This track is based on a dangerous real-life incident involving the band, where drummer Abe Cunningham, a knife collector, was "messing around" with his knives while drunk one night, leading Chino Moreno to imagine a secret cult having dangerous knife dance parties. The song's lyrics explore this concept of a hidden society with a dangerous edge, inspired by that specific, drunken, knife-wielding event.
