Track 1: Dystopitropolis

The Introduction to a mammoth of an album. The album takes place in the distant future of 2078 and follows the life of 29 year old Venezuelan born Juan Sanchez. This album tells the story of how Juan realizes what is happening to the world and how and what he needs to do in order to stop it. Dystopitropolis is the first song of the first act of the album.

As Juan starts researching and hacking various governments trying to find a breakthrough in his investigation, he realizes their true intentions. “Post-armageddon” symbolizing the aftermath of the final war between the people and politics. “Pre-imperialism” meaning that they only took out their true opponents in order to take over the world and control anyone that’s either too weak or too stupid to know what’s really going on. After the opposition is gone its time for all governments to unify under one single movement. For post-destruction and being involved in pre-relinquishment. Once the enemy is dead and everything is said and done, what is there to do. You won there’s nothing left for you to enjoy in life, these opening lines can also symbolize a game where one player is giving it everything they got but still cant beat their opponent, and what is fun if there’s nothing after the challenge that is ‘challenging’. The torment implies the damage inflicted on Juan as he realizes what the world is shaping into, what is happening right now as he is reading about it. He is the only one in the world that knows about this he thinks to himself, but one guy against an entire army of troops from everywhere seems hardly fair but in the end, life is the most unfair thing in the world.

Juan pictures the government as a spiral, that keeps expanding in every direction, and once its big enough there’s nothing that can stand in its way from being the most dangerous force in the world. He looks past the main spiral to find stuff that he wishes he never saw it but at the same time he’s glad he knows about it. But this leaves Juan in an endless spiral of regret and forgiveness. What’s the point in knowing the enemy if you can’t fight back. This research hit him harder than anything previous in his life. This flipped his life completely upside down, he follows ‘the unplanned’ to reach for the ‘will to learn’, even though he never wants to forget about everything, he can’t. He needs to know more even though deep inside he knows its pointless. Juan realizes that he can’t just forgive the things he regrets in life, but he needs to distance himself from the person he was yesterday.

Juan’s ready to give up on everything. There’s nothing he can do to save the earth from those who swore to protect it at all costs. It’s not worth gaining more information when all the borders (walls) are falling down, who needs frontiers in an age where its all controlled by one group of people. He repeats himself this again to realize that what is happening is permanent, there’s no going back he accepts his fate.

Tornado is a different word for the spiral that Juan talked about earlier in the song and how he tries to go deeper inside to see the eye.

This whole verse is inspired by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross' theory on the five stages of grief, Juan speaks about how none of the clues he found were denying what is going to happen, all suspects (the identity of the suspects are unknown but are often thought of as being the higher ups in the government that’s taking over the world) show no angry feeling about what is going to happen. The victims (the enemy of the new regime) are praying for their very lives but after its all done, the killers never felt bad about slaughtering innocent people while the victim was later embracing death.

Juan paints the new world as a ‘Dystopitropolis’ a paradise for the people who should be rotting in hell for their evil acts. Heaven can’t change because when everyone good is dead, there is no more room for anyone else. Juan is now surrounded and locked up with torment like he is a prisoner stuck in a jail cell serving a life sentence, he can not escape and is stuck there until the day he dies. He starts to think that its to late for him to find a good place to stay in heaven, that all spots have been taken and that he has to settle with staying in hell once his time comes.

He repeats these two lines five times, a reference to the five stages of grief.

Juan goes even deeper into the rabbit hole, getting more and more depressed each time, “No one’s here to claim, no one’s here to blame” symbolizing that there is nothing left, the new regime has already won.

Bringing the ‘dystopitropolis’ back but changing the heaven to earth, the world will never be the same and can’t repair.

The outro is the same as the intro but reversed. Juan realizes that he can’t go back in time no matter how hard he tries. He knows what’s going to happen and he needs to find a way to tell it to a mass audience without them turning on him.



Track 2:This is what you wanted?

The second song of the album starts with strange and reversed audio of an orchestra, Juan knows what’s going on and all he has to do is to tell the masses and find a way to make them believe you.

Juan tells us that he can’t speak out about it because no one will believe him or if they do then Juan will be a target, no one wins except the enemy. He’s on the point of no return this is it, he’s on the street/time where no one can be saved. He is stuck moving forward in life, there’s nothing for him to do about it. He moves with time, time moves with him and him alone. The ‘final star’ between Juan and the person he is talking to could reflect the last glimmer of hope flying away, when that star stops burning, there is nothing left, Juan only has the power to look at it, as it will be the last thing he sees. The star could also mean the last warning before its all done, the strongest side has won and the opposition has been totally obliterated.

Between these verses is an incredibly long instrumental section that becomes faster and faster, like a time bomb that ticks, the faster the song goes, the less time there is left until it detonates, symbolizing that the world can't be saved. The first part to this instrumental is very slow but up beat with many bass effects and sound effects including a heartbeat. The drums have this hypnotic rhythm that instantly hooks you in, the heartbeat leads almost perfectly into the second half of the instrumental, which is a lot faster but keeps the flow but with a different sound, this time featuring bass, drums, guitars along with pianos. This section ends on the second half of the song, the wind blowing at different directions with drums, bass, xylophones, saxophones glockenspiel.

The black holes could be representing the government lying to the masses of how they are gonna make the world a better place by getting rid of whats bad for us. They never told anyone that what they mean by bad is that everyone who is irrelevant, unintelligent, weak, believes in another deity or other things. They cause everyone to hate each other by several mind games and in the end win against the population by any means necessary, even lethal. The black holes could also be the public who doesn’t believe Juan for what he is saying, they suck up what the government wants them to think, see, taste, smell, hear and say. If you strongly believe in one thing from someone who clearly has all the power in the world. Why would and should you believe in someone weaker and sounds like a raving conspiracy theorist. Juan is talking about how the world he believes in has become this nightmare, the broken lever can’t be switched, its always on or off depending on whatever you believe. Juan talks about his girlfriend Olivia who is stuck as a puppet, controlled by the government as a slave, he tries to get her to switch sides but it will not work no matter what he does. He keeps on trying to brainwash Olivia to get rid of everything the regime wants her to know and feel.

Juan is sitting in an old rusty bed, it might mean death bed because he could be thinking about committing suicide at this point. The book he is reading is not a book, its his life, he is the last book that still contains his own thoughts, none of which are government controlled. The last page symbolizes his last few days alive, he knows he is about to die but he doesn’t know what is better, should he kill himself and keep all the information while the people suffer or does he try to attempt a heroic feat and try to rescue everybody from the government and most likely become captured and executed for political conspiracy. He cant really decide but keeps it on his mind. The page being sealed shut meaning that he knows there is no escape, he is 100% going to die either with all the information to himself or all the information to the regime.

He decides to not kill himself just yet, he needs to know how it will all end even though he clearly knows its ending horribly no matter what he does. He tries to forget that this is happening, removing it from his brain as he becomes more and more hopeless.

The vile of cyanite is so tempting to Juan, he wants it, he needs it, its the perfect way to leave before anyone notices he is holding valuable information. He thinks that its holding him down, trying to make him want to think about it and only it, he snaps out of it and looks away. A shadowy figure begins to slowly walk in closer and closer, with a large hunting knife in hand. Juan cant move because of what he thinks is a formula.

He thinks they know that he is holding the information. He is about to just give up on life. Forgetting this all happened. The knife/dagger stabs him right in-between the eyes. he thinks he is done for, he wants it to be over, when he opens his eyes again he is far from home. The lyrics end with “I” symbolizing that he was in the middle of saying something but never did, he either did die from the stab wound, take the cyanide or did he escape.
