  • Frontman Ben Kowalewicz explained to Kerrang! May 30, 2009: "This is about being paranoid. It's about a man whose waking hours are oversaturated by the media; the naysayer on the news stations who tell you how awful everything is and what you need to protect yourself. If you're not of a strong mind-set, this kind of stuff can really wear on you. Some people take it more seriously than others and this man in the story thinks his phones are tapped and he's being watched. Keeping rifles at the door, family in the basement, that kind of thing. Survivalists preparing for Armageddon."
