I see a lot of really acid/hallucinogen-induced off-the-wall stuff here. Not that there's anything bad about that. But I believe many are overthinking this a bit.
I think this song basically means "Leave the country."
The noises you hear a couple times throughout the track sound a lot like planes taking off to me. The words "The system is down." are said, and then that awesome rumble then turns into the sound of a plane taking off.
The system (our country) is down.
Wikipedia: ""Viginti Tres" is Latin for "Twenty Three" - the number has a lot of historical, mathematical, and occult significance, as well as in American slang, where "23 skidoo" means to leave a place quickly."
Planes taking off, Leave a place quickly, the system is down?
Sounds like "leave this shithole" to me.
Listen to it again from this perspective and tell me what you think.
