* As is remarked in the ''[[Catalog 3]]'' comments, this might be a reference to the condition [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia synaesthesia], a sort of "crossing" of senses, where an auditory stimulus can cause a visual sensation. There are some synaesthetic artists, inspired to paint an impression of what they see when hear a piece of music, for example. In view of the fact that there is also a ''[[Catalog 3]]'' track called "[[Visual Drone 12]]", this is the view favoured by [DC]. <br />
* Alternatively, it could be taken literally - I saw drones, as in unmanned aerial vehicles. However, this usage of this term was fairly rare in popular culture at the time.<br />
* Additionally, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_(bee) drones] may refer to male bees. Unlike the female worker bee, a drone has no stinger. He does not gather nectar or pollen and cannot feed without assistance from worker bees. His only role is to mate with a maiden queen in nuptial flight. This could also be an allusion to the phrase "the birds and the bees," a talk parents are expected to have with their children.<br />
* The title could also be a play on "I saw thrones", from Revelation 20:4.<ref>https://biblehub.com/revelation/20-4.htm</ref><br />
