The song itself is about a futuristic world, hence the pre-release name of "Electro Empire", and fits into the theme of ''[[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]]'', but wasn't included due to its difficulty to play live. The song was otherwise called "Spectrum" and "Tesseract" whilst in production; tesseract being the name given to the 4-dimensional shape analogous to a cube. The song features a powerful bass line and is similar to [[Hysteria|Hysteria's]].

Additional information

The song itself is about a futuristic world, hence the pre-release name of "Electro Empire", and fits into the theme of Origin of Symmetry, but wasn't included due to its difficulty to play live. The song was otherwise called "Spectrum" and "Tesseract" whilst in production; tesseract being the name given to the 4-dimensional shape analogous to a cube. The song features a powerful bass line and is similar to Hysteria's.

Live

Only known to have been played once live at the Reading Festival in 2000. The live version is one of only three songs that contains swearing.

Lyrics

Ignorance pulls

Apostasy and apathy still rules Yeah you know it's cool Just suck and see A future turns us into silent gods And I won't miss you at all

Grounded Boxed in Like the evil in your veins Grounded Boxed in I am stuck with you

Fate can't decide Alignment of the planets in your hands Come on crush our plans Just suck and see A future that won't let you disagree And I won't miss you at all

Grounded Boxed in Like the evil in your veins Grounded Boxed in I am stuck with you

Feel it, hear it, apathy See it, be it, you'll see

Early live version

Can't wait to see

Instead of "Just suck and see"
