Annotationen
Das ist der Song mit dem Kontroversen Video, in dem US Truppen rothaarige Jugendliche zusammentreiben und gefangen nehmen, um sie über ein Minenfeld zu hetzen, wobei sie in die Luft fliegen. Maya Arulpragasam greift solche militanten und kontroversen Themen auf, weil Konflikt und Krieg eine wesentliche Rolle in ihrem Leben gespielt haben: Ihr Vater Arular war ein Tamil Aktivist.
Das im Song verwendete Sample stammt von Suicide: Ghost Rider.
