The song focuses around Quickman, usually selected last in a playthrough of Megaman 2, the game the album is inspired by. He's watched all of his brothers fall, and despite his programming and the people about him spurring him on, he feels fate pressing inexorably upon him. The question asked early on, "Does Death Wear Blue?" is a recurring theme in the later part of the album, likening the blue-armored Megaman to a robotic analogue to the Grim Reaper as he destroys more and more of Wily's creations.
The second half of the song, with its repeated "My Circuits Slow" is a reference to Quickman's vulnerability in the game, Flashman's Flash Stopper. The song also shows a surrender to the inevitability the last few of his brethren had felt, knowing he has no chance to win, even if he has to try anyway.
