Wayne's Notes from the Album:

"This song is about a kind of comfortable paranoia that I feel like everybody has a certain amount of. The character in the song imagines that he is a secret agent on his way to work in the distant future… In his own mind he is the most important man on the planet and bears the responsibility of saving mankind, or something like that. Anyway, so even though it is fake, it makes him feel important. He has a 'mission.' And one day while on this 'imaginary' ride to work he imagines that the pressure of becoming the most important secret agent in the world has become too much, and he collapses into insanity right there, as the morning sun beams through of this futuristic shuttle train... but the 'realness' of this supposed 'imagined' insanity leaves our character stunned that he could so vividly envision his own psychological demise. He is surprised, and panics, and screams… and wonders, is insanity just imagination that can’t find it’s way back to reality?"

Wayne stated before playing this song at shows in fall 2007 that it was an emotional piece for him and he wrote it at the only time in his life in which he had contemplated suicide.

According to Kliph, the "Your Invisible Now" subtitle was incorrectly written that way on cassette or tracking sheet and the band liked the possessive "your" versus "you're/you are," so they kept it that way on the final release.
