And i don't need to see any more to know that i can read your mind.
Well, it's impossible to know what was going on in the mind of the songwriter, but i can say from my own experience that very often cool songs come from the intersection of two ideas, as can happen when you take something simple but put a metaphorical spin on it. The song might be using the "mystical all-seeing eye" metaphor as a way of being sarcastic: "You're so good at your subtle mind games, so i must be a demigod because of how easily i see through them."
Anyways, just an idea. You never really know. It could be an even deeper metaphor for something else, or just some guy's zany drug trip...
The rest of the album, for the record, has equally strong metaphors in a lot of songs, and many of them also have a 1st and/or 2nd person role in them. I guess they were just in a space when they wrote it.
