The music is characterized by its aggressive, heavily distorted vocals and fuzz guitar, paired with a wild, free-jazz influenced saxophone solo. The rhythm section provides a complex and driving foundation, navigating shifting time signatures and dynamic contrasts. The overall tonality is dark and often feels on the edge of atonality, though G minor can be considered a loose tonal center for the main riffs. The tempo is generally fast and furious, but the piece features a starkly contrasting middle section ("Mirrors") which is slow, eerie, and features the Mellotron prominently. Its mood is undeniably intense and apocalyptic, reflecting the song's critical lyrics about the anxieties and violence of the modern age. The structure is complex and sectional, moving through distinct parts rather than adhering to a simple verse-chorus form, showcasing sophisticated instrumental passages and dramatic shifts in texture and intensity.
