Well, the meaning can have several different answers depending on where one´s looking...

From Christianty, the phrase "gnashing teeth" are a exclusive reference to the "final judgment of sinners" as the ultimate punishment for those that are cast aside by the light and will never recieve a,second chance, to be forgiven for their crimes and absolved of their sins as they spend their existence for all eternity in everlasting darkness.

And considering the nature of Eto, Noro and Itori and even Kaneki himself (Centipede)... and the nature of Tokyo ghoul... then there´s a high risk that these people won´t recieve a happy ending... in fact, I believe that they might end like this... captured and forever locked up in Cochlea and never see the rays of light ever again...

(I think that at some point Kaneki Aka Centipede will reach SSS-rank during the story and his regeneration reach to the point were CCG just can´t kill him, regardless of the method.)

So in the end, Itori, Noro, will be sent to the SS-level of the prison while Centipede and Eto will be sent down to the SSS level, perhaps in cells right next to each other. And doomed to spend all of eternity in the confined darkness with no hope of any salvation from their fate and perhaps, with only each other´s voices as company in their pitch-black suffering, just like Adam and Eve´s banishment from the Garden of Eden but instead for the world, they would be banished into oblivion instead.

The image of them sitting tiny cells, seperated by a wall and their kagugan glowing in the dark, trying to have a honest conversation in the eternity of their punishment as Kaneki in a way keeps his promise to Yoshimura as he tries to "save" Eto´s humanity as the old man wished for, sacrificing himself and his own happiness for the sake of others...is actually kind of sad and heartbreaking...

(Tokyo Ghoul, Tragedy ending...)

You can find this symbolism in the bible quite a lot, but I don´t think this is what Ishida had in mind while making the masks...

And besides, Kaneki trapped in complete darkness for all of eternity with only Eto as company? That is sad...

But at least he got one clown dragged down with him in the fall...

(thinking...)

...hmmm...funny, Now I´m starting to picture scenarios of how Itori and Noro would act and get along if they ever encountered and met each other..."Notori"... New ship perhaps?
