V.A.N (song)

Last updated • 1 min readFrom Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

"That's a song that started just with the hook 'Violence against nature', and then after saving the project with the acronym and seeing it we realized it could be fun to think of 'VAN' as a name. Thus the rabbit hole of ideas began that led us to decide to write lyrics from the perspective of an artificial intelligence gone rogue."[ citation needed ]

The vocal delivery of the verse was influenced by GLaDOS from the video game Portal . [8]
