In Absentia is not a concept album, but most of the songs share the same topic, mostly about kidnappers, rapist and serial killers, this one is not the exception, talking about a guy that tortured and raped his own kids and records it for his future enjoyment
[Instrumental Intro 00:00-00:52]
[Verse 1]
He captured and collected things
And he put them in a shed
He raised a proper family
So he could tie them to a bed
[Chorus]
The creator had a mastertape
But he left it in a cab
I stared into the void tonight
The best dream I ever had
[Instrumental Break 01:37-02:07]
[Verse 2]
He worked himself into the ground
And drove a spike into his head
A voice said, "Are you happy now?
Your sordid home is running red"
[Chorus]
The creator had a mastertape
But he left it in a cab
I stared into the void tonight
The best dream I ever had
[Instrumental Break 02:52-03:34]
[Outro]
Pills and chloroform
All the pages torn
Pills and chloroform
All the pages torn
Pills and chloroform
All the pages torn
[Instrumental Outro]
