@Woonary
It’s related to the French expression –
A band apart
– Which translates to English as “a band of outsiders“, but more than that has the sense of – a group of people who are not like other groups of people.
So this lyric is talking about a type of science that is not like other types of science. A science set apart from other sciences due to a fundamental difference.

@isthmus_x I get it, but it seems the meaning you suggest looks not matched with the context of the song. Heads (as in heads or tails) on a (different, special, unusual) scince?

First thing – don’t expect conventional grammar or easily digestible ideas from song lyrics.
Second thing – I explained the thing that you wanted explained. Working out the song‘s meaning is your business.

@isthmus_x Sure, you are right. I found that I didn't say "Thank you" first. Sorry. And thank you for your first and second answers.
