Gates Of Steel Lyrics

This song plays into the whole De-Evolution thing. To me, it's about how no matter how hard we try we really aren't that far off from the apes we derived from--there's nothing special about us--and then the duality of the ego refusing that notion and wanting to be more than the sum of your parts.

@ryan108718 oh---and it totally rocks. It's my gettin'-outa-the-shower-gonna-have-a-great-day song.
