Copy and pasted from other threads, cuz I'm lazy:

What the song is about to me: ""Demon Seed" is a very fun one to write about, but I don't know why. It shows how the hatred he has for life keeps growing and how he has been tolerating life and trying to behave himself. At the end, he finally knows what life is all about and he also knows what he is. He has this "seed" in him that makes him do things and he finally tells him to give up. The only reason he jumped off every rooftop and shot himself in the mouth and lived is this "seed". He is this "seeds" host and it lives off him, and since it lives off him, it sucks away his life, which is why he hates it so much, because he barely has any for himself. Unable to fight with the "seed", he goes back into the box he broke out of and stays there forever. He always wants to get out, but the "seed" makes him stay."

How it relates to the album cover to me: "I think the album art shows what "Demon Seed" tries to tell us. The man is trying to get away and make life better, but this "seed" is pulling him back from making any progress. Therefor, making him slip away."

What the art means to me: "Demon Seed: The art shows that (bit of explaining the song here too) the thing that keeps growing is the square. In the end, this man that "The Slip" may be about is fully protected by the red lines, but also from everything else."

Every time I listen to this song the words "Unwanted pregnancy" pop into my head for some reason

Am I the only one that gets the mental image of like Trent kinda having a breakdown during the song for the majority of it. He's upset, but he's not sure WHAT he's upset about,..then around 03:05, everything turns into a blur and starts spinning (kinda like a bomb just went off) only for him to snap RIGHT back into reality and understand everything. Like an uprising within himself?
