As the album's conclusion, imagine a speeding whirlwind of resurfacing story arcs. Each stanza during the second half offer conclusions and tie-ins to other songs of the album. For instance "Radio, radio..." stanza is linked to California Dreamer.
The song itself, a continuation of Wolf Parade's long-used theme of mistrust of God, depicts the land of creation in chaos. Foolish leaders, rampant warfare, depleting natural resources, intolerant fundamentalists, and disingenious people run amok. Problem of Evil and all that (the problem of reconciling the existence of evil or suffering in the world with the existence of God, a force for infinite good)
