I made this track over the last couple of months based on a clear concept I had probably around January of this year. Only in the past two days did it start to come together with the song.
I connect and relate strongly to the lyrics, "Headbone connected to the neckbone Neckbone connected to the armbone Armbone connected to the handbone Handbone connected to the internet Connected to the Google Connected to the government" which describe -through a simple chant- how we are being tracked by Google and also many other giant companies in the space, and through that, the government is tracking us. I don't believe the government tracks us through google here in Canada, but cases have been found in the United States, such as with WikiLeaks and the NSA. While I relate to this today, when the album first came out, this song in particular was widely mocked, with M.I.A being called a "paranoiac", years before this information was widely known. https://genius.com/Mia-the-message-lyrics
