght forward song lyrically, just about the evils of mankind, plus it is dark in the fact that i interpret toward the end that mankind is doomed to failure and cannot be saved and that it was in our nature to always be evil....
