The lyrics, "I am a sick man… I am a wicked man" refer to the opening line of Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel, Notes From Underground. The questions of life are attempted to be resolved in an internal dialectic, and the music is meant to reflect the lyrics. The instrumentals present music that is highly patterned in the opening sections as the listener is beckoned to "follow the pattern,” while the end of the song is extremely un-patterned as the lyrics ask, "What's the point of these patterns?"
