One of the most fragile songs on a very dark album, Titanic Terrarium is ostensibly about technology. Blimps and giant cruise ships of yore float through the singer's mind; he is both protected by and imprisoned in a futuristic dome that provides shelter but largely excludes nature (except, of course, pervasive "ants and roaches"). The current situation is sterile and dull, but there is hope at the end: "if there's glory in miracles, it's that they're reversible." Technology is a two-edged sword.
