| great song. the guitar line is very fast paced and intese. moshmongrel was right about the definition, i think. to Eleventeen: i don't know, because alot seems to go against capitolism in my mind, and sweden is anything but capitolist. | |

| Mostly agreing with ddadutta. I think this is "simply" a sci-fi-story about humans being breeded or cloned as a spare parts inventory or something ("a virtual drogstore"), and the other humans being so used to it that it even doesn't seem bad anymore ("when we can no longer cry and reality is torn then itīs easy to forget that the responsibillity lies on us all") | |

| Hmm. I almost wonder if this is more of a "sci-fi" song as per Fear Factory: visions of future apocalypse when humans are no longer truly human. Then again, this can be taken in the context of genetic engineering and modern "comforts of living". I wonder about the lines "Where we can no longer / cry and reality is torn". Taken in terms of the sci-fi... it would seem that the talk of "machine, meat and blood" would mean that emotions are hard-wired out of humanity. In the context of genetic engineering, it could mean that our current media so bombards and saturates us that we become desensitized to world pain and horror, and to the testing that is done on animals for the drugs that provide the remedy to almost any malady we face. | |

| This song is about modern technology and Eugenics and how we use it to make life easier and we start to lack the effort to be true to ourselves (a virtual drugstore) artificial highs people get from modern life and soon life gets boring and we lose our ability to have awe for life. | |
