According to Blake Judd, the album is a metaphor for his views on society's decline. In an interview with DEAF SPARROW Zine, Judd stated the album's themes revolve around his idea humans have a natural inclination to harm themselves through "personal greed, lust, and power". Judd considers these vices to be the cause of society's ills, including war, indifference, and one's own self-destruction. [3]

The album's cover art was designed by Rebecca Clegg.
