Samples/Lyrics
- Forwards: "One two three four five, six seven eight nine ten. Now in Spanish, then in French, we'll say that twice again." (sample source unknown)
- Backwards: "We love you all!" (also forwards)
- "I'll be gone about a week. Oh, by the way, I brought..." (forwards and reversed; from the film Season of the Witch)
- (The "Season of the Witch" lyrics come from a dream sequence at the start of the film (audio sample), where, among other things, the lead female character dreams that her husband is leaving her in kennels for the week while he goes away. A dog barks in the cage next to hers. You can't hear the "brought her pillow" in the BoC sample - I added it to complete the quote. Note that this is NOT the film of that name in the "Halloween" series; it is a different film, with an alternative title of "Jack's Wife", which I think better conveys the fact that it is essentially a psychological drama and not a horror film - [DC]). (audio sample provided by YELLOW)
- "If you go down to the woods today, you'd better not go alone!" (reversed; from the song Teddy Bear's Picnic)
- As for "the teddy bear's picnic", thanks to [Krelian] for an interesting observation: the song is from The Singing Detective, a series with a theme of childhood trauma.
- "I don't know, it makes it ???. I still got 'em, I still dream about him. I don't know, I just wish it had never happened." "??? the whole thing?" "The whole ... the whole thing goes over and over." (reversed; sample source unknown)
- Mike Jedlicka spotted the source: it is apparently an "A & E" Investigative Report, called "Behind Bars: Supermax", in which an interview is held with Tommy Silverstein; the words above are apparently from this interview. Also, what Tommy Silverstein was talking about is when he killed a police officer while in jail.
- "so, those prophecies you've been describing" ... "and now to business [matters?]..." (reversed; sample source unknown)
- Towards the end of the track, a voice repeats something like "it must be a [message] ... look up there!" [DC]
