The title of the song is related to a piece of art titled Piss Christ, which is a bottle of urine containing a plastic crucifix. According to the artist the work represents the cheapening and commercialization of religion. Fear Factory's lyrics represent this idea well, portraying a society that has traded in genuine faith for a man made idol that uses the same iconography. The phrase "where is your savior now?" and lyrics throughout are targetted at those who pretend at religion for social and pop culture reasons.
Like the original work of art, many who listen to this song infer intentional blasphemy, which is not the case.
