Culture references
The name of the album is a reference to the 1998 PlayStation game Xenogears, where the main character has multiple personalities, including one named Id.[citation needed] The breakdowns in the song "Namaste" are actually written in-key to the mythic numbers featured on the television series Lost (4 8 15 16 23 42).[2] Also, the chorus of the song has the lyric "Live together, die alone", which is a reference to the episode of the same name from the series.
The song "Dark Passenger" is written about the television series Dexter.[3]
