Bassist Sara Claudius said of the song: "I called this song Thanatron, which literally means Death Machine, a term coined by Jack Kevorkian and used as a name for his invention. However, in this story, I'm telling you about a scientist who is watching the death of a star from many lightyears away and his... personal feelings about it, let's just say. Across the album, I wrote the lyrics revolving around one character in a loose plot. We are looking forward to publishing this album and getting the songs, artwork, and lyrics together in one super metal package for you."
