Song Meanings
- "Warbots" is about how robot soldiers are being made. The Pentagon's Gordon Johnson of the Joint Forces Command told about the prototypes that have been invented to make this a reality. Mr. Johnson, the weapons inventor, stated, "The lawyers tell me there are no prohibitions against robots making life-or-death decisions." There was a debate on whether the robots can distinguish innocent life against enemy life.
- "Sky Is Falling" is oddly similar to the storm events in California in February 2005. In an article written by the Associated Press writer Ryan Pearson, some of the events that took place with these killer storms are similar to some of the lyrics of the song. Some of the article that seems to mirror the song (whether they be the events or the wording itself) include, "...oozing mud blocked highways..." (similar to lyrics) "...surging river carried away part of an airport," (similar in context) "..one man who was killed by a falling eucalyptus tree..." (similar to lyrics) "...teenage girl crushed by rocks..." (similar in context) "...mudslides and a huge boulder that threatened to roll onto the highway" (similar in context).
- "Krakatowa" is about Krakatoa, a volcanic island in Indonesia. In 1883, a large eruption of the volcano occurred.
