The band stated on Metal Underground:
‘Offworlder‘ is the first chapter of Superbloom, where you wake up in an alternate reality, consciousness inhabiting the body of a mysterious dissident. Considered a dangerous terrorist, legions of swat teams have been programmed to shoot in sight, controlled by...
[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
There's no time left to waste now that you're finally awake
You took a lifetime to deprogram so let's cut to the chase
I'd say there's less than seven seconds 'til the bastards breach the door
Just remember nothing's real, they can't hurt you anymore
Run
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
Bullets ricochet, under the gun, reaching for the blade
Passing through the walls, bring the steel, silencing them all
[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
That was just reconnaissance, the Calvary is next
Can you hear them shake the stairwell, weapons climbing up the steps?
Until you cut the transmission, the madness never stops
And there will be no end of them until the signal drops
[Pre-Chorus: Garrett Russell, Mitchell Stark]
Plummeting to pavement just before the room explodes
Hordes of stacking bodies, fall broken by empty souls
Sent from high above to tear the curtain down
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
Bullets ricochet, under the gun, reaching for the blade
Passing through the walls, bring the steel, silencing them all
Beneath a simulated sun, hypnotized, sub-audible hum
Programmed to devour the One
I'll be the rage in your lungs until the network is undone
[Outro: Garrett Russell]
It gazes on, full-scale panic panopticon
Light the match, lay to waste
The isolation we create
