Samples / Lyrics
- At 1:54 a distorted voice says:
"Jesus, was it you indeed,
to flirt unkindly with my greed,
promising eternal life,
when you knew it was not right,
when you knew that what I'd need was willingness and comfort there"
A version of the track with the voice isolated can be found here: http://sequoia.ax.lt/nothing-is-real.mp3
Nothing is Real shares melodies with previous track Uritual.
1:12 - "Thank you" or something familiar is being spoken in female voice.
Towards the end of the track, fading in at the 2:56 mark, a distorted, echoed and possibly back-masked conversation can be heard. It is distorted to such an extent as to be completely unintelligible but is still a noticeable and potent part of the final mix.
