Lyrical content

Much of the lyrics for the album are a political reaction to the mass media and the military policy of the Bush administration, inspired heavily by the election year of 2004. “I thought the collective dissent of our generation would bring about positive change. When that didn’t happen I felt like the bottom had fallen out,” vocalist Jordan Blilie commented.

  • "Feed Me to the Forest" is "a picture of the hyper-industrialized times we live in."
  • "Trash Flavored Trash" is "about the emptiness of news media."
  • "Teen Heat" is about the distribution company Artistdirect with whom the band was having difficulties at the time.
  • "Celebrator" and "Devastator" are direct criticisms of the United States military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan.
