This was inspired by a funny little video game I used to play on my cousin’s computer. You were a dude in armor walking around this island fighting giant spiders and shit, and there was a potion seller in some bar who wore this tie-dye shirt and had hippie shades. Whenever you were done doing business with him, he would just be like “Return here any time you feel the need” in this deep, smooth baritone voice. I just always thought that sounded cool.

People sit in their cars in gas-station lots

And eat and smoke. James Franco – 31

Most gas stations have a mini-mart of some kind that sells cheap, shitty food to weary travelers who need to refuel themselves along with their vehicles. Smoking is prohibited at gas stations because of the risk that an open flame could ignite gasoline fumes in the air and start a fire or even cause an explosion, so smokers (whatever they may be smoking) get around this restriction by just smoking inside their cars with the windows rolled up.

This is not recommended, as it greatly increases your risk of cancer as well as making your whip smell shitty.

Matthew 4:4: But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Holy Bible (KJV) – Matthew 4

Jesus was quoting from Deuteronomy 8:3:

[3] And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

This quote is read in some modern churches (esp. by Christian Scientists) as an admonishment against materialism. Another interpretation, however, is more drastic: this quote can be taken as another one of the Bible’s statements of God’s eternal love for his creation. If every iota of God’s will was not for you to be nourished by that bread you’re eating, you would starve. If God didn’t wish for all his creation to thrive, nothing could exist. Nothing is stronger than God’s love for all his children.

Jonwayne warns the listener against getting caught up in ego and your own perception of yourself.
“Phallus” is the fancy scientific word for cock. You can brag about how big your dick is…just remember how much that matters in the big picture.

I'll pack a Llama
Separate the lions from llamas and alpacas if I pow pow at ya Army of the Pharaohs – The Ultimatum

Llama-Gabilondo y Cia SA was a Spanish arms company known for it’s quality revolvers and pistols. Hence, “llama” as a popular slang term for a handgun in rap.

The second line calls back to “separating the lions from the lambs”-the division of the strong and the weak-and also the aforementioned packing of a Llama-brand firearm.
(Also, “I’ll pack a llama” sounds like “Alpaca llama” which creates a nice little recursive effect)

Occasionally a story would be heard, a rumour from an unreliable source in a bar, or someplace like that
Inevitably, it would be discounted as drunken hearsay, much like Area 51 or the Loch Ness Monster, until they were eventually proven to be true, of course Deltron 3030 (Ft. Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – Stardate

Area 51 is a real air force base in south Nevada. However, the name is usually brought up in reference to the legend that alien life-forms crashed landed on Earth near the City of Roswell, New Mexico circa 1947 and were brought to Area 51 for study.

The Loch Ness Monster is a legendary sea creature resembling a dinosaur that supposedly dwells in Loch Ness, a lake in Scotland. Numerous individuals have come forward with evidence of it’s existence over the centuries; however, such evidence is invariably either inconclusive or a blatant hoax.

The fact that both of these things have been proven real in 3040:

Indicates that the world of the future is far stranger than the one we’re used to.
Serves as a preliminary “fuck you” to doubters of the existence of our heroes Deltron Zero and Automator.
Demonstrates one underlying theme of the album, that world governments are concealing the truth from their people, and that such deception will ultimately be brought to light.
