The meaning behind the album can best be summed up by the lyrics in the title track by the lyrics, "Fifth Wheel In A Cynical Time". The world we live in now is based on power and greed. The people discussed here are the people given the shaft, in other words, they are the underdogs. The lyrics describe those who feel like they are the fifth wheel of society; that they are not necessary for the balance of the vehicle of the modern world. Killer metaphor huh!"
Directly from the band, so cut out the Satanic talk, this isn't Dimmu Borjir.
