This is indeed one of Fear Factorys best songs. The opening is just jaw dropping when Burton roars ' SHOCK !!!' multiple times, i was blown away when i first heard it. I think tha this song is about Edgecrusher ( from the concept story in the Obsolete lyrics booklet) telling assembeled resistance members about his plans to bring down the totallitarian organisation Securiton and secure humanities freedom, Edgecrusher believes he will be a ' Shock to the system'. Thats my interpretation, i may be wrong, lets hear what other people think.
