Musical themes
In an interview with MetalSucks, Arpmandude elaborated on some of the lyrical themes present on the album saying that many of the songs are not "about being pissed off at women." "Medusa" describes the difficulty of getting over someone when we have to see them all the time. ".44" refers to Son of Sam while "Duct Tape Smile" describes the set of a snuff film. "The Burning Halo" touches on exorcism, "X and Y" describes a sex change and "Ms Shyflower" is about being buried alive.Track listing
