I can't believe I'm the first person to comment on this song but --- my pleasure.
Tori says this song was inspired by Zecharia Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series, which concerns the writings of the ancient Sumerians and their ideas regarding time. "It talks about Rome ending -- B.C. and then A.D. -- and the idea of what was supposed to happen at zero point", she explains. "I found there to be a strange correlation between America being the super power that it is and Rome being the super power that it was, and what comes along with that kind of power... how you can really forget the responsibility that you have to humanity. The ego becomes bigger than spirituality".

To be honest, it took me many listens to actually get into this song. But the venus (my second favorite album by her) vibe is there. This song is a freakin' mess. Awesome!
