While this song and "Run Like Hell" are considered Prize Fighter Inferno demos, there are other ways of interpreting them as well. We know that this song was being worked on during the album "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3", and that album has a three-song suite (the Camper Velourium trilogy) featuring Al, a psychopathic serial killer.
Al, an intelligent card-shark, kidnaps women whom he thinks look like Luci, his ex-girlfriend, and mental-obsession. These women are then restrained with a potent knock-out drug, put on ice, and hanged from hooks in the freezer aboard his ship (see Issue 11 of the IKSSE3 graphic novel).
I believe that "Blood Machine" and "Run Like Hell" may have originally started as demos for the Camper Velourium saga. This one, the earlier of the two, would have given the listener a bit more insight into the character of Al, who, throughout this song, is seen killing people, using formaldehyde to preserve their bodies, and generally playing with their corpses. A very morbid and unsettling set of images.
