In time 9:28 when Dev screams: "I am a puppet" I noticed that the backvocals screams "puppets" insted "puppet".... is that accident? Or it`s just me...

Hmmm, I don't really know.

One thing about this song though - I love the reference to Voices In the Fan

"Who's the weakest now?
Caught up in the wire
I'm already gone
Who's the weakest now?"

Interesting too that the next song on Ziltoid is The Greys, while the next line in Voices In the Fan reads:

"It's the grey days that
I'll remember the most
It's the grey times in the water
Before morning."

I do enjoy referring back to the past and I'm interested in people's thoughts on this particular example?

^Hey, thats pretty cool. I got the VITF allusion in Color Your World, but not The Greys.

The Wrong Side part in the first verse always gives me chills.

The part from Wrong Side is amazing...it fits so well!

I wish Dev would release something new soon D:

Oh, that was an intentional reference? I just thought Devin was running out of ideas. My bad!

Do you think he used the lyrics from "Wrong Side" and "Voices in the Fan" for the fans sake, or because he wanted to re-use them in a different context in order to re-energize their meaning? The Dev has been known to apparently not like reworking or updating previously completed songs, so maybe including the specific lyrics is a way to give their meaning new life without remixing his old tunes.

I think it's probably just a bit of fan service.

Hmmm ... could be. I'd love to find out exactly why he used past references in this track. I still don't know if the Greys reference is deliberate but it would be a startling coiincidence ifit wasn't.

Maybe you're all (again) over-analyzing things and the only correct answer is "It just sounds right".

It certainly sounds right but I've got no doubt Dev rekindled those lyrics for a particular reason.

Art can be a spontaneous and instinctual thing you know...doubt there was much reasoning behind this.

He is yelling I am a puppet, and the back vocals are yelling we are all puppets.
