Song Production Information

DJ Mass MAD Izm*

Something red flares up.
Your sanity is attacked, driving you to madness.
Your mind is fried from it.

This song was made with the idea of someone being driven insane.

In terms of coolness, this song is the most "cool" in SIRIUS.
Like anything beautiful, it moves and pleases the senses.
There are no words in the song that would make it sound corny.

Cool.

Listening to the music, I cannot help but get chills from it.

From the inside, it burns, feeling like a stick beating your brain.

It pierces and burns you.
