→Tracklists about God
:I have to agree here with Velvolver. But, I will say the album as a whole is about God, and how we as humans simply use Him as a puppet, or scapegoat. I love the songs In This Twilight and Zero Sum, because after an album full of war, hate and disbelief in God, everyone is forced to face up to the truth and realize "We weren't right. Everything we thought, believed and lived for was false, and there really was something greater going on." Of course by this point it is too late to do anything. This album has a very distinct and strong appeal to human conscious. Trent is trying to get us to see, just as he saw through his addictions and sobriety, that we are all doing things the wrong way, and if we do not change, if we do not take the time to fix things, well nothing lasts forever. Anyways, 04/17/2007 here we come. -[[User:Crasyninfan|Crazyninfan]]
:: Further more on the note of Hyperpower. Hyperpower is a term used in theoretical politics to describe the next level of powers in states (the us as we know it right now is often called a Super Power, as was the USSR during the cold war.) Basically trent's leading in to the album by clearly stating with this intro track that america has ascended the political order to Hyperpower status, but has done so through oppressive and violent tactics (hence the use of a powerful, highly ordered march beat bringing forth chaos and destruction by the end of the track..)
