So, a few things: for one, the Self and the I are two different things. The I/ego — which hinders the spirit — is what needs to be destroyed for the Self — which is closer to the spirit — to be liberated. You'll notice lyrics alluding to the Self vs the I throughout their music. I also wrote an analysis on Reddit a while back. Feel free to read. Hope it'll give a bit more insight into what the song is about.

"To the death's head true" is about devotion to the energies of the 218/182 Currents. See the comment here:
