In Flames - Episode 666 Meaning

Episode 666 Lyrics

Welcome here, the squirrel-wheel begins
fasten the left hand belts
Remember not to think too much
and your trip will be numbingly pleasant

Non-caring is the easiest way
but to secure a passage to the 2nd plane
you have to complete level...

   Its pretty simple. Another song reflecting the dissilussionment of members of modern society, in this case anders and co.... "the squirrel wheel begins" refers to the futile cycle of living in modern society. "remember not to think too much, and your trip will be nimbingly pleasant", about the apathy of today. The whole song paints a bleak picture of us moving powerless, numb and blind through through "urban gravestones", using 666 to conjur the sense of despair and chaos. Fantastic song though, perhaps the best of the best in flames (older stuff.)

   I read the lyrics over and over again and both of the interpretations above make sense.
