    Machine World - The Meaning?
    This is by far my favorite song on the album..but what is it about?

    I get the general idea of it but is it based on a book/movie/something?

    From what I understand it's and old machine that outlasted it's creators by many many years and continues to run and gain knowledge. With this knowledge it has come across it's first question that it cannot answer which is the meaning of it's existence.

    Reminds me of Blaine the Pain from Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series, if you ever read it.

    Am I right with the general idea of it? What's it from? Or was it just randomly thought up?

    I'm sure it means different things to different people, here's my take ;)

    I think it's about exploring reality, what exactly defines 'existence'? People are caught up in their daily doings - we work, we sleep, we fear - but what really defines us? Are all of us the same, working for a greater being?

    Can we die? Who are "we"? Thoughts define us (we reach conclusions by thoughts shaped by perception). So do thoughts ever die? If they don't, are we eternal?

    What is good? ("god... life... creation") What is bad? ("demon... death... termination") - btw, wonderful parallelism :P Who defines what is good, what is bad - whose values are these that we play along by?

    I think it explore big things - what the meaning of reality might be.

    It's like saying twenty thousand years later, what will be important? What's going to be of me? And what is time? We exist in a certain time, and don't in another in the same dimension - why so? ("I am perpetual, I'm everlasting till the end of time")

    Of course, the song builds up the atmosphere and environment. It's just so whole.

    "Down below the desert" - don't know why that image is used, but maybe because most of us don't awaken to see that we're living in a programmed world ("machine world" = mechanical), getting caught up in the stream ("cybernetic), never truly realizing the power and energy in us all ("I am god" - the possibility of everything).

    Wow - Machine World is amazing :D

    Yeah, I like that track as well.
    It reminds me Isaak Azimov's science fiction and his "Foundation" and "I, robot" series.
    It would be no wonder if herr Sielck is familiar with his works.
