Analysis and Explanation

Alike Behold, The Glove, the song was first played (on tape) as an interstitial during the Simulation Theory World Tour. Because of it's two distinct parts, a melodic one and a more sinister-sounding one, it was used under two different names on the setlists :

  • STT Interstitial 1 was played before Madness during the whole tour except a few shorter sets like Austin where it was played before Pressure as an intro to the show.
  • STT Interstitial 3 (combined with Guitar Noise) was used as an intro to Metal medley, during the inflation of Murph, starting from the 3rd gig of the tour.


The song made no appearance in 2022 but came back with the start of the US leg of the Will of the People World Tour in Chicago where a part of it was played as a background music during the JFK speech, introducing Kill or Be Killed.
