Culture references

The name of the album is a reference to the Freudian concept of the Id part of the structural part of the human psyche.[4] The breakdowns in the song "Namaste" are actually written in-key to the mythic numbers featured on the television series Lost (4 8 15 16 23 42).[5] Also, the chorus of the song has the lyric "Live together, die alone," which is a reference to the episode of the same name from the series. The song "Dark Passenger" is written about the television series Dexter.[6]
