A Theory
What's with the extra bar at the bottom of all the artwork files for ''[[The Slip]]''? The only place they seem to appear is on the wiki (ie. they're not in the PDF of the embedded images in the MP3s)? It's most notable on [[Lights In The Sky]] and [[The Four Of Us Are Dying]].

This was posted in the main article and I thought it would be better on this Discussion page.--[[User:Leo3375|leo3375]] 11:45, 13 May 2008 (PDT)
===Potential Year Zero Concept===
Although not officially stated, the concept seems to show certain events which happen to the main characters in the year zero universe. Below are some potential meanings to certain songs:
====1,000,000====
This song could be about a person who has been lead to believe something and realised it was all just a lie, so he has become over eccentric with the idea and decided he no longer wants to believe anything, he feels more alive now he is no longer restrained, at the same time he feels like he has to destroy himself because he has no meaning.
====Letting You====
How the fictional government are controlling its people but the people are to afraid to do anything about it. Another part of the song shows how the soldiers they are training believe they are fighting for liberty but they only seem to be fighting for the same lost cause as their leaders.
====Discipline====
This song resembles one specific person who seems to believe he is doing something wrong, or is being told he is doing wrong, so he should be disciplined. This could also resemble certain torture techniques the government use on prisoners (much like in the movies), which in turn, forces them to think they are doing something wrong when in fact they aren't.
====Echoplex====
This song is from the eyes of someone who is being held captive, how he is going crazy and is starting to believe he can see everything, most likely because of a lack of the fictional parepin which helps repress feelings of control. It also seems like he is slowly being forgotten about and nobody is going to rescue him from his cage.
====Head Down====
This song resembles somebody talking to themselves, trying not to get caught for something they have done wrong, with feelings of people watching him at all times, waiting for him to slip up.
====Lights In The Sky====
This seems to show a couple, which are more than likely a part of the resistance. One of them (Most Likely The Male) may have had a chance to escape the carnage the government is creating, but wont leave the other due to feelings for eachother.
====Corona Radiata====
This album is a little bit more curious, as the corona radiata are several protective layers surrounding ova or unfertilized egg cells, responsible with supplying the ova or egg cell with protein. This could mean the couple from lights in the sky are expecting or dont know the female is pregnant, possibly with the demon seed, as the red line in the image is connected to the artwork for demon seed. the song also begins with a more muffled sound much like you are listening from the inside of the womb, and gradually gets clearer and clearer.
====The Four Of Us Are Dying====
This songs artwork is not directly linked to the demon seed, much like lights in the sky, this means they are not being affected by the seed for the reason shown below. It could also show the main characters of the plotline dying out, ushering in the new era and the demon seed.
====Demon Seed====
This could be from the point of view of the child the girl is bearing only older, perhaps an orphan wants to find out more about their parents, only to find they were killed as part of a government resistance, this child would then decide to carry on what there parents started and take down the government, creating a new resistance. This is the theory on how the artwork for demon seed is connected to everything on the album apart from the potential resistance members, it never knew its family, yet it is able to change the course of everything else which is happening in the universe around it.
These are only speculative theories and have not been officially stated.
