Nikki goes to confront X.  He tells X he wants out, but X brings out the mind control drug and goes after him with it.  Gripped by fear, Nikki flees.  He tries desperately to cover his tracks, believing that X is after him.  As he runs, he has urges to go back to the drug, but he resists them.  He has finally acted against X, but now he fears it may cost him dearly.
    This song could also be seen as a "don't do drugs" message from the band, though that probably wasn't too much on their minds when they wrote it.  The image of the writing on the wall surfaces again here.  With the reference to it, Nikki shows he has begun to believe that his fate is imminent, and not a good one.  This song is imbued with a sense of primal fear, like that of prey fleeing a predator.  In this case, Nikki is the prey and X is the predator.
    The music is fast and frenzied.  The voice sounds almost like it is crying in terror and the lead guitar echoes it.  The heavy rhythm guitar and drums convey a sense desperation.  After the short guitar solo, we hear a short burst of heavy panting, much like that of a person who is cornered and about to die, and knows it.
