Quoting Thomas Barnett explaining the meanings of the songs:
Like "Cassandratic Equation" from "Chorus of One" [EP, 2001] that was written before November 30, 1999, and the Seattle [World Trade Organization] riots, "Invisible Colony" was written before all of this birther, deather, corporate-manipulated, fake-grassroots-conservative movement. The song is about the divisible, glamorous United States. Our national unity has been a fabrication for a long time, and now people are actually seeing the cracks. If you allow yourself to be manipulated, then the powers that run the country will step in and manipulate you. But if you can understand what's really at stake, then theatrics of a nation state aren't even important to our humanity and to our civilisation. That took longer to say than "Invisible Colony" is a song. [The tune is one minute, 18 seconds]
